Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of our most popular services. A bright, white smile makes an amazing first impression and bolsters self-confidence. However, over time teeth lose their youthful luster. Tobacco, coffee and tea, red wine, medications, and negligent home care add to discoloration.

But, in just one visit to Zen Dental, you can enjoy a dazzling smile – today! We specialize in the Zoom! chair side system. Your gums (including areas of recession), lips, and cheeks are carefully protected, leaving only your teeth exposed. Then a whitening gel is smoothed onto the teeth. A special light, designed to work with the Zoom! bleaching agent is directed at the gel to accelerate the whitening process. After 15 minutes, the gel is removed and a new layer applied. In just three applications, in about an hour, you’ll see instant, dramatic results – teeth that are seven-to-ten shades whiter.

The Zoom! process is very safe since soft tissues are protected to minimize risk of sensitivity. We recommend that pregnant women wait until after the happy event to whiten teeth. And we, of course, address active decay or gum disease prior to whitening.

Your new smile will stay bright for about a year (heavy smokers and coffee drinkers may need a few touch-ups). And with good home care, can last even longer.

If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the privacy of your own home, at your convenience, we also offer take-home trays. We take impressions of your teeth to create comfortable, custom-fit trays. You apply a prescription-grade whitening gel to the trays and wear them for about an hour each day. You’ll see improvement right away, and full results in about two weeks. The trays can be used for occasional re-whitening as well.

Whiter teeth – one of the most effective ways to improve your look, and now easier than ever to achieve. We occasionally run specials. Contact Zen Dental today for the best deal and more information on teeth whitening.
