A bright, white smile will improve your self-esteem, make you feel more confident, and make a great impression on everyone you meet. However, the lifestyle you lead, or even just aging, can make your teeth become dingy and discolored. Tooth whitening is a wonderful solution for those who have discolored teeth that are embarrassed by or ashamed of.

The many commercials we have all seen for at-home whitening kits are very tempting because of their convenience, however there are many advantages to obtaining professional teeth whitening. The fact that professional teeth whitening is performed by a dentist is an advantage in itself. A dentist can look at all of your teeth, assess your particular situation, and give you the best options to suit your own needs. In addition, a dentist will notice any other problems with your teeth that may need to be fixed before teeth whitening can be effective.

ZOOM! Whitening

The experienced dentists at Willow Dental Associates offer ZOOM! whitening. ZOOM! is a very safe, very effective way to whiten your teeth. After only one, short visit, you can have teeth up to eight shades whiter. The process is quite short, takes slightly over one hour, and is very safe. A hydrogen peroxide liquid is applied to the teeth, and then a special light is shined on your teeth. This whole process is repeated three times, each time lasting twenty minutes. The soft tissue in your mouth will be protected, and the procedure is pain free.

Professional tooth whitening is a much quicker, much more effective process than at-home whitening kits. There are no gels or guards to wear at night, and you will walk away with a smile you can be proud of.
