Professional Teeth Whitening
DR. IGOR OCHEV, SAN RAFAEL DENTIST

“Why should I get professional whitening when I can do it myself at home?”

While DIY over-the-counter whitening kits can be effective, professional whitening offers undeniably better results. Here at EvoSmile, we offer Zoom!® by Philips — the leading brand in professional whitening. Our patients like it because it’s safe, effective, convenient, and very fast. Imagine having dramatically whiter teeth in about an hour.

IN-OFFICE TEETH WHITENING
What to Expect

Keep in mind, whitening only works on your natural enamel. For the best whitening match between your natural teeth and any restoration, Dr. Ochev takes a look at the health of your teeth first. If you need a new restoration or repair (such as a filling or crown), he recommends getting it done after whitening. This way, you give yourself the best chance of a consistent shade that blends in naturally.

Simple and Painless

We begin by isolating your lips and gums. Then we apply the Zoom! whitening gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least 6 to 8 shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. In most cases, teeth get even whiter after the first few days.

Caring for Your Newly Whitened Teeth

While professional teeth whitening can last a very long time, it isn’t permanent. You may need a touch-up especially if you smoke, or drink teeth-staining beverages such as coffee, tea, and wine. With proper care and an occasional touch-up, your whiter smile will sparkle for years.
