Teeth Whitening
Serving Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, and Phoenix AZ
Teeth whitening is among the most popular treatments in modern dentistry. And for good reason! Nothing brightens a smile as efficiently or effectively as professional teeth whitening. Our Scottsdale, AZ, dentist, Dr. Andrews, offers both in-office and take-home whitening solutions to meet the needs of virtually every patient.
The Zoom Chair Side Whitening System is an advanced tooth whitening treatment that works quickly in the comfort of our office. Zoom is a simple process, great for anyone looking for immediate results. The Zoom whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated under a special light. The gel and light penetrate the teeth’s surface, dissolving stains and discoloration. In less than one hour, you’ll have a dramatically whiter smile!
Alternatively, our Opalescence take-home whitening kit is ideal for anyone who wants to monitor treatment themselves or maximize their in-office treatment results. A customized whitening tray and gel will be provided, and Dr. Andrews will give you a set of instructions to follow. It only takes two weeks to see visibly brighter, whiter teeth.
If you dream of having a set of sparkling smile teeth whitening by our Scottsdale, AZ, dentist may be your perfect solution! To find out if teeth whitening is right for you, call Princess Center Dentistry today and schedule your appointment.
