How Can a Fresno-Madera County Resident Whiten a Smile?

Your high school reunion is coming up and you want your smile to be its brightest. Or maybe you have an important speaking engagement? Whatever the reason, tooth whitening isn’t just for movie star celebrities, and it isn’t just a temporary fad. Many people have had their teeth whitened or “bleached”, and probably hundreds more are thinking about doing it. Tooth whitening safely lightens the color of your teeth lasting for up to 5 years(depending on if you smoke, drink double espressos, etc). Many people feeling much more confident about themselves when their smile is no longer a source.

We are pleased to offer and in-office “power” whitening procedure, called Zoom!. You may have seen this system used on the TV show “Extreme Makeover”. Dr. Lee believes this system safely and effectively “jumpstarts” your whitening process. This greatly reduces the frequency you may need to wear custom made whitening or bleaching trays maintain Your new shade with “touch-up” gel applications that you do yourself. This is great for people on-the-go. We will continue to offer the traditional procedure that requires wearing custom made trays 45 minutes twice a day for 5 to 10 days. The non-ZOOM! system is better suited for people with sensitive teeth, ie many fillings or crowns, post-orthodontic treatment or receded gumline areas; or have deeper discoloration due to oral antibiotics.

Dr. Treva Diane Lee would be happy to determine whether you are a candidate for teeth whitening and which system would provide you the smile you’ve always wanted!
