TEETH WHITENING

​

Philadelphia Dental is performing professional teeth whitening options to suit your needs, regardless if you need routine cleaning or a brighter smile.

 

How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

​​

When a dentist provides professional teeth whitening, they use a high-concentration bleaching agent, often enhanced with light or laser to accelerate the process. The treatment usually takes about one visit for in-office whitening like Zoom Whitening, which can lighten teeth by several shades in just an hour. Alternatively, take-home kits may be provided for gradual whitening.

​

In-Office Professional Whitening

​​

Our in-office professional cleaning is more effective because under dentist careful supervision a higher concentration of bleaching agents may be used thus achieving faster or more pronounced whitening.

​

Take-Home Whitening Kits

​

We offer take-home whitening kits that include custom trays and professional-grade whitening gel. You can achieve noticeable results over time in the comfort of your home by wearing the trays as directed.

​

Zoom Whitening

 

For fast, dramatic results, our Zoom Whitening treatment is a popular in-office option. Using a special light-activated gel, Zoom can whiten your teeth by several shades in just one visit, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or those wanting immediate results.

​

Is Teeth Whitening Safe For Enamel?

​

The professional bleaching agents used in teeth whitening treatments, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, are safe when applied by a dentist. They are carefully controlled to prevent harm to your teeth and gums. While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, the enamel is not damaged in the process. Dentists use protective measures such as gels or shields to minimize discomfort and ensure the procedure is both safe and effective.
