That’s where our next option for teeth whitening comes in. Zoom! whitening is a revolutionary in-office whitening treatment that has soared in popularity over the last decade because of its low cost and dramatic results. In just one visit to our office, you can have a smile that’s eight shades whiter than the one you had before.

The procedure begins with a short preparation to isolate and protect your lips and gums. Your dentist may recommend a routine cleaning before the treatment to ensure the best results. A dental assistant will then apply the Zoom! Teeth Whitening Gel and turn on a specially-designed light. The light activates the whitening gel, prompting the hydrogen peroxide in the gel to connect to (and thus weaken) the stained molecules. Your dental assistant will complete this twenty-minute process a total of three times during your visit.

Some patients with tooth sensitivity find the treatment a little uncomfortable which is the biggest drawback of the treatment. Still, for most, Zoom! is easy, painless, and affordable.

The Invisalign® system is the most advanced clear aligner system in the world. Backed by two decades of innovation, the Invisalign® system has helped bring smiles to approximately 14 million people including over 4 million teens. Invisalign® is a more subtle, alternative solution to perfecting your smile through orthodontic treatment. The clear, custom aligners work to slowly and gently shift your teeth into position, correcting bite issues, overcrowding or large, uneven spacing. Invisalign trays are comfortable and removable so you do not have to deal with the interference that comes with metal braces when speaking, eating, or drinking. It is never too late to have a perfect smile. If you would like your teeth to be straighter and more properly aligned but don’t want to go through the lengthy process and unsightliness of braces, then Invisalign is for you!

Consider 3M Clarity Aligner treatment to get the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted — without braces. Treatment with 3M Clarity Aligners use a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Not only are 3M Clarity Aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. 3M Clarity Aligners also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. You wear each set of 3M Clarity Aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30. The exact duration and number of trays will depend on your individualized treatment plan. However, treatment time with 3M Clarity Aligners is typically about half that of traditional braces.
