Tooth whitening systems

We have been involved in tooth whitening systems since the late 1980's when they first became available. Over this period many systems have been helpful. Today, the most successful and popular types are: one hour-in office systems and home tray systems.

In our experience, the "in office"  whitening system, which takes about one hour is the most popular. We feel the ZOOM II which recently improved to become ZOOM ADVANCED POWER is the best system. We also include home trays with this system which allows for additional "off the charts" whitening and "touch up" whitening that our patients use to maintain their smile at their original ZOOM level.

The home tray system involves making a special tray that is used daily with whitening gels over a two week period. The results are as good as the "in office" system but require strict compliance with the instructions for best results.

We also offer "PROFESSIONAL STRENGTH CREST WHITE STRIPS" that whiten your teeth at a higher strength than available at retail stores. Our experience has been that the OTC and Professional white strips work well with persons under 25 years of age. As we get older, the embedded enamel stains require stronger agents to be effective then the white strip systems can deliver.
