Teeth Whitening in Chicago, IL

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Over time, enamel can absorb pigments from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other sources, leading to discoloration that brushing alone can’t remove. Professional whitening treatments use clinically tested formulas that lift stains deep below the surface while keeping your enamel healthy.

Benefits of professional whitening include:

• Safe, dentist-supervised application
• Fast and noticeable results
• Even, consistent color improvement
• Reduced tooth and gum sensitivity compared to over-the-counter kits
• Long-lasting brightness with proper care

Our whitening treatments are customized to your needs and lifestyle, whether you want a quick touch-up before an event or a dramatic transformation.

Zoom Teeth Whitening

For patients seeking immediate results, Zoom Teeth Whitening provides a brighter smile in a single visit. Using a powerful light-activated gel, this in-office treatment can whiten teeth by several shades in just one appointment.

The process typically includes:

1. Protecting the gums and soft tissues
2. Applying a professional-grade whitening gel to the teeth
3. Activating the gel with the Zoom LED light to break down deep stains
4. Repeating the process in short intervals until the desired shade is reached

Results are visible right away, and with good oral hygiene, they can last for many months. For those using Invisalign or retainers, we can ensure whitening integrates safely into your existing dental plan.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you prefer whitening your teeth on your own schedule, our Take-Home Whitening Kits offer professional-grade results with the convenience of at-home care. We create custom-fitted trays using digital impressions for even coverage and maximum comfort.

How it works:

• You’ll receive custom whitening trays and a supply of professional-strength gel
• Apply the gel and wear the trays for the recommended time each day
• See gradual whitening over one to two weeks

Our at-home kits produce longer-lasting results than store-bought options and are ideal for maintenance between in-office treatments.

Caring for Your Whitened Smile

After whitening, it’s important to maintain your results with consistent oral care and routine dental visits. To preserve your bright smile:

• Brush and floss daily using non-abrasive toothpaste
• Limit dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine
• Avoid smoking or tobacco products
• Schedule regular dental cleanings and exams
• Consider periodic touch-up whitening treatments

We also recommend checking your retainers periodically. If your trays become discolored or damaged after whitening, our office offers retainer repair and replacement to ensure they fit properly and stay fresh.
