Whitening
A quick, easy, effective way to
give yourself a glamorous smile.
It can boost your self-esteem,
reduce the signs of aging, and
is non-invasive. There are many
different options available to
accommodate your desires. One of
the most popular is the laser
treatment. The doctor will apply
RX strength hydrogen peroxide to
the teeth and glaze over with a
laser. It typically takes an
hour to complete and the results
can last up to a year or more.
Whiter, Brighter & Better
Looking
According to the American
Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry,
whitening is the most requested
cosmetic dental procedure in the
United States. Dr. Shekib
estimates that 90% of his
patients express interest in
having a whiter,
healthier-looking smile.
ZOOM!™ one-hour laser whitening
gained popularity on ABC’s
Extreme Makeover. Patients often
request ZOOM!™ because they are
ready for a dramatic change in
tooth color and want quick
results. The ZOOM!™ process
takes about an hour and whitens
teeth up to eight shades. Some
patients experience increased
sensitivity immediately
following ZOOM!™ treatment but
this symptom typically
dissipates after a day or two
and your smile will remain white
and bright.
If you prefer whitening over
time, Dr. Shekib recommends a
professional, take-home gel and
tray system. Most take-home
system users notice a difference
after just 2-3 treatment
sessions.
With simple maintenance, your
whitening results are long
lasting. Dr. Sean Shekib and the
his team welcome any questions
you may have about whitening.
“We work with every patient
individually,” says Dr. S.
Shekib. “We want to make sure
someone is a good candidate for
whitening based on dental health
and medical history. Then we
work with each patient to
identify their whitening needs.”
“We want our patients to have
beautiful, healthy, whiter
smiles,” says Dr. Shekib.
