TOOTH WHITENING

Tooth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

Because having white teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth.  The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically.  Since tooth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings crowns, etc.  Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

Tooth whitening is not permanent.  A touch up maybe needed every several years and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea or wine. 

 In our office at Chapel Hill Dental Arts,  we have two methods of whitening teeth available for our patients.   We offer the WHITENING FOR LIFE program that includes take home bleaching trays made here in our office with an initial supply of whitening gel.  At every scheduled hygiene appointment, you will also receive another tube of touch up whitening gel at no additional charge. 

Dr. Zaidi also offers a whitening process called ZOOM that provides whitening in a single visit using a special whitening solutions that are activated by with the use of a light source.  This process usually takes about 2 hours and produces a result that can be seen immediately.

Tooth whitening can bring you a brighter smile with very little effort- why not give it a try?
