Teeth Whitening

When a patient is having their teeth whitened it is ideal for the patient to have healthy gums along with unrestored teeth. The reason for this is when a patient teeth have any kind of restorations done, whether it be fillings or crowns those teeth will not change color when done. Typically when a patient’s teeth have a yellow tones they respond best. 

Whitening toothpaste can help, but it doesn’t stay on the teeth long enough to do anything more than just remove surface stains or lighten about 1 shade. 

Light-activated systems, like Zoom that we offer, can lighten your teeth up to eight shades.The typical result for zoom is around 3-4 shades whiter. It does require follow-up whitening done at home with custom made trays & whitening gel.

We do recommend you get your teeth cleaned before starting any procedure. This is to make sure we remove as much staining and calculus as possible so that you reach your desire color. We also offer opalescence Go trays or costume trays with take home gel.
