Tooth Whitening
Serving Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Wexford - Pennsylvania
Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures we offer. Available in a variety of forms, modern professional teeth whitening procedures offer patients a wide range of options to address their unique needs and preferences, so that every patient can have a bright, sparkling, healthy looking smile.
We offer two general types of teeth whitening procedures: In-office whitening with the Zoom 2 system and custom-designed, take home, teeth whitening systems that let you whiten your teeth safely, comfortably, and effectively in your own home.
Teeth can become stained and discolored from a variety of causes, including:
- Food and drink that cause staining, including berries, coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark-colored foods
- Smoking
- Injury or illness
- Certain chemicals, including tetracycline
- The aging process—no matter how careful we are, our teeth naturally change color as we age
In most cases, including the majority of food, drink, and age-related staining, our teeth whitening patients are able to achieve their desired whitening using either our in-office Zoom 2 tooth whitening procedure, or our custom at-home teeth whitening treatments.
In cases of stubborn or deep discolorations such as that resulting from injury, illness, or drug side effects, porcelain veneers may be your best option to achieve the beautiful, white smile wanted.
Advanced Zoom Chairside Tooth Whitening
The Advanced Zoom teeth whitening system is the most advanced in-office teeth whitening system available today.
Performed in a single office visit, the Advanced Zoom tooth whitening system can whiten your teeth as many as nine to twelve shades in a single, one-hour treatment.
The Advanced Zoom teeth whitening system uses a prescription strength bleaching gel applied to your teeth, which is then activated with a specially calibrated, bright light to achieve maximum whitening in a minimum amount of time.
Take Home Teeth Whitening Treatments
In addition to our in-office procedures, we also offer custom, at-home, teeth whitening kits for our patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own homes.
The take home teeth whitening procedure requires a single office visit, during which we will take a precise impression of your mouth, and design a custom tray for you to use for the tooth whitening procedure.
Once we have completed your custom dental tray, we will instruct you in its proper use and provide you with a specially formulated bleaching agent that will help you achieve your tooth whitening goals.
In most cases, your custom tooth whitening procedure will take place over the course of several home treatments anywhere between one week and one month, depending on your specific needs and goals.
