Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening
Store whitening strips and over-the-counter kits can remove some surface stains, but they cannot match the effectiveness, safety, or consistency of professional teeth whitening. With supervised treatment and dental-grade materials, you benefit from deeper whitening power and better long-term results.
Patients choose professional whitening for:
Faster shade change in a single visit
Precise application that protects gums and enamel
Customized whitening strength based on your sensitivity and goals
Longer-lasting brightness with proper aftercare
Safer, more even whitening compared to OTC products
Professional whitening is the preferred choice for patients who want predictable results and a noticeable improvement they can enjoy immediately.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration
Several factors contribute to stains on the teeth. Understanding the cause helps determine the best whitening approach and whether alternative cosmetic treatments are needed.
Common sources of staining include:
Coffee, tea, red wine and other dark beverages
Tobacco use
Natural aging and enamel thinning
Certain medications
Infrequent dental cleanings
Dark foods like berries or tomato sauces
Genetics and natural enamel variation
Professional whitening can effectively remove most extrinsic stains and significantly brighten teeth that have darkened over time.
In-Office Whitening With Phillips Zoom
Dr. Streelman uses the Phillips Zoom whitening system, a trusted in-office treatment known for fast, powerful results. Zoom whitening uses a specialized light-activated gel that penetrates surface and deep stains while helping protect enamel.
Benefits of Zoom whitening include:
Teeth are visibly brighter in about 45 minutes
Up to eight shades lighter
Safe for enamel when used under professional supervision
Customizable intensity for patients with sensitivity
Immediate results after one appointment
Each whitening session is tailored to your needs so you receive the best possible shade improvement with minimal sensitivity.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For patients who prefer to whiten at home or maintain results after an in-office treatment, we provide professional-strength take-home whitening trays. These kits offer:
Even whitening with custom-fitted trays
Stronger results than store-bought strips
Controlled whitening that fits your schedule
Reduced sensitivity compared to OTC options
At-home whitening works well for gradual brightening and ongoing maintenance.
What to Expect After Whitening
After your whitening treatment, you will receive instructions to help maintain your results. This includes avoiding heavily pigmented foods and drinks for the first 24 to 48 hours and following Dr. Streelman’s guidance on oral hygiene and touch-up options.
Affordable Whitening Options
Steelman DDS accepts most dental insurance plans for general services and offers no-interest financing for cosmetic treatments, including professional teeth whitening.
