Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening can often be an appropriate first step toward a smile makeover. Sometimes no matter how much we brush and floss, our teeth can still yellow and stain. This can make patients feel self-conscious about their smile. At 30A Smiles we offer two forms of teeth whitening. We primarily use Zoom!, an in-office whitening treatment, but we also have Opalescence, a take-home whitening toothpaste.

If you’re interested in whitening your teeth, reach out to our office at 30Avenue and we can schedule you an appointment. During your visit, our staff will conduct an examination, walk you through the process, and answer any questions you may have.

For Zoom!, our office will schedule about a 90 minute appointment for your teeth bleaching. At your visit, our staff will bring you back and make you comfortable. After addressing your questions and concerns, our team will apply a whitening gel to your teeth and insert a mouth opening guard. We will then place a concentrated light on your smile so the whitening gel can begin to work. This process will take place a few times throughout your scheduled appointment until you have a brilliant new smile.

Professional teeth whitening is only available through your dentist or a certified provider, while over-the-counter whitening products are available to purchase at most drug stores in the toothpaste section. 

Professional whitening treatments are safer and more effective. The use carbamide peroxide over hydrogen peroxide (which is in over-the-counter products) because of its power to improve results and reach intrinsic strains in your teeth. Professional level teeth bleaching also provides more immediate results, whereas over-the-counter products take several treatments to see a change. While over-the-counter products may initially seem more cost-effective, the costs can add-up due to the need for multiple treatments to see improvements or maintain results.
