Zoom Teeth Whitening Sandy Springs GA

Teeth Whitening An Overview

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments, providing a quick, painless and economical smile makeover – in about an hour! Teeth whitening is an easy way to restore the confidence and youthfulness of your smile.

At Proud Smiles in Sandy Springs, Dr. Paulen offers three convenient options for teeth whitening: in office Boost teeth whitening, an at home custom bleaching tray kit and KoR intensive at home or in office deep whitening. Each offers results far superior to over the counter options with the added benefit of enamel protection and reduced sensitivity.

Teeth naturally darken with age, but there are common lifestyle factors that can stain and change the color of the teeth over time:

Coffee
Red wine
Soda
Tea
Tobacco use and smoking
Some medications

To maintain the results of your teeth whitening, avoid the use of tobacco, dark foods and dark beverages. Good oral hygiene and the occasional touch up at Proud Smiles can help your treatment to last for a year or more, with KoR deep bleaching providing permanent results with proper maintenance.

In addition, our products are specially formulated to reduce tooth sensitivity, a common side effect of whitening.

In office whitening costs an average of $500 per treatment and at home whitening can range between $250 and $500 depending on the system you choose. Refills for touch up treatment may be an additional cost. Contact our office for more specific details.

Will bleaching cause my teeth to be more sensitive?

One of the more common side effects of teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity. Dr. Paulen carefully supervises teeth whitening treatments to ensure minimal side effects. The products we use are specially formulated to virtually eliminate sensitivity.

How long does whitening last?

The results of teeth whitening will vary based on each individual. Most patients can expect Zoom teeth whitening to last up to a year or more. Touch-up treatment every four to six months can help extend the results of your treatment. Visiting the dentist regularly and avoiding smoking and dark foods will also help to keep your teeth white and bright.
