Benefits of Zoom Whitening

This advanced whitening system is safe and effective when it comes to brightening your smile. Patients love that it uses LED technology, which involves simply applying a whitening gel and a blue light to activate it. While a patient sits back and relaxes, their teeth whiten. It’s that simple.

After your treatment, we recommend that you don’t consume any dark color foods or drinks for 48 hours. This is because teeth whitening makes the pores of your teeth open, which allows the whitening agent to get deep into your teeth. When your teeth are porous, they’re more susceptible to dark stains, too.

After 48 hours, a patient can return to their normal diet.

Take-Home Whitening

We also offer take-home options so you can brighten your teeth at your convenience. Zoom! and Opalescence™ home whitening products are professional-grade bleaching gels you use daily for two weeks or more to achieve your desired shade. We’ll create custom trays and provide you with the gel and instructions on how to get the best results. Your teeth will lighten gradually, provided you don’t smoke or eat or drink staining foods and beverages until after the process is complete.
