Q. Will my teeth be abnormally white and will people notice that I had this procedure done?
A. Your dentist can monitor the procedure and give you the results you are looking for whether it is a more natural or perfectly bright white smile. Simply be vocal in your consultation about what your expectations are.

Q. I don't have time for take-home bleaching. What are my other options?
A. Zoom! teeth whitening system uses a light activated whitening gel. The light aids in activating the active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin while the surface of the tooth remains unchanged. The Zoom! whitening gel in combination with the Zoom! lamp can improve the color of your teeth an average of 8 shades.
