For patients who want quick results, we offer Zoom teeth whitening. An in-office bleaching procedure that takes about 90 minutes, Zoom is the perfect option for a patient who wants their teeth whitened for a specific event like an upcoming wedding or photo shoot.
The results of Zoom whitening depend on the existing color of your teeth, which will affect the level and duration of my treatment recommendation. Whether your teeth stains are significantly dark, medium or light, Zoom whitening typically results in teeth that are two to three levels lighter than before the treatment, a significant, positive change for most patients.
Other teeth whitening products and procedures are relatively inexpensive, such as a professional-grade day or nighttime whitening gel that is higher in concentration than over-the-counter varieties. Using custom-made whitening trays that match the contours of your smile and ensure contact with all visible surfaces, these gels can help improve the color of your teeth.
Keep in mind, however, that this method does take longer to net results, roughly after three or four applications. (Typically patients are satisfied with whitening after about six-to-eight uses.) Once the desired shade is reached, patients can use the trays to touch up once per year or as needed.
