Tooth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening to brighten your smile safely and effectively. We offer custom tray bleaching and Zoom in-office whitening with lasting results.

Your smile is important. It's one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful—it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.

Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola, and red wine, or smoking.

Whitening can get your smile looking its best. Non-professional procedures and clinically unproven teeth whitening can often lead to unsatisfactory results, increased sensitivity, and uneven color.

Professional Whitening Options

At Somerset Family Dentistry, we offer our patients two convenient ways to whiten their teeth professionally:

Tray Bleaching

The at-home convenience of bleaching with custom-made trays that ensure safe, effective results. Your trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, delivering consistent whitening gel coverage while protecting your gums. We also offer a Whitening for Life program to help you maintain your bright smile over time.

Zoom Tooth Whitening

As seen on Extreme Makeover, this professional in-office bleaching product gives you the convenience of light-assisted tooth whitening in a single visit. You'll leave with a noticeably brighter smile, plus free custom trays for at-home maintenance to keep your results looking their best.

Both options are performed under the supervision of our dental professionals to ensure your safety, comfort, and the beautiful results you deserve.

How it works

Consultation

We'll examine your teeth, discuss your whitening goals, and recommend the best option—custom tray bleaching for at-home convenience or Zoom for immediate in-office results.

Treatment

For tray bleaching, we create custom trays and provide professional-grade whitening gel to use at home. For Zoom, we apply the whitening gel and use a special light to activate it during your appointment.

Maintenance

We provide guidance on maintaining your results and offer custom trays for touch-ups. Ask about our Whitening for Life program to keep your smile bright for years to come.

Common questions

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?+

Some patients experience mild sensitivity during or after whitening, but we use low-sensitivity formulas and can adjust treatment if needed. Any sensitivity is typically temporary and resolves within a day or two.

How long do whitening results last?+

Results vary depending on your habits and oral care, but most patients enjoy their brighter smile for one to three years. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, not smoking, and using maintenance trays for occasional touch-ups will help your results last longer.

What is the Whitening for Life program?+

Our Whitening for Life program helps you maintain your bright smile over time with periodic touch-up gel provided at your regular cleaning appointments. Ask our team for details about enrollment and benefits.
