Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Roman Dental Arts waiting roomUnlike drugstore strips or kits, professional whitening uses high-strength whitening agents available only through licensed dentists. At Roman Dental Arts, we use trusted in-office systems, such as Zoom!® Teeth Whitening, to lift deep stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, aging, and certain medications.

Professional teeth whitening treatment is:

  • Fast, with in-office treatments lasting about an hour
  • Safe, with gum tissues fully protected
  • Effective, brightening teeth by multiple shades in a single visit
  • Long-lasting, with results lasting 6-12 months with good care

Our doctors customize every whitening treatment based on your goals, sensitivity level, and desired shade.

Our Professional Teeth Whitening Options

Professional teeth whitening is one of the quickest, safest, and most popular ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. As we age or consume stain-causing foods and drinks, our teeth naturally become discolored. We offer both advanced in-office treatments for immediate results and customized take-home systems for convenience and maintenance.

In-Office Whitening: Fast, Dramatic Results

For patients seeking the fastest and most dramatic change, our clinical in-office options use professional-strength whitening gels combined with specialized light activation (for certain systems) to deliver noticeable results in about one hour:

  • Philips Zoom!® WhiteSpeed. This popular system uses a hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a proprietary LED light. The light accelerates the whitening process, allowing you to achieve a smile up to several shades lighter in a single visit, all while being safely monitored by our team.
  • Opalescence® Boost. This is a chemically activated, powerful whitening gel that does not require a light. The potent formula works quickly to lighten teeth, and because it is chemically activated, it is often more comfortable for patients with existing sensitivity.
  • GLO® Science Professional. The GLO system utilizes a combination of professional-grade whitening gel and patented heat-and-light technology delivered via a comfortable mouthpiece. This method is clinically proven to achieve professional results with minimal sensitivity.

Your visit begins with a brief exam to determine the best whitening treatment for you. We then protect your lips and gums, apply the professional-strength whitening gel, and activate it with a specialized LED light (depending on the system). The process typically involves a few short sessions and reveals immediate results before you leave our office. We'll also offer take-home touch-up kits to help you maintain your bright new smile.

Take-Home Whitening: Convenient and Customized

For our patients who prefer to whiten their teeth at their own pace or for maintaining the results of an in-office treatment, we offer customized take-home kits:

  • Opalescence® PF (Potassium Nitrate and Fluoride). This highly effective gel is prescribed in custom-made trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. The "PF" formula includes ingredients to help reduce sensitivity and prevent cavities while you whiten.
  • GLO® Science Take-Home. This system provides the patented GLO heat-and-light mouthpiece for use at home with the professional-strength vials of whitening gel, offering accelerated results outside of the dental office.
  • Philips Zoom!® Take-Home Whitening. Similar to Opalescence®, this system provides professional-strength gel with custom-fitted trays, allowing for a personalized, gradual whitening process that you control.

Whether you need a quick boost before an event or prefer a gradual whitening process, we have a professional solution to help you achieve a beautifully bright smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Professional teeth whitening results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks, not smoking, and scheduling regular dental cleanings can help your brighter smile last even longer.

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for professional whitening. However, patients with untreated cavities, gum disease, or certain types of discoloration may need other treatments first. We'll evaluate your smile during your consultation to determine the best option.

In-office whitening provides dramatic results in about an hour using professional-strength whitening agents applied by our dental team. Custom take-home kits allow you to whiten gradually on your own schedule while still using dentist-approved products designed specifically for your smile.

No; professional whitening only lightens natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of crowns, veneers, bonding, or tooth-colored fillings. If you have dental restorations in visible areas, we'll discuss the best way to achieve a natural, even-looking smile.

Common causes of tooth discoloration include coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, aging, certain medications, and highly pigmented foods. Even with excellent brushing habits, stains can gradually build up over time, making professional whitening a popular cosmetic treatment.

Yes. If you're planning cosmetic restorations, it's often recommended to whiten your natural teeth first. Your veneers or crowns can then be matched to your newly brightened smile for the most seamless, natural-looking result.

Most patients only need professional whitening once a year, with occasional touch-ups as needed. Your dentist will recommend a whitening schedule based on your goals, lifestyle, and the type of whitening treatment you choose.

Professional whitening treatments contain stronger whitening ingredients than store-bought products and are customized to your needs. Because treatment is supervised by a dentist, you can achieve faster, more noticeable, and more consistent results while protecting your teeth and gums.

For the first 24 to 48 hours after whitening, it's best to avoid foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauce, and dark-colored sodas. Tobacco products should also be avoided during this period to help preserve your results.

Roman Dental Arts offers multiple professional whitening systems, including Zoom!®, Opalescence®, and GLO®, allowing us to customize treatment based on your goals, timeline, and sensitivity level. Combined with our experienced dentists, advanced technology, and personalized care, we make it easy to achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile with confidence.
