What options are available for whitening the smile?

If you have noticed discoloration and staining of the teeth due to habits such as coffee drinking or due to the natural process of aging, you may not be sure of the solutions available to you to enhance the smile’s appearance. Many patients will utilize products available over-the-counter at their local drugstore in the oral care aisle. This includes whitening toothpastes or strips. However, these often fail to provide the dramatic changes patients truly desire, which is why the team at Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown is happy to offer professional-grade alternatives to brighten the teeth.

What professional whitening options are available for enhancing the smile?

Drs. Mark Duncan and Mandy Holley of Aesthetic Dentistry of Georgetown are committed to offering patients solutions that truly work. Brightening the smile is easy with either of our offerings, including our in-office power bleaching system and our custom tray whitening kits.

• In-office procedure. The Zoom! professional tooth whitening system is our in-office whitening treatment of choice. The Zoom! system uses light-activated whitening gels to brighten teeth up to eight shades brighter in a single visit. Patients relax in the treatment chair while the team prepares the smile and administers the light to lift and erase stains from the natural tooth enamel.
• Take-home kits. Alternatively, some patients seek treatment in the privacy of their own home and can ask about our customized whitening kits. Using the KoR whitening system, patients can brighten their teeth just as much as our in-office treatment but over the course of several weeks with daily use. The trays for the KoR whitening system are fabricated using impressions of the patient’s smile to ensure proper fit and function. Patients might also consider our take-home kit after Zoom! whitening to maintain their results.
