TEETH WHITENING

IMPROVE YOUR SMILE AND YOUR CONFIDENCE

PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING IN YORKTOWN, VA

Teeth whitening is a cost-effective and dramatic way to improve the aesthetics of your smile. It is non-invasive and the results can be noticed in approximately a week (for take-home kits) which makes it a great first step in improving the aesthetics of your smile. One of the most common reasons people choose to whiten their teeth is for the removal of stains. Stains on teeth occur over time from exposure to certain foods, liquids such as coffee or tea, aging and smoking. There are several options of whitening systems that can help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile.

AFFORDABLE AT-HOME TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS

There are many over-the-counter products available that provide affordable stain removal. These products are usually diluted to make them safe for the masses. Over-the-counter teeth whitening products include:

  • Whitening toothpaste – contains mild abrasives, gentle polishing or chemical agents that provide additional stain removal effectiveness.

  • Whitening mouth rinses – containing hydrogen peroxide which whitens teeth

  • Whitening gels – clear, peroxide-based gels applied with a small brush directly to the surface of your teeth

  • Whitening strips – very thin, virtually invisible strips that are coated with a peroxide-based whitening gel. The strips are applied twice daily for 30 minutes for 14 days.

Dr. Anthony Martin, located in Yorktown, VA, offers two forms of teeth whitening. For the patient seeking near-term to immediate results, Dr. Martin suggests professional whitening.

PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING OPTIONS

Professional teeth whitening gives our patients the option of improving their personal and professional image. At Anthony Martin Dentistry, we offer two options for safe and effective whitening:

IN-OFFICE POWER WHITENING WITH ZOOM

ZOOM Teeth whitening is the fastest whitening method. ZOOM is the same system used in the hit show “Extreme Makeover”. It works with a gel that is applied to the teeth and activated to full effectiveness with a special light. We bleach for 3 or 4 rounds of 15 minutes, and the entire procedure takes about an hour and a half. We use a safe formula and most of our patients report little or no sensitivity.

At Anthony Martin Dentistry, your purchase of ZOOM whitening also includes take-home trays to further whiten your teeth or to use for touch-ups over the years.

TAKE-HOME WHITENING KIT

The take-home kit is perfect for those patients who have more time to dedicate to whitening their teeth, and for those with sensitive teeth who still hope to bleach. The results are the same as with ZOOM.

The take-home whitening system requires a visit to our office so that Dr. Martin can create a custom-made tray for you. Then you will place the gel in the trays and wear them while you sleep. Since they are perfectly tailored for your mouth, they will feel comfortable and will not interfere with your sleeping.

BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING

There are numerous benefits to whitening your smile beyond simple aesthetics. Studies show that when people have whiter teeth they are more likely to smile and have a greater sense of self-confidence. Additional benefits to professional whitening include:

  • Over-the-counter products can leave streaks and unnatural-looking bright splotches
  • The gel used by dentist is vastly superior to the types found over the counter
  • Procedure is performed under the supervision of a qualified cosmetic dentist
  • Results last for years

SUCCESS STORIES

READ WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT ZOOM!

“I decided to try Zoom! Teeth Whitening after I tried several over-the-counter kits and saw little to no results. After one hour my teeth were the whitest they ever have been in my life. I saved time and money and I was able to do it during my lunch hour. Thank you to my hygienist, Jenny who suggested it!”
