Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is one way to bring back your healthy looking smile if your teeth have become stained from smoking, drinking coffee or simply because you're older. Calculus and tarter build-up and some medications can also darken your teeth.
Very few people have brilliant white smiles, so even subtle changes in shading can make you look years younger.
McDonald Family Dentistry offers two professional whitening systems to brighten your smile: ZOOM 2 In-office Whitening System and at-home custom designed whitening systems.

Zoom 2 In-Office Whitening System is the system seen on ABC's Extreme Makeover television show. It uses an advanced gel that whitens teeth in about an hour with 67 percent less tooth sensitivyt than other similar systems. You can learn more with an in-office consultation or by visiting www.zoomnow.com.

Take-home Whitening with Custom Designed Trays is another option. It's a home bleaching system that produces results in two to six weeks. An advantage with this system is that you can do booster whitening as your teeth may change in the future because of diet, smoking, etc.

Talk with Dr McDonald to find out which option is right for you. Some patients benefit most from both Zoom 2 and at-home whitening systems.
