Philips Zoom! Whitening

Conducted in Our New Haven Office

It's easy to get visibly whiter teeth with Philips Zoom!® whitening gel. In fact, our dentist can perform this treatment in under an hour, which is far quicker than the at-home bleaching process.

Depending on the type you receive, we can also bolster your results by using both whitening gel and effective LED light.

Opalescence™ Whitening

Conducted at Home

Have certain restrictions? Opalescence's™ whitening gel is gluten-free, kosher, and vegan, so you can feel good about the ingredients used to give you a beautiful smile.

Opalescence also directly addresses concerns of usage time, tooth sensitivity, and effectiveness by featuring five different formulas.

The Advantages of At-Home Whitening
From Opalescence

At-home teeth whitening is typically best
for patients with:

• Dedication to Results

  At-home whitening puts you directly in charge of your treatment. You'll need to wear your trays as directed. If you have trouble remembering to conduct your treatment, it may be much easier for you to attend a simple brightening appointment.

• Busy Schedules

  As adults, there's always something on the agenda for us to deal with. Luckily, even if your schedule is packed, you can easily factor teeth whitening into your day. Simply put in your trays when you can, take them out, and enjoy results in just a few weeks.

• Tooth Sensitivity

  If your teeth are commonly affected by sensations like temperature, you may want to whiten them with a formula that uses lower levels of hydrogen peroxide. At-home whitening is less concentrated, so it fits the bill perfectly for patients with tooth sensitivity.

The Advantages of In-Office Whitening
From Zoom!

​If you're considering Philips Zoom in-office teeth whitening, it's a great option for patients wanting:

• Faster Results

  At-home kits have a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide, which means that they take longer to work. By conducting in-office bleaching, though, Dr. Lerch is able to use a more powerful formulation of hydrogen peroxide, transforming your teeth in as little as one visit.

• Brighter Smiles

  Another benefit of choosing to whiten your teeth with a more concentrated hydrogen peroxide formula is the intensity. That means they will be noticeably brighter compared to results from whitening gel, whitening toothpaste, and other at-home whitening products.

• Dentist Directed Care

  During your in-office whitening treatment, our dentist's sole focus will be on you. Whether you have questions or you simply want the peace of mind that comes with having Dr. Lerch's help at your disposal, in-office bleaching is well worth it.
