What to Expect

Preparation and Consultation

Your journey to a brighter, whiter smile begins with a conversation and exam. Dr. Newhouse and her team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and determine if you are a good candidate for the Zoom!® system. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your needs and delivers the best possible results.

The Whitening Process

The entire process takes about one-and-a-half to two hours from start to finish. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect:

• Initial Preparation: We start by covering your lips and gums so only your teeth are exposed. This ensures safety and comfort during the procedure.
• Application of Whitening Gel: We will apply Zoom!® whitening gel to your teeth which breaks down stains and discoloration.
• Activation with Zoom!® Light: The Zoom!® light activates the gel, accelerating the process.
• Multiple Applications: The process may be repeated several times, typically in 15-minute intervals. The actual bleaching process usually takes about an hour.
• Post-Treatment Care: Once the desired shade is reached, a fluoride treatment is applied to your teeth to reduce sensitivity and strengthen your enamel.
• Patient-Centered Care: Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. We take the time to listen to your needs and address your concerns.
• Comprehensive Dental Services: Besides whitening, we offer a wide range of dental services to keep your smile healthy and beautiful.

The Results:

Typically, lightening of 3 to 7 shades is seen with a single session. Results can vary based on individual factors such as the initial tooth, dental health, and lifestyle habits. We are confident you will love the outcome. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and your smile brighter, boosting your confidence and overall appearance.

Post-Whitening Care

To maintain your newly whitened smile, it’s important to follow a few simple guidelines:

• Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: For at least 48 hours after the treatment, avoid colored foods and drinks.
• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and clean between teeth 2x/day.
• Regular Dental Check-Ups: Regular exams and cleanings to keep your teeth healthy and white.
• Touch-Up Treatments: Over time, teeth may lose some of their brightness. Touch up treatments can help maintain your smile.
