Why Whiten. . .

A whiter, brighter smile improves your appearance and self confidence. Discolored, stained teeth are the result of lifestyle choices (such as drinking coffee, tea, cola, wine, or smoking) and the natural aging process. Whitening services and products provided by Southern Heights Dental professionals are extremely safe and are the most effective way to whiten your smile.

In-Office Zoom! Chairside is a 1-hour service available for patients who desire convenience, immediate results and a long-lasting outcome. Zoom! Chairside whitens your teeth 8-10 shades in a simple, one hour visit to our Faribault, Minnesota office.

The Process:

A whitening gel is placed on the teeth. The surrounding tissues are covered for protection. After the whitening gel is put on, an ultra-violet light is applied to your teeth in 3-4 fifteen minute sessions. The structure of the tooth is unchanged as the light-activated whitening gel bleaches any colored substance from the teeth. And for whitening maintenance, custom take-home trays and whitening gel are also provided with your service.

Home Whitening

Southern Heights Dental also offers Zoom 3- day Turbo and Zoom! 3 week Nite White for those patients interested in at-home, self-applied bleaching. With both of these systems, patients receive whitening gels and custom made trays.

The Process:

An impression is taken and then special mouth trays are made. These trays are used to hold the bleaching gel against the teeth. You apply the whitening gel to the custom trays and wear the trays for either a 3 day or 3 week period, depending on your chosen option. Once teeth reach the brightness desired, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

Professional Strength Products

A third option provided by Southern Heights Dental is Professional Strength Products.

Not sold in stores, our Crest Professional Strength Whitening Strips contain a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products. A professional strength whitening toothpaste is also available.

Dental whitening can be used to correct many tooth discolorations and is an extremely safe process. With any bleaching procedure, some patients may experience mild tooth sensitivity for a few days. Whitening services are not intended for caps, artificial teeth, bridges, crowns, fillings or veneers. Ask your dentist or hygienist which option is right for you and schedule an appointment today.
