Take-Home Teeth Whitening
You don’t have to live with dingy, yellow teeth anymore. You also don’t have to commit to in-office whitening treatments if you’d prefer to complete the stain-lifting process at home! All we need to do is create clear, customized bleaching trays for you. Then, you can pour the professional-grade at-home teeth whitening solution inside and wear them for an hour a day. You will notice whiter teeth almost immediately, but the most dramatic results will appear after about two weeks.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
After making yourself comfy in our operatory chair, we’ll place protective coverings over your lips and gums. Then, we’ll apply the Zoom! Whitening gel to your teeth, and a special low-heat light will activate the gel. It will penetrate the enamel and dentin in your teeth to remove deep stains and discoloration. Afterwards, we will apply a fluoride treatment to complete the one-hour procedure. That’s it – in and out.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
To prolong the results of your teeth whitening treatment in Buckhead, we recommend:
- Committing to a solid oral hygiene regimen at home
- Using a straw when drinking pigmented beverages, like coffee
- Eating bananas, oatmeal, and other light-colored foods
- Scheduling a dental cleaning every six months
- Breaking stain-causing habits, like smoking
It’s also worth mentioning here that, if you notice any discoloration, the Zoom! Whitening System includes a take-home touch-up kit with comfortable custom-made trays!
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most reliable ways to brighten your smile because the treatment is planned with your oral health in mind. Before starting, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is a good option and recommend the approach that best fits your specific needs. While many store-bought products promise dramatic results, they won’t typically be as effective as the solution provided by your dentist, or they can increase the risk of tooth sensitivity when used incorrectly. With professional whitening, you can feel confident knowing the treatment is personalized for your smile and designed to deliver safe, noticeable, and long-lasting results.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
If you're looking for a relatively quick and noticeable outcome, professional teeth whitening is hard to beat. Zoom! in-office treatment in Buckhead, Atlanta can brighten your smile by several shades in just one visit, making it a great option if you have a wedding, vacation, or another special event coming up. If you'd rather whiten your teeth at home, we can also provide customized take-home trays that deliver gradual results over a couple of weeks. Every smile responds a little differently, especially if stains are deeper or have built up over many years, so some patients might benefit from additional treatment to reach their ideal shade. We'll help you choose the option that best fits your timeline and smile goals.
Am I a Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Many people are good candidates for teeth whitening, but the treatment won’t always be the best fit for every smile. Our team always recommends an evaluation before getting started. During your visit, we'll talk about what's causing your discoloration, answer any questions you may have, and determine whether whitening can help you achieve the brighter smile you want. We'll also make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment. If any dental concerns need attention first, we'll recommend taking care of those before whitening so you can enjoy the best possible outcome.
Does Teeth Whitening Hurt?
It's completely normal to have concerns about tooth sensitivity when considering teeth whitening. The good news is that professional whitening treatments are designed with your comfort in mind. Because your treatment is tailored to your smile, we can adjust the process based on your needs and help reduce the chance of discomfort. If you already have sensitive teeth, be sure to mention it during your consultation so we can make the right recommendations. Simple steps like using sensitivity toothpaste or adjusting your whitening schedule can also help you enjoy a brighter smile without unnecessary discomfort. Our team may even use sedation dentistry to make sure you’re completely comfortable throughout the process.
