Teeth Whitening: At Home or with Zoom! In Our Office
Modern teeth whitening is safe, effective, and causes less sensitivity than former products. Dr. Ellis offers two systems: Zoom! Whitening in our office and professional home whitening kits, complete with custom -fitted trays and potent bleaching gel. If you’re uncertain which type of teeth whitening is right for you, talk with Dr. Ellis. She can ask key questions to help you determine the best method of brightening your smile.
With Zoom! Whitening, you can expect a dramatically whiter smile in just one visit. We’ll apply the patented Zoom! gel to your teeth, then expose it to a soft light. This will stimulate a chemical reaction that lifts stains from tooth enamel so that we can wash them away. Zoom! is perfect for people who need instant results for a special occasion or important appointment.
If you prefer a more gradual shade change, but want stellar results, Dr. Ellis will recommend professional home whitening. We provide patients with mouth trays, prescription-strength bleaching gel, and instructions for use. In most cases, patients are encouraged to wear the gel-lined trays for one to two hours a night, over the course of two weeks. The results of home teeth whitening rival in-office teeth whitening.
Want to keep that sparkling smile forever? No problem. Whether you choose Zoom! Whitening or home whitening, Dr. Ellis recommends using the home system for touch ups as needed. If you deplete your supply of bleaching gel, simply call our Missouri City office for a refill.
