Teeth naturally become stained or discolored over time, whether it’s due to the foods and drinks you consume, tobacco use, aging, or certain medications. While surface staining doesn’t necessarily mean your smile is unhealthy, most want the look of a bright, white smile.
At Leavitt Dentistry, we understand that your smile’s appearance has a significant effect on how you navigate the world and the way people perceive you. That’s why we’re proud to offer professional teeth whitening using the proven Philips Zoom whitening system to help our patients achieve brighter, more confident smiles. It’s a safe, effective way to dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth and help you put your best smile forward.

The Advantages of Professional Teeth Whitening
There are endless drugstore options available for teeth whitening, from toothpastes to strips to trays. However, these products often fall short — their active ingredients are less powerful, there’s no guarantee the trays and strips will fit, and there’s an increased likelihood of developing sensitivity without professional guidance.
If you want consistent, reliable results, there’s no better choice than professional teeth whitening with the team at Leavitt Dentistry. We use the Zoom system, which is trusted by dentists worldwide to safely remove years’ worth of stains and discoloration. It produces faster, more noticeable results than over-the-counter products, helping you achieve a brighter smile in less time.
The advantages of opting for professional teeth whitening include:
- Faster results: Noticeable improvement in a shorter timeframe.
- More consistent whitening: Custom-made trays ensure uniform coverage, meaning no surface gets missed.
- Safer treatment: Professional supervision minimizes risks of gum irritation and sensitivity.
- Longer-lasting results: Professional-grade formulas provide more powerful, longer-lasting whitening results.
- Increased confidence: Achieve a brighter smile for social events, job interviews, weddings, and everyday life.
- Customized treatment: Our team will tailor your whitening treatment to your unique needs.
Our Custom Whitening Approach
We offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatments for powerful, long-lasting results tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
The Zoom in-office whitening system uses a combination of professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel and blue light LED technology to safely penetrate the whitening effect into the enamel. This powerful duo has proven to create a noticeably brighter smile in just 45 minutes.
The take-home whitening kit includes a set of trays and whitening gel that can be worn anywhere from 30–60 minutes a day. The right formulation for you depends on your sensitivity levels and your desired results. Whichever option you choose, we’ll send you home with instructions tailored to your needs, ensuring you get the brightest smile possible.
Often, our patients choose to do a combination approach to ensure an effective and fast whitening result that can be touched up with custom trays over the years to keep the color exactly where they want it over time.
How to Maintain Your Whitening Results
Simply undergoing in-office whitening treatments isn’t enough to keep your smile bright and white forever. You’ll also need to implement good daily habits to help maintain your overall oral health. This includes brushing and flossing consistently, along with using dentist-recommended oral care products. You should also limit stain-causing foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, dark sodas, and red wine.
You’ll also need touch-up treatments and periodic maintenance to ensure your smile stays bright. This means using refill whitening gel as recommended, professional cleanings to help remove surface stains, and visiting our office for routine exams.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Philips Zoom teeth whitening work?
Philips Zoom uses a professional-strength whitening gel, along with powerful blue LED light, to break down stains and discoloration within the tooth enamel.
How much whiter will my teeth get?
The amount of whitening varies from person to person based on factors such as the type of staining, the natural shade of the teeth, and how closely treatment instructions are followed. Most patients notice a significant improvement in the brightness of their smile after completing their whitening treatment.
Does teeth whitening damage enamel?
When used as directed under professional supervision, teeth whitening does not damage healthy tooth enamel. Professional whitening systems are designed to safely remove stains while preserving the structure and health of your teeth.
Do crowns, veneers, or fillings whiten?
No, whitening treatments only affect natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other dental restorations. If existing restorations no longer match your newly whitened teeth, we can discuss options for updating them to create a more uniform smile.
