Tooth Whitening

Are you are looking for a safe, easy, and inexpensive procedure to brighten your smile? Then tooth whitening (or bleaching) may be right for you.

Tooth discoloration can occur for various reasons including staining from coffee, tea, wine, cigarettes, natural aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Over-the-counter whitening agents are available at drug stores. But these products can be harmful to the gums and teeth.

A popular option is the at-home whitening tray. During an office visit we will fit you for a customized tray. An impression will be made of your teeth and a clear “tray” will be made for your teeth. In a couple of days you will pick up your tray, whitening gel, and instructions for at-home use. Typically you will wear the tray for approximately an hour a day for a couple of weeks. Stubborn stains may take longer.

If time is a factor for you, you may want to consider Zoom!® Zoom is the latest in laser technology that can whiten your teeth in less than an hour. Zoom is effective, safe and fast. Zoom!® employs a specially designed UV light in combination with a formulated whitening gel. It can only be administered by a dental professional.

Tooth whitening is not a permanent solution. You might want to consider combining your Zoom!® Laser Whitening with our at-home tray system to keep your smile brilliant white between office visits.
