Your Zoom! Teeth Whitening Options
We believe that patients should not only get the results they desire, but they should be able to do so with the treatment that works best for them. That’s why we offer two different whitening options:
In-Office
Our in-office Zoom! whitening is a fast, easy, and effective way to reach the dream shade of your smile. With this treatment, we use a professional-grade, incredibly safe, bleaching agent to enhance the color of our patients’ teeth. We combine this with a special heating lamp to make the Zoom! whitening gel more effective, reaching tough stains even beneath the surface. The best part is that this treatment can be completed in about an hour, and you’ll walk out of our office with teeth that are up to 8 shades brighter.
At-Home
If you want to get effective and beautiful results in the comfort of your own home, we offer a take-home option. Now, you can use the same Zoom! whitening gel that we have in our office, but you’ll apply it to custom-made whitening trays. These are worn for about 30 minutes a day, and you’ll start to see amazing results after about 2 weeks. This process is safe, effective, and best of all, you don’t have to schedule an appointment with our office.
Benefits of Zoom! Teeth Whitening
We offer Zoom! whitening because of these unique advantages:
- Our in-office option is a fast way to enhance your smile for special occasions, interviews, family photos, and more.
- Zoom! whitening gel penetrates enamel to remove stains and discoloration beneath the surface of teeth.
- Our in-office option allows you to leave with a smile that is up to 8 shades brighter.
- At-Home whitening kits are custom-made for even, consistent, and effective results.
- We offer multiple options to make treatment as simple as possible.
- Zoom! whitening results tend to last longer than other whitening solutions.
Cost of Zoom! Teeth Whitening
The cost of your whitening treatment will depend on numerous factors, which is why it’s hard to give you a precise estimate without examining your smile first. The price will also vary based on the option you choose—at home or in our office. The best way to find out the cost of your Zoom! whitening treatment is to contact our office to request an appointment with our cosmetic dentist in DeSoto. We can discuss your needs and schedule a consultation where we’ll develop your personalized treatment plan that includes price.
Understanding the Cost of Teeth Whitening
If you are looking to enhance the natural beauty of your smile, teeth whitening is a great option. It is also one of the most affordable cosmetic solutions out there. There are several factors that can influence the cost of your treatment. Here are some things to take into consideration so you don’t run into any surprises.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Teeth Whitening
In most cases, teeth whitening is one set price. However, there are several different factors that can affect how many treatments you need to reach your goals:
- Severity of Staining: If your teeth are very discolored, you might need additional treatments to achieve the results you are looking for.
- Type of Discoloration: Extrinsic stains are much easier to lift than intrinsic stains.
- Additional Treatments: If you have existing oral health issues, like a cavity or gum disease, they will need to be treated ahead of time.
Types of Teeth Whitening – What Do They Cost?
There are several different types of teeth whitening out there, and they are all at different price points. Here is what you can generally expect from each one:
- In-Office Teeth Whitening: In-office teeth whitening can transform your smile multiple shades whiter in a single appointment. It can cost anywhere from $400 to $800. In some cases, it can even be over $1000.
- Take-Home Teeth Whitening: Professional take-home whitening kits usually cost a few hundred dollars.
- Over-the-Counter Trays: Teeth whitening trays that you can get from your local drugstore are usually $100 or less.
- Over-the-Counter Strips/Gels: This is the most affordable option out there. These boxes can cost between $20 and $40 on average and contain enough product to take about two weeks.
Inexpensive Teeth Whitening vs. Professional Teeth Whitening
When you solely look at the numbers, you may be wondering why anybody would pay more for professional teeth whitening when over-the-counter options are so much cheaper. The truth is that the quality of the results that you receive is clearly reflected in the amount that you pay. This is generally true across the board when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. When you choose cheaper strips and gels, you will likely see little to no results, or it will take many months before you can notice a difference. By choosing professional teeth whitening, you can see beautifully whiter teeth in a fraction of the timeframe. In addition to that, we will examine your smile ahead of time to make sure you don’t have any oral health issues that could be aggravated by whitening products. In the end, professional teeth whitening is faster, safer, and works better!
Options for Making Teeth Whitening Affordable
Teeth whitening is not covered by dental insurance because it is an elective treatment, but this doesn’t mean that you are completely out of luck. Currently, we have a Teeth Whitening for Life Special that we encourage new patients to take advantage of. Our In-House Dental Saving Plan is another great way for patients to save on procedures completed at our practice. Lastly, we accept payments through CareCredit – a third-party financing company that can split the cost of your treatment into manageable monthly installments with little to no interest.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening FAQs
Are you still uncertain whether you want to invest in professional teeth whitening? At Amaze Dental, we want all of our patients to have all the information they need to make confident and well-informed decisions regarding their smiles and oral health. That’s why, for your convenience, we’ve included the answers to some frequently asked questions about Zoom! teeth whitening here on this page.
Why Do Teeth Become Stained in the First Place?
Most people’s teeth natural discolor as they get older. This is because as you age, the enamel of your teeth thins out, revealing more of the layer of yellowish dentin directly underneath it. Chemicals in tobacco as well as certain foods and drinks can also leave behind unsightly stains. Even genetics can play a role in the color of your pearly whites. Previous dental work, excessive fluoride ingestion during childhood, and taking certain medications like tetracycline are also common causes of tooth discoloration.
How Long Will My Results Last?
While no teeth whitening treatment is designed to be permanent, the results of Zoom! whitening will last significantly longer than over-the-counter gels, strips, toothpastes, and mouthwashes. In most cases, your smile has the potential to stay bright for 12-24 months, depending on how well you take care of it afterward.
How Can I Maintain My Results?
For the first 48 to 72 hours after getting your teeth whitened, your enamel will be more porous than normal, leaving your teeth more susceptible to discoloration. Because of this, you should avoid consuming foods and drinks that notoriously stain teeth for the first few days after your treatment.
After that, your results should last quite a while provided you take excellent care of your teeth. Brushing and flossing daily will prevent plaque from building up and contributing to stains. Seeing us for regular checkups and cleanings can remove built-up plaque and clear away surface stains.
It also helps to quit using tobacco products, since they can cause a host of other oral health problems in addition to stains. Lastly, if you’re going to consume foods or drinks that stain, brush your teeth (or at least swish some water in your mouth) right afterward to prevent stains from setting in. Using a straw to sip drinks like coffee or tea can minimize staining by cutting down on direct contact with your teeth.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Over-the-counter teeth whitening products often irritate your gums, erode your enamel, and make your teeth sensitive. However, each of the ingredients in our professional whitening treatment has been proven to be safe and effective. We protect the soft tissues in your mouth from irritation by either isolating your teeth with a dental dam (in-office) or creating customized trays (take-home). If you do experience any sensitivity, it should be minimal and should pass within a couple of days at most.
