Tooth Whitening Options

           ~ ZOOM! Advanced Power Plus In-Office Whitening 
              ~ Custom Trays with  Take Home Whitening Gel 

ZOOM! Advanced Power Plus is a revolutionary in office whitening procedure.  It's safe, effective, and very fast.  In just over and hour your teeth will be dramatically whiter.  The convenience of ZOOM! in comparison to days and weeks of using strips or trays, makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.  



ZOOM!
Procedure
:  Your teeth & gums are isolated.  The gel is then applied to your teeth, in 3 sessions of 15 minutes, while you relax, sit back, watch a movie or listen to music.  Teeth generally become 6-10 shades whiter.  A fluoride treatment completes the procedure.  You are given take home trays to use periodically for maximum whitening effect, and touch ups every 4-6 months.

Custom Tray Whitening with Take Home Gel



Custom Tray Whitening with Take Home Gel is an excellent way to whiten your teeth while generally slower than ZOOM! whitening, the results are just as effective. 

When sensitivity is an issue, it is the better choice.  Since you can control both the exposure time and the concentration of the gel, you can reduce sensitivity issues.  Sensitivity issues are usually only for a short period of time, and are reduced with the use of fluoride and sensitivity toothpaste.  For those people that are not sensitive, a higher concentration of whitening gel can be used, which shortens the treatment time dramatically.  The latest, greatest, and quickest concentration is 35%, but we have whitening gels that range from 10%-35%.  We use Sapphire, Opalescence, and Nite-White/Day White gel.               
         
                           
Flavors:  melon, plain, cherry, fruit & mint.
       
Tray procedure:  An impression is made of both your upper and lower arches.  These are made into plaster models, from which the trays are made.  Once the trays are made and fitted, you wear the whitening gel for up to 2 hours daily (less time, 30 minutes, if using a higher concentration).  Typical treatment time is 2-3 weeks, with touch ups every 4-6 months for a night or two.
