Three types of teeth whitening procedures are available to dentists today. Traditional at-home teeth whitening, in-office laser whitening, and Zoom halogen whitening (as seen on ABC’s Extreme Makeover”). Dr. Rivas offers all three. Each system is an effective way to get whiter teeth, but not every system is right for everyone. For those patients who need immediate results or those who have trouble using the tray system, Laser Smile whitening and Zoom whitening give immediate results, but both require more maintenance and cost significantly more than at-home trays. At home whitening with trays is less expensive, and tends to last longer, but requires more initial time and effort. So to be sure which type of teeth whitening procedure is best for you, please call and schedule an appointment for an evaluation.
