Philips Zoom In-Office Whitening

Zoom in-office whitening can brighten your teeth up to 8 shades in just one appointment—typically about 45 minutes to an hour of treatment time. This is perfect for patients who want immediate results for an upcoming event, job interview, wedding, or simply don't want to wait for gradual whitening.

How Zoom In-Office Whitening Works

1. Preparation: We protect your gums and lips, leaving only your teeth exposed.
2. Whitening Gel Application: A professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to your teeth.
3. LED Light Activation: The Zoom LED light activates the gel, breaking down stains at a molecular level.
4. Multiple Sessions: The process is repeated in 15-minute sessions (typically 3-4 sessions in one appointment).
5. Post-Treatment Care: We apply a sensitivity-reducing gel and provide aftercare instructions.

Benefits of Zoom In-Office Whitening

• Dramatic results—up to 8 shades whiter in one visit
• Immediate transformation (perfect for special events)
• Professionally supervised for safety
• Reduced sensitivity with WhiteSpeed technology
• Long-lasting results with proper maintenance

Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays

Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? Our custom take-home whitening system delivers professional results in the comfort of your home. Unlike one-size-fits-all drugstore trays, we create custom-fitted trays from impressions of your teeth, ensuring even whitening coverage and minimizing gum irritation.

How Take-Home Whitening Works

1. Custom Tray Fabrication: We take impressions of your teeth and create precision-fit whitening trays.
2. Professional-Strength Gel: You receive professional-grade whitening gel (stronger than store-bought products).
3. Daily Application: Wear the trays with gel as directed, typically 30-60 minutes daily or overnight.
4. Gradual Results: Noticeable whitening within days, optimal results in 1-2 weeks.

Benefits of Take-Home Whitening

• Whiten at your convenience
• Custom-fitted trays for comfort and effectiveness
• Professional-strength results at a lower cost than in-office treatment
• Touch-up friendly—use trays for periodic maintenance
• Great for maintaining results after in-office whitening

Which Whitening Option Is Right for You?

Best of Both Worlds: Many patients start with Zoom in-office whitening for immediate results, then use custom take-home trays for periodic touch-ups to maintain their bright smile.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Professional teeth whitening supervised by a dentist is safe and effective. Unlike over-the-counter products, professional whitening uses carefully formulated gels and proper techniques to protect your teeth and gums. We evaluate your oral health before whitening to ensure you're a good candidate and address any concerns.

Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, which typically resolves within a day or two. We provide guidance on managing sensitivity and recommend products that can help.

What About Stains That Don't Respond to Whitening?

Teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Some intrinsic stains (caused by medications, trauma, or developmental factors) may not respond fully to whitening. In these cases, we may recommend alternatives such as dental veneers or cosmetic bonding to achieve your desired smile.
