TAKE HOME WHITENING TRAYS

Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think.
Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “bleaching” procedure. 

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS OF TEETH WHITENING?

It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.

In only a day or two your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way. When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.

Dental bleaching can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in bleaching technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile. In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns or veneers may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of bleaching treatments bleaching is nearly always worth a solid try

HOW IS TEETH WHITENING DONE?

An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth.
The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or porcelain veneers may be more appropriate.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR TEETH WHITENING

Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies.
However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends

ZOOM! In-Office Whitening

If you prefer teeth that are immediately whiter right now, our practice has your answer with Zoom! The Zoom!

In-Office Whitening System uses proprietary technology to whiten your teeth an average of eight shades* in a little over an hour while you relax at your dentist’s office. It’s ideal for anyone who wants immediate results. The Zoom!

Whitening System uses a revolutionary patent-pending gel to whiten your teeth an average of six shades in three nights*.
And you may go even lighter with additional applications.

IS TOOTH WHITENING SAFE?

Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe.
In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.
As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. 

DO THE RESULTS LAST A LONG TIME?

By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before.
We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste, and touch-ups with Zoom! take-home gel.
These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available through our office 

IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OVER-THE-COUNTER TOOTH WHITENERS AND ZOOM!

Yes! Consulting Dr. Yeh and his associates is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely.
Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades.
Zoom! is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight shades* in one hour or six shades* in just one weekend. 

HOW DOES THE ZOOM! IN-OFFICE SYSTEM WORK?

The Zoom! light-activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged.
The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment.
These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. 

HOW LONG IS THE ZOOM! PROCEDURE?

The entire procedure takes just over one hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching.
A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure (we recommend a cleaning prior to the actual Zoom! Whitening session)
