Teeth Whitening

A bright, vibrant smile can make a person appear more friendly, successful, and intelligent! It’s no wonder teeth whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments. We offer two ways to whiten at our Los Alamitos dental office- Zoom! Whitening and take-home teeth whitening.

Zoom! Whitening
Zoom! is widely recognized as the leading in-office teeth whitening system. With Zoom! patients can reach maximum whiteness in just under an hour. At your Zoom! Whitening appointment, the dentist will coat your teeth with the specially-formulated lightening solution. The solution contains peroxide to gently erase stains and fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel. The dentist activates the solution with a no-heat lamp. In just 45 minutes, your teeth will be 8 to 10 shades brighter. Some patients experience transitory sensitivity after Zoom! Whitening, which will subside after a few days.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you have darker stains, or prefer to whiten at home, we recommend professional take-home teeth whitening. Unlike over-the-counter whiteners, professional systems are customized to your teeth and they produce far more satisfying results. With our take-home teeth whitening system, your teeth will lighten 6 to 8 shades in a matter of weeks. When you come in for your take-home teeth whitening appointment, the dentist will create custom trays that form to the contours of your teeth. The trays will also protect your lips gums from the bleaching solution. Fill the trays with the solution and wear them for the specified amount of time. Discontinue treatment when your teeth have reached the desired level of brightness, usually about two weeks. Take-home teeth whitening can be combined with in-office Zoom! Whitening for optimal results.
