Teeth Whitening

Are you unsatisfied with the color of your teeth? Staining can occur for many reasons including smoking or tobacco use. Your teeth can also become stained by regularly eating certain foods and beverages. Plus, teeth naturally start to darken as you age.

Luckily, visiting our office for a professional whitening treatment can reverse the effects of tooth staining and give you back your dazzling smile. Brilliant, white teeth will make you look healthier and more youthful.

There are many over-the-counter whitening treatments readily available for purchase; however, professional whitening is generally more effective and safer. Applicator trays in over-the-counter kits like are “one size fits all,” which can result in them fitting uncomfortably in your mouth since they aren’t designed specifically for your teeth. Whitening gels included with this type of product can sometimes be too abrasive or can leak because of ill-fitting trays, leading to gum and other soft tissue irritation. 

For these reasons, you may want to choose professional whitening instead. The whitening service provided by your dentist may consist of two phases - an in-office whitening session and a customized at-home kit and care plan.

In-Office Whitening

Zoom!® Teeth Whitening in Frederick,MD

With brilliant, long-lasting results in about an hour, Zoom!® teeth whitening is a quick way to brighten your smile. By using a bleaching gel and a special lamp designed to activate the gel, this dental teeth whitening technique offers an average of eight shades of improvement in one treatment.

We take pride in our patient care and want you to be completely satisfied with your results, so we perform a thorough dental exam to determine the cause of your discoloration before teeth whitening. This is important because peroxide-based teeth whiteners do not work on tetracycline stains, crowns or veneers, and diet and certain medications can affect the expected results. In addition, some teeth may be discolored due to defective fillings or decay requiring repair before cosmetic whitening. Gum disease and other routine dental care may also need to be completed before you can experience the maximum benefits of Zoom!® in Frederick.

To enhance and maintain your newly brightened smile, you’ll also receive an at-home teeth whitening kit.

Your applicator trays will be made just for you, and the strength of the whitening gel will be chosen to meet your needs. You will be given specific instructions for how to use it safely.

After this kind of whitening treatment, you will typically be asked to schedule a follow-up visit with our office to check on your progress.We currently provide Zoom Whitening kit to our patients. Call us to ask about our Whitening specials in Frederick.
