Tooth Lightening or Bleaching is a process whereby one's teeth can be changed from an existing color to a lighter one. There are many methods that can accomplish this, and depending on one's particular dental condition, various materials can be used.
The whitening process is most effective on mildly discolored teeth. Darker stains such as those caused by antibiotics, take longer to respond to treatment. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth and the duration of the time and system used.

In our office we use three different methods to lighten your teeth:

1. ZOOM!™: This is our in office chair-side whitening system. Results are in about 2 hours. We use a lightening gel that is activated by a specially designed light. The convenience of ZOOM!™ In comparison to days of wearing trays makes this the perfect choice for the busy individual.
2. Night White™: This is our take home night time tooth lightening system. Trays are typically worn at night for at least six hours of wear time. This process usually takes about 2-3 weeks.
3. Day White™: This is our take home day time tooth whitening system. Trays are worn daily for at least 1-2 hours two times per day. This process usually takes 2-3 weeks.
