Zoom!® Teeth Whitening – Altamonte Springs, FL
The Best Way to Achieve Long-Lasting & Safe Results
Over time, teeth can become discolored due to tobacco use, long-term antibiotic use, beverage stains, and many other reasons. Stained pearly whites can quickly make a smile lose its youthful appearance. Fortunately, modern teeth-whitening technology can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile by whitening and brightening your teeth. We offer Zoom! teeth-whitening in Altamonte Springs. Zoom! is available for both an in-office whitening treatment and take-home use. Our dentists have been treating satisfied patients with this revolutionary tooth whitening system for years and have achieved amazing results.
Teeth Whitening Treatments
When you choose professional teeth whitening in Altamonte Springs, you can either get treatment from the comfort of your own home, or fast and effective in-office treatment. Either way, you’ll be able to look forward to virtually guaranteed, long-lasting, beautiful bright teeth that can boost your confidence and make you feel like smiling more.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Zoom! chair-side teeth-whitening technology involves applying a pH-balanced hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel to your teeth. One of our certified dental assistants will protect your gums, lips, and cheeks to avoid exposure to these sensitive tissues. The gel will then be activated by a laser light directed at the teeth to brighten your smile by several shades. The entire process takes two hours or less.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
We also offer customized take-home teeth whitening trays as a cost-effective and convenient alternative to our in-office whitening system. These trays are also helpful when you need to touch-up in-office whitening results periodically. Typically, they’re applied to the teeth for approximately thirty minutes, twice a day, until your desired shade is achieved. Our take-home method allows you the freedom to easily fit whitening into your schedule, no matter how busy it is.
The Benefits of Professional Treatment

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Are you not sure if teeth whitening is right for you? Tried many different oral care products to brighten teeth and been disappointed every time you do? At Distinctive Dentistry on Maitland, we’re not happy until you’re happy. So, when it comes to teeth whitening (or any cosmetic treatment for that matter), we want to make sure you’re satisfied and fully informed. Below, we’ve included the most common questions we hear from our patients regarding this treatment, so feel free to review our detailed responses as well!
Is take-home whitening less effective than in-house whitening?
Not at all! The same ingredients we use for your in-office whitening treatment are what we also provide in our take-home solutions. While the ingredients used in take-home treatments are not exactly the same strength, they are just as effective at creating the brighter smile you’re looking for. However, you will need to dedicate more time to your whitening treatment if you decide to whiten at home. Most cases require whitening at least 30 minutes a day for the next two weeks.
Does whitening treatment hurt?
Nope! There should be virtually no pain or discomfort when it comes time to complete your whitening treatment. What’s even more incredible is that the specialized formula used to whiten your smile is also designed to reduce nearly all levels of tooth sensitivity. If you have previously experienced tooth sensitivity during professional whitening treatment, feel free to let us know and we’ll make sure you are as comfortable as possible in preparation for your cosmetic procedure.
How often do I need to get my smile retreated?
It really depends on what your habits are either following your in-house whitening or what you do in between your at-home whitening sessions. For example, if you do not practice routine brushing and flossing at home or expose your smile to large amounts of staining foods and beverages, your smile may need a touch-up more often than others. Of course, if you already maintain routine checkups and cleanings at our office, you should have very little to worry about!
When should I perform my at-home whitening regimen?
We recommend that you brush your teeth and floss thoroughly before beginning your at-home treatment. This is largely because you’ll want to avoid accidentally performing your treatment on any food debris or plaque that can interfere with its overall effectiveness.
Does teeth whitening affect my restorations?
Unfortunately, the whitening agents used in either store-bought or professional-grade solutions is not effective at addressing stains on dental restorations, including crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, or any other restorations made from ceramics or resins. This is because these materials do not respond to teeth whitening in the same way that organic enamel does. With that said, if you have any old or dull restorations that could stand out following your whitening treatment, now may be the time to consider replacing them. Our office is happy to look over them in greater detail and confirm if they would have any trouble blending in with your smile following your whitening treatment.
