ZOOM® Teeth Whitening

A brighter smile can make you feel more confident when you smile, speak, or take photos. Over time, teeth can become darker or develop stains from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, aging, and other everyday factors.

‍

At MacArthur Dental Arts in Irvine, CA, we offer both in-office ZOOM® whitening and customized take-home whitening trays, so you can choose the approach that best fits your goals and lifestyle.

‍

In-Office ZOOM® Whitening

‍

Our in-office treatment uses ZOOM® technology to brighten the appearance of your teeth during a professionally supervised appointment. A specially formulated whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a specialized light across multiple treatment intervals, allowing the gel to work progressively throughout your visit.

‍

• Performed under the supervision of your dental team
• Convenient for an upcoming event, wedding, or photo session
• Customized to your current tooth color and desired results
• A noninvasive treatment that improves color without changing tooth structure

‍

Take-Home Whitening

‍

If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we can provide custom-fitted trays along with professional whitening gel and instructions for use. Take-home whitening is especially convenient if you'd rather whiten gradually, and the trays can also be used later to maintain your results after in-office treatment.

‍

What to Expect Before Whitening

‍

Before treatment, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to confirm that whitening is appropriate and address any existing dental concerns first. Keep in mind that whitening works on natural tooth structure only, existing fillings, crowns, and veneers will not change color, so we'll discuss how this may affect your overall results if you have visible restorations.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍

How quickly can professional teeth whitening work?

‍

In-office ZOOM® whitening is designed to brighten your smile during a single appointment, though the amount of whitening achieved varies by individual.

‍

Is professional whitening better than over-the-counter products?

‍

Professional whitening is performed or prescribed under dental guidance and can be customized to your needs, unlike generic store-bought kits.

‍

Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?

‍

Some people experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening. Your dentist can offer recommendations based on your teeth and sensitivity history.

‍

How long do teeth whitening results last?

‍

Results are not permanent and can gradually fade as you're exposed to staining foods and drinks. Good oral care and touch-up treatments can help maintain a brighter smile.
