Looking for a fast, safe way to brighten your smile? At Roman Dental Arts, our skilled dentists, Dr. Donald J. Roman and Dr. Alissa M. Roman, offer professional teeth whitening that delivers dramatic, long-lasting results in just one visit. With over 20 years of serving our community members in Hackensack and beyond, we combine top technologies and top-rated treatments to help our patients seamlessly achieve a whiter, more confident smile.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Unlike 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

- 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.
