Teeth whitening treatments not only improve the aesthetics of the smile but also help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums. When patients receive great results using Zoom!, they are more motivated to maintain their new smiles.

Causes of Discolored Teeth
There are several common causes of tooth discoloration, including:
- Foods and Beverages: Certain foods and beverages, including wine, berries, tea, coffee, and tomatoes contain chromogens. Chromogens are strongly pigmented molecules that attach to the tooth enamel. Sometimes simple brushing and flossing cannot remove these pigments from the teeth.
- Nicotine: Tobacco products that contain nicotine easily yellow the tooth enamel. Smoking cigarettes, vaping, and using other tobacco products can make the teeth appear discolored.
- Dental Injuries: Chipped, cracked, or otherwise broken teeth can darken teeth. Breaks in the tooth enamel expose dentin, the dark underlayer. The best way to treat discoloration from dental injuries is porcelain veneers or dental bonding treatment. Dentin does not react to whitening treatments.
Contact our office and we will help you find the best whitening treatment for your tooth stains. We work with our patients to customize whitening solutions to their smiles.
In-Office Teeth Whitening in Broomall, PA
With Zoom! teeth whitening, our patients can receive a brighter smile in just under one hour. To begin, we use a shade guide to determine the current color of your teeth and find your shade goal. Then, we place a guard to protect your lips, cheek, and tongue. This isolates the teeth. We gently apply the whitening gel to the teeth. For 15 minutes, we place a special light near the mouth. This light activates the whitening ingredient in the gel. We repeat this process two to three times until we achieve the desired shade.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening in Broomall, PA
For patients who want the convenience of whitening their smile at home, we provide whitening kits. These kits are a more economical alternative to in-office care. To create your custom kits, we need to take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to create lightweight whitening trays. Once the trays are complete, we will provide you with your trays, whitening gel, and instructions. During treatment, you will apply the gel to the tray and wear them 40 minutes per day for 8 to 10 days. Patients can also touch up their in-office treatment with whitening trays.
