Teeth Whitening

Looking to dramatically brighten your smile? Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest, most effective, and most affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments available to enhance your appearance. At Synergy Dental, Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum—voted the Best Cosmetic Dentist in the 2023 Best of London Awards—offers premium teeth whitening systems to remove stubborn stains and restore a youthful, radiant gleam to your teeth.

Over time, dark-colored foods, everyday beverages (like coffee, tea, and red wine), tobacco use, and certain medications can deeply discolor your enamel. In some cases, yellowing or graying stems from within the tooth structure due to past trauma, nerve damage, or medical factors. Our professional whitening treatments are customized to target both surface stains and deep discoloration safely and predictably.

In-Office Teeth Whitening with Zoom!® in London, ON

For individuals seeking immediate, dramatic results, we feature the clinical-grade Zoom!® Whitening System. As one of the most trusted and highly requested professional whitening treatments available in cosmetic dentistry, it can safely lighten your enamel by up to 8 shades in just about a single hour.

How the Zoom!® System Works:

• Advanced Tissue Protection: Before beginning, we carefully mask and isolate your gums, lips, and delicate oral soft tissues to prevent irritation from the whitening agent.
• LED Light Activation: We apply a proprietary, high-strength hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, which is then activated using a specialized blue LED light to break apart deep stains.
• Rapid Sessions: The process consists of targeted 15-minute intervals, typically repeated 2 to 3 times during your single office visit. A fourth application can be safely added for maximum brightness if required.

Even older dental restorations like porcelain crowns or veneers can see aesthetic improvements if they have become slightly porous or stained over the years. We continue to see exceptional, life-changing transformations among our London, Ontario cosmetic patients.

Professional Take-Home Whitening Kits

If you prefer the flexibility of brightening your smile from the comfort of home, we custom-craft professional take-home whitening kits. Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, we take a precise physical or digital impression of your mouth to manufacture custom-fit whitening trays that align perfectly with your teeth.

By wearing these custom trays with our specialized whitening gel for a short period daily, you can achieve noticeable, professional-grade results in just 5 to 10 days. This is an excellent path if you prioritize convenience or prefer a more gradual whitening progression.

Maintaining and Touching Up Your Results

While a professional treatment gives your smile an incredible aesthetic boost, your teeth can gradually accumulate new stains over time from lifestyle habits. To prolong your bright results, your teeth start from a significantly higher, whiter baseline. We also offer convenient touch-up options on-site, including:

• Zoom Whitening Pens for convenient, on-the-go touch-ups.
• Zoom DayWhite formula.
• Zoom NightWhite with ACP (Amorphous Calcium Phosphate), which actively rebuilds tooth enamel, significantly reduces post-treatment sensitivity, and protects against future stains.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes. When supervised by a licensed dental professional, teeth whitening is highly safe and completely non-invasive. Our clinical formulations utilize hydrogen peroxide-based gels that have been thoroughly tested to ensure they do not harm or wear down your natural tooth enamel when applied correctly.

While some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or immediately following the procedure, our premium Zoom!® gel features built-in desensitizing agents. Our clinical team takes meticulous, proactive steps to protect any areas of exposed root surfaces or gum recession.

The Risks of Over-the-Counter & Spa-Based Products

Many store-bought whitening strips, abrasive toothpastes, or charcoal kits fail to deliver satisfying results. These commercial products often:

• Possess significantly lower whitening strengths, prolonging your treatment time.
• Utilize generic trays that do not fit your dental arch, allowing gel to leak onto your gums and cause painful chemical burns.
• Contain highly abrasive agents that can permanently wear away your enamel.
• Lead to highly uneven, splotchy results and heightened tooth nerve sensitivity.

Similarly, kiosk or beauty spa whitening services are unregulated and frequently utilize questionable bleaching products. True clinical-grade Zoom!® systems are legally available exclusively through licensed dental practices like ours.

What to Expect at Your Zoom!® Appointment

Step 1: Comprehensive Aesthetic Consultation

Before initiating any bleaching treatment, Dr. Octavian Tetelbaum performs a thorough pre-whitening assessment (included in your Zoom!® treatment price) to evaluate:

• Recent Hygiene Cleanings: Whitening gel cannot penetrate plaque or tartar buildup; a clean tooth surface yields the most uniform results.
• Existing Dental Restorations: Tooth-colored fillings, ceramic crowns, and porcelain veneers will not change color with whitening gel. We plan around these variables to ensure a flawless blend.
• Structural Vulnerabilities: We look for active gum recession or hidden cavities that could elevate sensitivity if exposed to the gel.

Step 2: Professional Hygiene Cleaning (Recommended)

If it has been more than a few months since your last professional scaling and polish, we highly recommend booking a routine cleaning prior to your whitening session. Removing external buildup ensures the specialized LED gel interacts seamlessly with your natural enamel.
