What Teeth Whitening Options Are Available at Dentist of Northridge?
Your Northridge cosmetic dentist offers two professional whitening options.
Zoom! Whitening
Zoom! whitening is our most popular teeth whitening system. During your whitening session, we’ll
isolate and dry your teeth. Then, we’ll place the whitening gel on the outer surfaces of your teeth.
Shining a blue LED light on the teeth helps activate the gel. We’ll leave the gel on for 15 minutes.
Then, we’ll add more gel for another 15 minutes – a process that repeats for 45 minutes. The total
time for your Zoom! whitening visit is approximately one hour, during which time your teeth can
whiten up to eight shades.
At-Home Whitening
Another option for patients is an at-home whitening kit. These kits allow you to brighten your smile
in the comfort, convenience, and privacy of your own home. We start by fabricating custom whitening
trays. Once completed, we’ll give you the trays and some whitening gel. You’ll place the gel in the
trays and wear them for 15-20 minutes daily. You’ll notice your teeth getting brighter after the
first application. It will take a week or two to get significantly whiter.
