Teeth Whitening

As a person ages, mineral exposure causes the teeth to gradually darken. Over time, some food, drink, or tobacco products also create unattractive yellowish-brown stains. Less commonly, you may experience discoloration due to some medications or bacterial infections.

We offer several techniques for eliminating discoloration to give you a brighter, more attractive smile. These techniques include:

• In-Office Bleaching
• At-Home Whitening

Whitening procedures are not a solution for all discoloration (e.g. darkening caused by cavities). Similarly, whitening does not work on all stains. Dr. Pham is committed to helping you choose the best option for your personal situation. Some cases that are not appropriate for whitening procedures can be effectively treated with restorative options.

Take home whitening procedures can whiten your teeth about 4 to 6 shades on a standard scale showing the range of teeth color. Our in-office whitening can whiten the teeth up to 8 shades, depending on the level of initial discoloration and your desired results.

Whitening Procedures

In-Office Whitening (Philips Zoom!)
Philips Zoom! Teeth Whitening is an in-office treatment that provides you with superior results in about an hour. It uses a formula that allows Dr. Pham to whiten your teeth without any bothersome heat or ultra-violate rays. Additionally, the formula contains potassium nitrate and fluoride that help to improve your oral health by strengthening the enamel, decreasing sensitivity and increasing resistance to cavities.

Philips Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Philips Zoom! is one of the most effective and popular in-office teeth whitening treatments available. Using a powerful whitening gel activated by a specialized LED light, Zoom! can brighten your teeth by several shades in just a single appointment. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and you’ll see immediate results. Zoom! is ideal for patients looking for fast, dramatic whitening, especially for upcoming events or occasions. The treatment is safe, comfortable, and can be customized to your specific whitening goals, ensuring you achieve the bright, stunning smile you desire.

Custom Trays with Take-Home Whitening Kit

You may also choose to whiten your teeth at home. In this case, Dr. Pham will fit a tray to your bite, and provide you with a mild whitening gel. Over a course of weeks or months, you regularly apply the gel to your teeth using the tray.

This method is more gradual, and less noticeable to others. In rare instances, some patients experience gum sensitivity or discomfort in response to the gel.
