The whitening process takes about an hour, and may take several treatments to achieve the desired results and bleaching trays for home use may be needed as well to improve or maintain those results.

How long do the results last?

By following simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before.  To keep both your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily.

Are there any side effects?

Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients.  The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which may be a source of discomfort, on rare occasions.

Teeth whitening may be carried out at home using special mouth trays and a mild bleaching agent is carefully applied to the teeth.

Home (Tray) Whitening)

Custom fitting soft whitening trays are made into which the whitening gel is placed. Typically they have to be worn overnight. Different concentrations of gel can be used in different circumstances and the dentist will prescribe the concentration that they feel most appropriate. Typically the trays are worn over a 2-4 week period.
