Choose how to Whiten your Teeth
The in-office whitening procedure is done with either our Zoom! In-office Teeth Whitening system or our GLO in-office Whitening system. Both procedures will provide a boost in your whitening and can achieve 4 to 8 shades of improvement. It involves carefully covering all the tissues surfaces with a protective barrier leaving only the tooth structure exposed. The whitening gel is then placed onto the teeth and a special light is then exposed onto the teeth for a few minutes. This will accelerate the whitening process. It is repeated 3 to 4 times in one session to get maximum results. After an in- office whitening procedure, we recommend that you refrain from consuming dark foods and drinks such as coffee or wine for at least a day.
The other effective whitening procedure is at home whitening. People are very familiar with the store bought whitening strips. These can be effective for minor shade changes but the more powerful whitening products can only be obtained from your dentist. We offer custom tray delivered gel from Zoom! At home whitening. Impressions are taken of your teeth so that custom fit whitening trays can be made. You simply fill the trays with whitening gel and wear it for 30 minutes each day for 2 weeks. We also offer GLO at home whitening. This procedure involves painting a whitening gel onto your teeth and then wearing a battery powered lighted mouthpiece. You wear it for 8 minutes at a time and can do it 4 times in a row.
