Professional Teeth Whitening: Take Years Off Your Appearance in Under an Hour

As solid, staunch, and permanent as your teeth seem, tooth enamel is permeable at the microscopic level, making it vulnerable to stains from food, beverages, and cigarette smoke. It’s no wonder that people spend billions on teeth whitening products. 

At New York Dental Health, chairside whitening procedures are one of the most requested patient services, and that’s why we chose the Philips Zoom! teeth whitening system for our patients. No over-the-counter whitening treatment comes close to the power of Zoom!

Staining factors that your teeth face

Tooth discoloration is a fact of life. Even if you don’t drink coffee, tea, or red wine, or you skip bright berries and tomato sauce, your teeth can turn noticeably dingy over time from other factors. 

Cigarette smoke makes your teeth yellow from nicotine. Plaque buildup could lead to increased staining. You may have a genetic link that gives you a natural tooth shade that’s darker than average, and even getting older can reveal more of the yellow inner dentin layer through translucent enamel. 

Medications, metabolic diseases, traumatic tooth damage, and even an excess of fluoride may also leave you unhappy with the brightness of your smile.

All of these effects can be cumulative, and nearly everyone starts with teeth that tend toward the ivory side of white. Those brilliant Hollywood smiles in movies and on television can be as artificial as a painted background. 

How dental office teeth whitening works

The bleaches we use at our seven offices in the Bronx and New York City have the power to whiten your teeth up to eight shades brighter than your natural smile. We do this in a single appointment of about an hour, where we whiten your teeth in three 15-minute segments, accelerated by a special light. 

The concentration of the Zoom! bleaching gels deliver vastly more whitening power than any product you can buy in a pharmacy. Consumer whiteners must maintain a wide safety margin to prevent accidental damage from improper use. 

Our Zoom! specialists receive the training and the experience needed to make your whitening session both safe and successful. 

Extend the benefits

Even with the best whitening treatments, your teeth remain vulnerable to further staining. While you can try to avoid staining factors, life is made for living, and we can help you extend the results of your session with at-home care products that slow the staining process. 

We can fit you with custom-made trays for home whitening. Using lower concentrations of peroxide bleaches, the trays permit an easy way to stretch the results of your in-office treatment by attacking discoloration as it occurs.
