Professional Teeth Whitening
Zoom!® in-office whitening is designed for patients who want noticeable whitening in a single appointment. The professional treatment is performed in our office, allowing you to leave with a visibly brighter smile. Philips reports that its Zoom! in-office system can whiten teeth by up to eight shades in one visit under its specified treatment conditions.
For patients who prefer to whiten at home, Zoom! take-home trays provide a convenient alternative. Professional take-home whitening uses dentist-provided whitening gel and custom trays, allowing you to follow a treatment schedule at home. Philips offers formulas designed for daytime or nighttime use, with treatment times that can range from about 30 minutes per day to overnight, depending on the product selected.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-designed coverings placed over the visible surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. They may be considered for teeth with certain cosmetic concerns, including discoloration, chips, uneven shapes, or minor imperfections. Veneers are designed as part of an individualized treatment plan so your new smile complements your facial features and existing teeth.
Because every smile is different, a consultation is an important first step before choosing veneers. Our Farmington dental team can evaluate your oral health, discuss your concerns, review your goals, and determine whether veneers or another cosmetic treatment may be the right option.
Why Schedule a Cosmetic Consultation?
There is no single cosmetic treatment that works the same way for every patient. During a one-on-one cosmetic consultation, we can discuss the changes you would like to make and develop a plan based on your smile, oral health, and desired results. We can also help you understand what whitening, veneers, or orthodontics can and cannot change before you begin treatment.
If you are considering cosmetic dentistry in Farmington, schedule a consultation with our dental team. We can help you explore your options and create a personalized approach to achieving a smile you feel confident sharing!
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Zoom! teeth whitening take?
Zoom! in-office whitening is designed to provide whitening during one visit. Take-home whitening takes longer because treatment is completed over multiple days according to your dentist’s instructions.
Are porcelain veneers permanent?
Porcelain veneers are often considered permanent because of the enamel removal and reshaping that typically occurs before a veneer can be placed. However, veneers usually have to be replaced many years down the road due to natural wear and tear.
Can veneers whiten my teeth?
Veneers can be made in a desired shade, but they do not whiten after placement. If you are considering both veneers and teeth whitening, your Farmington dentist can help determine the appropriate order of treatment.
Am I a candidate for cosmetic dentistry?
Many patients can benefit from cosmetic dental treatments, but candidacy ultimately depends on individual oral health and goals. A cosmetic consultation allows our team to evaluate your smile and recommend appropriate options.
