A Brighter, More Confident Smile Starts Here

Professional Zoom! Whitening Customized for Your Smile
At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we offer professional-grade Zoom! whitening that delivers results no over-the-counter product can match. Whether you choose in-office treatment or a custom take-home kit, our team creates a whitening plan tailored to your goals, sensitivity level, and budget.

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening uses medical-grade bleaching agents to remove deep stains and discoloration that regular brushing and store-bought products can't reach. At Arvada Dental Center & Implants, we use Zoom! whitening technology, one of the most trusted and effective systems available.

In-office Zoom! treatment can brighten your teeth up to 8 shades in about one hour. The process is safe, supervised by our dental team, and customized to minimize sensitivity.
We also offer custom take-home whitening kits with professional-strength gel and trays molded to your exact teeth. These deliver gradual, even results at your own pace and are far more effective than anything you'll find at a drugstore.

Both options use higher-concentration whitening agents than store-bought products, delivering faster, longer-lasting results with fewer side effects when used as directed.

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

  • Customized to Your Smile: We tailor the whitening strength and duration to your sensitivity level and shade goals.

  • Supervised by Dental Professionals: Our team monitors the process to ensure safe, even results without damaging enamel.

  • No Messy Strips or Trays: Custom-fitted trays and professional application prevent gel from irritating gums and tissue.

Whether you have a special event coming up or simply want a fresher, more youthful smile, professional whitening is the fastest way to transform your appearance.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?

Professional teeth whitening works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums who want to remove staining or discoloration from natural enamel. Good candidates include patients with yellow or brown staining from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or aging. Whitening is safe for most adults and delivers predictable, dramatic results when performed professionally.
Whitening may not be ideal if you have significant tooth sensitivity, untreated decay, gum disease, or extensive dental restorations on your front teeth. Crowns, veneers, and bonding do not respond to whitening agents. We'll evaluate your oral health during your consultation and let you know exactly what results you can realistically expect before you commit to treatment.

What Teeth Whitening Can Correct

Professional whitening effectively targets a wide range of common tooth discoloration causes.
  • Coffee and Tea Stains: Remove years of daily beverage staining for a dramatically fresher appearance.

  • Wine and Tobacco Discoloration: Lift deep-set stains from red wine, smoking, or tobacco use.

  • Age-Related Yellowing: Restore the bright, youthful color that naturally fades as enamel thins over time.

  • Surface Stains from Food: Eliminate discoloration from berries, tomato sauce, and other pigmented foods.

  • General Dullness: Refresh teeth that have lost their natural brightness over time.

Note: Whitening works on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, and bonding will not respond to whitening agents. We'll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.

What to Expect: The Zoom! Whitening Process

1

Consultation

We examine your teeth and gums, discuss your shade goals, and confirm whitening is appropriate for your situation. We'll recommend in-office or take-home based on your needs.
2

Pre-Treatment Cleaning

For best results, we recommend a professional cleaning before whitening. This removes surface debris and ensures the whitening gel contacts your enamel evenly.
3

Gum Protection

We apply a protective barrier to your gums and soft tissue before applying the whitening gel. This prevents irritation and ensures the gel works only on your teeth.
4

Gel Application

We apply professional-strength Zoom! whitening gel to your teeth. For in-office treatment, we activate the gel with a specialized LED light in 15-minute intervals.
5

Multiple Rounds

In-office treatment consists of three to four 15-minute whitening rounds. Between rounds, we reapply fresh gel for maximum effectiveness and monitor your comfort throughout.
6

Final Shade Assessment

After treatment, we compare your new shade against your starting point. Most patients achieve 6 to 8 shades brighter in one visit. We provide aftercare instructions and a touch-up kit.
