At Tuckahoe Creek Dental, we believe your smile should radiate confidence. Professional teeth whitening can visibly brighten your smile in a safe and effective way. We offer Phillips Zoom! in-office and custom take-home teeth whitening kits, giving you whitening options tailored to your budget and goals.

What Is Phillips Zoom! Teeth Whitening?

Phillips Zoom! is a professional whitening system that uses a hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. The gel is activated with a special light, which helps to accelerate the whitening process by breaking up stains and discoloration.

While store-bought whitening strips may promise quick results, they often deliver uneven whitening, increased sensitivity and inconsistent outcomes. Professional in-house whitening is safer, stronger and more customized than what you can find at the store. At Tuckahoe Creek Dental, we use the most advanced whitening technology available to provide a high-quality experience while limiting any sensitivity.

Who Can Benefit From Teeth Whitening?

Anyone! Many patients can benefit from teeth whitening. Over time, our teeth naturally become darker due to:

  • Drinks known to stain such as coffee, tea and red wine

  • Aging

  • Smoking

In-Office Whitening: What To Expect

The fastest way to achieve the brightest results is in our office. That’s because we are fully qualified to perform the procedure and can safely use the highest amount of bleaching agent. The results are lightning fast results. Better yet? You often achieve your desired level of brightness in just one visit.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits

Patients may opt for Zoom take-home whitening kits, which provide the reliability and effectiveness of professional grade teeth whitening but can be completed at home. This is perfect if you are especially busy and do not want to have to visit our office for your whitening. Because the trays are made specifically for you, they are more precise than over-the-counter whitening kits.

How Does At-Home Whitening Work?

These custom take-home kits offer professional-level whitening with the convenience of home use. We take precise digital impressions of your teeth from which we create custom trays for a perfect, comfortable fit.

You receive professional-strength whitening gel to fill the trays, which you will wear according to our team’s directions. This will typically include a set period each day. Benefits of the at-home trays include:

  • Great for touch-ups and maintenance long-term
  • Personalized and customized
  • More budget-friendly
  • Performed on our own time

Which Whitening Option Is Right For You?

In-office and take-home whitening each have their own advantages. If you have a big event coming up, in-office whitening may be the way to go. If you have more time to achieve your results and want to be able to complete them at home,  then at-home whitening is a great option and is also more affordable.

We often combine both options for our patients. The at-home kits are perfect for touch ups and maintenance after receiving an in-office whitening procedure and can help you maintain a brighter smile for many years to come.

Personalized Teeth Whitening In Henrico, VA

Your smile deserves individualized care, and we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Graham will talk through your goals, explain your options and ensure your whitening treatment reflects your needs. We are also happy to design a combination approach with both in-office and at-home whitening treatment.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

When performed under professional supervision, whitening is considered safe. Your comfort is always a priority. Before treatment, we evaluate the health of your smile and any concerns, such as sensitivity.

How Long Do Results Last?

Teeth whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on your lifestyle and oral health and hygiene habits. To help your results last for as long as possible, try to avoid foods and drinks that are known to stain and make sure to visit our office for professional teeth cleanings every six months. This helps keep your smile bright and healthy!

Purpose. Precision. Quality.
