A brighter smile, on your schedule
Coffee, tea, wine, and time all leave their mark on our teeth. Professional ZOOM! whitening lifts years of stains safely and noticeably, with results that store-bought strips can’t match.
We offer three ways to whiten: in our office in a single visit, at home with custom-fit trays, or a combination of both. Whichever you choose, Dr. Yarmark or Dr. Kessler will make sure your teeth and gums are ready, and that the shade you’re hoping for is realistic.
Three ways to whiten with ZOOM!
Not sure which is right for you? We’ll help you decide at your visit based on your goals, your timeline, and how sensitive your teeth tend to be.
Why professional whitening works better
Over-the-counter strips use low-strength gel and a one-size-fits-all fit, so results are often patchy and slow. Professional ZOOM! gel is stronger, and it’s applied either in our chair or in trays shaped exactly to your teeth, so it reaches every surface evenly.
Before we begin, we check your starting shade with a shade guide so you can see your progress. We also look for anything that should be cared for first, like cavities or gum irritation, so whitening is comfortable and your results look their best.
The result: a noticeably brighter, natural-looking smile, with a plan to keep it that way.
We measure your starting shade so you can see the difference.
Who is a good fit for whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are great candidates. At your visit, we’ll take a look and walk you through what whitening can realistically do for your smile, in plain language.
Whitening may be a great option if:
- Your teeth have yellowed or dulled over time
- You have stains from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking
- Your teeth and gums are healthy, or we can get them there first
- You have an event coming up, or simply want to feel more confident smiling
When another treatment may fit better:
- Your front teeth have crowns, veneers, or large tooth-colored fillings (these don’t change color with whitening)
- You have deep discoloration from medication, injury, or a tooth that has darkened on its own
- You’re pregnant or nursing (we recommend waiting)
If that’s the case, you still have beautiful options. Whitening can also be the first step of a bigger smile makeover. Learn about veneers.
Aftercare is simple: for the first 48 hours, go easy on coffee, tea, red wine, and other dark foods and drinks while your new shade settles in.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Which option should I choose?
If you want results fast, in-office ZOOM! is the quickest path. If you prefer to whiten gradually at home, ZOOM! Delivered is a great fit. If you want both a big first result and an easy way to maintain it, the combo is our best value.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some people feel mild, temporary sensitivity during or shortly after whitening. It usually fades within a day or two. If your teeth tend to be sensitive, let us know and we’ll tailor your plan to keep you comfortable.
How long do results last?
Results can last for years, but everyday foods and drinks slowly bring stains back. That’s why we love the combo: your custom trays make it easy to touch up at home whenever you notice your shade fading.
How does ZOOM! Delivered work?
We take a quick scan of your teeth at our office to make your custom trays. Your trays and six syringes of ZOOM! NiteWhite gel are then sent directly to your home, along with simple instructions on how long to wear them.
Will whitening work on my crowns or veneers?
No. Whitening only lightens natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or tooth-colored fillings in your smile, we’ll plan around them so everything blends, or talk through options to update them.
Is professional whitening better than strips?
Yes, for most people. Professional gel is stronger, custom trays fit your teeth exactly, and your dentist keeps an eye on your gums and comfort. That means more even results, often in less time.
