Tooth Whitening

We offer two different options for tooth whitening.

Take home whitening: We custom make soft plastic trays by taking molds of your teeth. You then use the trays at home with a professional strength carbamide peroxide gel sold only in dental offices. The gel is placed in the trays and then onto your teeth for approx 30 minutes per day for up to two weeks. Sometimes an enamel mineral treatment will be recommended if sensitivity is experienced.

Zoom In Office whitening: A two hour appointment is booked in a dental chair. A very high concentration of peroxide is applied to the enamel after precisely protecting the gums, lips and tongue. A special light is activated. This will get the teeth several shades brighter in a short period of time. A mineral treatment for the enamel is applied following the treatment to reduce sensitivity and slow the process or restaining. Take home trays are custom made so you can re-whiten at home when necessary.
