Custom Professional Teeth Whitening in Charlotte, NC
Dr. Harlow uses in-office Zoom! teeth whitening and take-home whitening to deliver excellent, reliable results. Zoom! can dramatically enhance your smile’s appearance by removing stains and improving discoloration. It gives a whole new meaning to pearly whites!
In-Office Whitening
Zoom! whitening usually takes an hour in our dental office. We start by applying the prescription-strength whitening gel to your teeth to break down stubborn stains. Next, we use a special light to activate the gel so it can work its magic. Finally, we clean your teeth, and you’re ready to don your new and improved smile. After just one treatment, you’ll notice whiter, brighter teeth! Dr. Harlow also provides a take-home kit to maintain your results or do touch-ups.
At-Home Whitening
Our custom at-home whitening kit allows you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home and at your own pace. Dr. Harlow will provide instructions on safely and effectively using the gel and whitening trays. Patients love using their at-home kit to whiten their smiles before a wedding, reunion, or other events.
Teeth Whitening After Care
Mild sensitivity may occur after teeth whitening, but the sensitivity should subside within a few days. For the first 24 hours after your whitening session, we recommend the following:
- Avoid acidic foods and foods that cause stains, like citrus, tomatoes, coffee, red wine, tea, and dark soda.
- Brush and floss every day, and use anti-sensitivity toothpaste if needed.
- Use at-home trays as directed by your dentist to reduce sensitivity.
- Visit your dentist for routine exams and cleanings to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful.
I Have Sensitive Teeth. Is Teeth Whitening Right for Me?
Dr. Harlow will review your oral health history and examine your smile to determine if teeth whitening is the right treatment. If you have sensitive teeth, our professional whitening is gentle and safe for your smile.
People who use over-the-counter whitening kits often experience tooth sensitivity or gum irritation. Our custom whitening reduces the risk of this occurring, so you can comfortably attain a whiter, brighter smile. The process is pain-free and easy, with Dr. Harlow performing or prescribing your whitening session.
If you experience sensitivity using whitening products, we recommend ceasing the treatment for a few days. You are also welcome to contact our dental office for guidance.
