Teeth Whitening

You may be wondering why you should see your dentist for teeth whitening. After all, there are plenty of over-the-counter teeth whitening products available at virtually any drug store. But the truth is that none of the OTC product are as effective as professional whitening procedures performed at our office.

Having your teeth whitened with Zoom! usually takes about an hour in our Cedar Park office. The process starts when the Zoom! whitening gel is applied to your teeth. After that, we’ll ask that you sit under the specially designed Zoom! light for 15 minutes while the whitening gel does its work. This process is typically repeated two more times. The whole process may only take an hour or so, but the results are stunning!

You should know that teeth whitening may not be right for everyone. If you have sensitive teeth to begin with, whitening may increase that sensitivity for a short period of time after the process. Whitening products are only intended for permanent teeth, so it’s not appropriate for children. And whitening products don’t work on dental restorations (such as crowns, bridges, etc.).
