Teeth Whitening

Overtime, our teeth begin to dull, even with regular brushing and flossing. Modern teeth whitening options can give you back the bright, radiant smile you desire. If you want to whiten at your leisure, at-home or tray whitening kits work well, and they allow you to control the level of brightness, slowly restoring your youthful glow. For those who want faster results, the Zoom teeth whitening procedure provides a quick, in-office treatment that can lighten your teeth up to 10 shades and give you a more confident smile. Dr. Michael Kosdon offers both in-office and take-home options for patients at our Manhattan and New York City-area practice.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

The initial visit to our practice begins with a tour of our office and a personal discussion with Dr. Kosdon. At this consultation, Dr. Kosdon will listen to your objectives, address any questions, and discuss any concerns that you may have. Following a complete evaluation, Dr. Kosdon will take an impression of your teeth for the custom whitening trays if you select at-home teeth whitening to brighten your smile. Once the dental lab generates the custom teeth whitening trays, Dr. Kosdon will provide detailed instructions and give you a demonstration on how to use the whitening gel and trays at home. Follow these tips and prepare to enjoy a white, vibrant smile. With at-home whitening, not only allow can you whiten teeth on your own time table, but you also have the flexibility of whitening until you reach the perfect shade. Even though at-home whitening produces long-lasting results, keep your trays handy for occasional touch ups.    

The Zoom Teeth Whitening Procedure

What we eat, the habits we have, and the natural aging process can all contribute to discoloration of our teeth. If coffee drinking, tobacco use, or other factors have lessened your smile’s brilliance, Zoom teeth whitening treatment can improve the yellowing and stains, revealing a brighter, whiter smile. With  Zoom teeth whitening, the process begins in a similar fashion as with tray whitening, including a detailed exam and an extensive conversation  with Dr. Kosdon about your preferences and options.  The first step of in-office Zoom whitening starts with covering the gums and lips; then, we will apply the a layer of whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. To activate the bleaching solution, Dr. Kosdon will shine a low-intensity light over the teeth. Through this process, oxygen effectively lightens the enamel and dentin, causing the teeth to turn brighter.

In just one quick office visit, Zoom teeth whitening can whiten teeth six to ten shades or more. Usually, the entire process takes about an hour, and you can dazzle friends and family with your gorgeous smile immediately after the procedure.
