Zoom Teeth Whitening
Want to get a stunning, megawatt smile? We can help!
Our office uses Phillips Zoom Whitening products to deliver the most advanced results to our patients.
Zoom incorporates a state-of-the-art dental laser process to enhance your smile’s response to the professional grade whitening product. As such, stains are oxidised much quicker, leaving a brighter colour behind.
A typical same-day Zoom treatment only takes about an hour to complete.
Highest Quality Treatment
Professional teeth whitening uses stronger, high-grade concentrations of gel than commercial products. Whether you’re having your teeth whitened in a same-day procedure or with a convenient take-home kit, your investment will promise a better outcome with gentler results.
Instant Results in One Visit
Opting to have your teeth professionally whitened offers the best results possible.
You can even choose to have your teeth treated in one day (in-house whitening). When you do, you’ll see several shades of improvement at the same appointment.
The Best Price for Our Patients
Teeth whitening is an affordable cosmetic dental treatment that we offer. By selecting the best product for our patients, we provide you with the highest return on your investment. You can choose to whiten your teeth as a stand-alone procedure or combine it with other aesthetic service.
Should You Whiten Your Teeth?
Whitening treatments are great for situations like:
- An important, short-notice event in the next few days
- Matching new dental veneers, bonding or crowns to brighter neighbouring teeth
- As a stand-alone smile enhancement
- To complement your smile during ClearCorrect treatment
- If your teeth are starting to look darker than in years past
- Stain from tobacco, coffee, tea, etc.
Candidates for Teeth Whitening
Before whitening your teeth, we’ll need to make sure that your mouth is healthy. You’ll be screened for conditions like tooth decay and gum disease, which will need to be addressed before applying a bleaching agent to your teeth.
Another thing to keep in mind is if you have any existing, visible dental work in the area. Since white fillings or crowns won’t respond to bleaching, they’ll remain the same colour throughout your whitening process. If you plan to have them updated with a brighter shade, it’s best to whiten your teeth first.
We do not recommend teeth whitening for children, as their smiles are still developing and may be especially sensitive. Teens with healthy teeth may qualify on a case-by-case basis.
Teeth Whitening At Home
We’re proud to offer both in-chair and at home whitening kits for your convenience. Typically, patients enjoy scheduling an in-chair session to brighten their teeth quickly to the desired shade. Then, they can use at-home treatments as maintenance when needed. This helps to keep your smile bright and white for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
We want to make sure you make the best decision for your oral health. If you’re interested in teeth whitening, review some of the most frequently asked questions we hear often below. If you have other questions not found here, simply give our practice a call-we’re happy speak with you.
Does whitening harm your teeth?
When done so in a professional environment, like our practice, teeth whitening doesn’t typically come with any side effects or potential hazards for the teeth. Our team has years of experienced and is trained in the best possible techniques for teeth whitening, bringing optimal results to patients.
Should I avoid eating or drinking anything specific after teeth whitening?
We recommend not consuming foods or drinks high in sugar or dark and bright colored substances, like ketchup, coffee or fizzy drinks. For a complete list, ask us at your appointment.
Should I prepare my teeth for whitening?
There’s nothing special you need to do for your visit. If you are worried about slight pain, you may take an over the counter pain reliever before your visit to help with any discomfort, though most patients don’t have any trouble without it.
How long does a whitening appointment last?
A whitening visit to our practice will last roughly one hour. During this time, we’ll whiten your teeth and create custom moulds if you’d like a take home kit to use.
Is teeth whitening painful?
Most of our patients find teeth whitening pain free. For those with sensitive teeth, you may experience slight discomfort for the following hour or two after your visit. This is nothing that an over the counter pain medication can’t handle.
How often will I need to whiten my teeth?
This is up to you. However, we recommend not going overboard as your teeth may become overly sensitive. You can achieve a whiter smile in our practice in just one office visit, improving the colour several shades. Patients tend to visit us once or twice a year for touchups if they aren’t whitening their teeth at home. Results will not last forever, though the longevity depends on how well you care for your teeth and whether or not their prone to stains.
