Tooth whitening involves the placement of a whitening solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth – much like a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.

Whitening is a safe, effective and a relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.

Two whitening methods are available at Warren M Krutchick DDS: Zoom Whitening, done at our office, and At-Home-Whitening, which provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter whitening products available in local West Seneca area drug stores).

The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective results.  Zoom whitening  takes just over an hour in our office to complete and custom made take home whitening trays with a tube of whitening gel are given to further enhance or maintain the Zoom whitening, while home whitening may take up to four weeks of regular use.

Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are whitened.

Please don’t hesitate to call Warren M Krutchick DDS at (866) 901-9477 with any questions you may have about the benefits of tooth whitening for a whiter smile.
