We offer two types of teeth whitening at our Clifton dental office: Philips Zoom! Light-Activated Gel The first professional option is referred to as in-office whitening, and is done with Philips Zoom! This procedure is performed right here in our Clifton dental office, and is extremely safe and comfortable. During an appointment, a member of our dental team will apply the Zoom Chairside Light-Activated Gel to the surface of your teeth. The all-new Whitening LED Accelerator greatly increases and enhances the whitening process and delivers dramatic results you will love. With Philips Zoom in-office whitening, your teeth can become up to eight shades lighter in just 45 minutes! Tray Whitening Tray whitening is a type of professional at-home whitening that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel available only through your Clifton dentist. The whitening gel is placed in custom-fitted trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxyradicals help whiten stained teeth. This process whitens all your natural teeth and may contain ingredients intended to provide maximum comfort. At-home professional tray whitening generally takes ten to 14 days, although you may notice results in as little as three to five days. We include take home trays at no additional cost when in office whitening is done.
