Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains. At DH Dental & Prosthodontics, we use advanced whitening treatments that break down stains and brighten your smile. We offer both in-office treatments for immediate results and at-home kits for gradual whitening.

Yes, teeth whitening treatments provided at DH Dental & Prosthodontics are safe when performed under professional supervision. We use clinically tested products and techniques to ensure effective whitening while minimizing any potential risks or side effects.

The results of teeth whitening can last from several months to a few years, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits. To maintain your bright smile, we recommend regular dental cleanings and avoiding foods and drinks that cause staining, such as coffee and red wine.

Yes, teeth whitening can be customized to accommodate dental work and sensitive teeth. We assess your dental health and recommend the best approach to ensure optimal results while addressing any concerns. If you have dental work, we’ll ensure the whitening treatment complements your existing restorations.

Yes. Clinical studies have shown that whitening your teeth with carbamide or hydrogen peroxide under the supervision of a dental professional is safe for teeth and gums.

The most common side effect is tooth and gum sensitivity. Your dentist is your best resource to make sure you’re a good candidate for whitening and that you are using the right formula. Philips Zoom take-home whitening products have two mild desensitizing agents, potassium nitrate and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), to help minimize tooth sensitivity. Patients surveyed experienced little to no sensitivity during the WhiteSpeed treatment.

Over-the-counter whitening products are not customized to you. With Philips Zoom, the whitening process is tailored to your needs by your dentist, with custom-fitted trays for take-home treatments or just the right light intensity and duration in the dentist’s office.

Whitening treatments help to reduce existing stains, but through consumption of coffee, soft drinks or just through natural aging, your teeth may eventually become discolored again. Maintenance whitening can help combat recurring discoloration. Only Philips Zoom take-home whitening products include ACP, which has been shown to help reduce repeat discoloration.

There are many causes of tooth discoloration. Some of the most common include the consumption of highly colored foods and drinks (berries, coffee, tea, red wine). Some medications, aging, smoking and trauma can also cause teeth discoloration.

With Zoom take-home whitening treatments, when used as instructed, you will achieve great results within one to two weeks, depending on the concentration and wear time your dentist recommends. With Zoom in-office whitening treatments, teeth can be up to eight shades whiter in 45 minutes.
