What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. Professional treatments use safe, effective whitening gels to deliver noticeable and long-lasting results.

The Process:

In-Office Zoom! Whitening:

1. Consultation: We’ll evaluate your oral health and discusses your whitening goals.

2. Preparation: A protective barrier is applied to your gums to shield them during treatment.

3. Application of Whitening Gel: A professional-strength gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a special Zoom! light, breaking down deep stains.

4. Repeat Applications: The process is repeated in short intervals (15-20 minutes) for up to three sessions during a single appointment, with results visible immediately after the session.

5. Post-Treatment Care: Your teeth are cleaned, and you’ll receive instructions to maintain your brighter smile.​​​​​​

Take-Home Sonicare Whitening Kit:

1. Consultation: We’ll evaluate your oral health and discusses your whitening goals. You can then purchase your take-home kit at our office.

2. Whiten teeth at home: The kit includes trays that mold to fit your teeth, and gel that is dispensed into the trays using a dual syringe applicator that comes with 3 doses. An indicator on the side helps you use the right amount. Use the kit as directed over several days to gradually achieve a brighter smile. Expect first results in just 3 days. Full results after 9 days.
