We offer three tooth-whitening systems at Meetinghouse Dental Care. If you are
uncertain which to try, ask!
Zoom2 and customized trays are ideal for those who need to lighten more than 4
shades quickly or for those who wish to minimize at-home tray wear. Whitening
involves one 90-minute on-site session and three consecutive nights of tray wear
with Turbo White brightening gel.
If you don't mind tray wear, we recommend the Colgate customized tray whitening
system to lighten several shades. Whitening protocol includes ½ hour for
impressions in our office and then ½ hour per day of at-home tray wear for as
few as 3 days or for as many days as it takes to achieve the results you desire.
You choose your shade!
Deep BleachingTM is the only system proven to whiten tetracycline-stained teeth,
and it is ideal for those seeking a youthful Hollywood brightness and
translucency. The procedure involves a 60 minute in-office conditioning visit,
two weeks of nighttime tray wear, and a 60 minute final on-site whitening
session. The trays are specially fabricated to provide a gum-line seal against
saliva contamination. Provided you do your part, you can reach the lightest
shades of white on the bleaching scale.
If you have veneers, crowns, or bonded teeth that show when you smile, no
whitening system will change the original color of the porcelain or bonding
(although whitening will remove stains accumulated on the surfaces). After your
whitening session, bleached teeth will stand out as noticeably brighter. Plan to
wait a week after the final bleaching session for the new color to settle before
beginning replacement dentistry.
Your teeth should be professionally cleaned before you begin to whiten. If you
have plaque/tartar on your teeth, it will block the whitening action.
Regardless of which system you choose, the time it takes to reach your ideal
shade will vary according to factors such as body chemistry, bleaching history,
age, and enamel composition. Compliance with recommended tray wear will be key.
Today's professional world rate smiles THE number one factor in favorable first
impressions. Make your smile radiant!
