Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening in London, ON

Looking to brighten your smile? Teeth whitening is one of the quickest, most affordable ways to improve the appearance of your teeth. Over time, food, drinks (like coffee and red wine), smoking, and certain medications can stain your teeth. In some cases, discoloration may come from within the tooth due to trauma, nerve damage, or medical issues.

At Synergy Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening options to help restore your smile. Whether you prefer in-office treatment or a take-home solution, we can help you choose what’s best for your needs.

In-Office Teeth Whitening with Zoom!®

We use the Zoom!® Whitening System, one of the most effective professional whitening treatments available. It can whiten your teeth by up to 8 shades in just one visit (about an hour).

How it works:

• We carefully protect your gums, lips, and soft tissues before applying the Zoom!® whitening gel.
• The gel is activated with a special blue LED light.
• The process includes 15-minute sessions, usually repeated 2–3 times in a single visit. A fourth application may be done if needed.

Even older crowns or veneers can have benefits, especially if they’ve become more porous over time. We’ve seen excellent results in our London, Ontario patients.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

Prefer to whiten your teeth at home? We also offer professional take-home kits with custom trays that fit your mouth perfectly. Just wear the trays with the whitening gel daily, and you can expect noticeable results in 5 to 10 days.

This is a great option if you want flexibility and are okay with slower results.

How Long Do Whitening Results Last?

Zoom!® whitening can give you a great boost, but your teeth may gradually stain again over time, especially with habits like drinking coffee, tea, or wine. The good news? After Zoom!®, your teeth start from a brighter base, so they’ll stay whiter longer.

We also offer touch-up options, including:

• Zoom Whitening Pens
• Zoom DayWhite
• Zoom NightWhite with ACP (which helps reduce future stains and sensitivity)

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes, when done by a dental professional, teeth whitening is very safe. We use hydrogen peroxide-based gel, which has been shown to be effective and safe for tooth enamel when applied correctly.

Some people may experience temporary sensitivity, especially during or right after the procedure. Our Zoom!® gel includes built-in desensitizing agents, and we take extra steps to protect sensitive areas.

What About Store-Bought Whitening Products?

Many over-the-counter products don’t deliver the same results. They:

• Have lower whitening strength
• Don’t fit your teeth properly
• Can cause enamel wear if too abrasive
• Often lead to uneven whitening and more sensitivity

Similarly, spa-based whitening services are not regulated and may use questionable products. That’s why Zoom!® is only available through licensed dental offices like ours.

What to Expect: Your Zoom!® Appointment

Step 1: Consultation

Before we begin, we’ll assess:

• Your recent dental cleanings (clean teeth respond best to whitening)
• If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings (these won’t whiten)
• If you have gum recession (which may increase sensitivity)
• Your medications (some may interfere with treatment)

This consultation is included in the Zoom!® price.

Step 2: Optional Cleaning

If it’s been a while since your last dental cleaning, we strongly recommend having one first. Whitening gel can't work properly on plaque-covered teeth.
