Zoom! Whitening is a great alternative to the tray whitening system, and it is performed in our office by Dr. Eddleman and our team. Zoom! Whitening is a quick and effective bleaching process that lightens discolored teeth.

How Does Zoom! Whitening Work?

  • The gel is applied in four 15 minute sessions with the options of high, medium, or low intensity settings.
  • The treatment only takes about one and a half hours total.

  • After, your smile will be many shades whiter. Zoom! Whitening is a great option if you want to have an immediately brighter, whiter smile!
