How Teeth Whitening Works
Teeth whitening lifts years of staining without touching the structure of your teeth. Dr. Bouz offers a fast in-office treatment and a gradual take-home option, both using professional-strength whitening gel under his guidance, so you get real results and know exactly what to expect before you start.
Two Ways to Whiten, Your Choice
Whether you want same-day results or a gradual change at your own pace, Dr. Bouz offers an option that fits your timeline.
Backed by Professional Guidance
Dr. Bouz oversees your whitening from your first consultation to your final results, giving you more control and a more even result than a do-it-yourself approach.
Straight Answers About Your Results
Dr. Bouz tells you honestly what results to expect before you commit to anything, so your finished smile is never a surprise.
Financing & Insurance
Making It Work Financially
We accept most major insurance plans, so call or email to verify your coverage. For patients without insurance, Dental Prime Membership covers two annual exams, two cleanings, and routine X-rays for $375 a year, plus 15% off any restorative work. Financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Sunbit, and Alphaeon is available for larger treatment costs.
Understanding Teeth Stains
Not all stains are the same, and knowing what’s causing yours helps Dr. Bouz recommend the right treatment. Common causes include:
- Coffee, tea, and red wine, which gradually darken the outer enamel
- Tobacco use, which causes yellow-to-brown surface staining over time
- Aging, as the outer enamel naturally thins and reveals the yellower layer underneath
- Certain medications, which can cause deeper staining that’s more resistant to whitening
- Excess fluoride exposure during childhood, which can cause white or brown spots on the enamel
Our Treatment Options
Dr. Bouz offers two professional whitening options, both using dentist-grade whitening gel that’s stronger than anything available over the counter. He helps you choose the option that fits your timeline, budget, and comfort level during your consultation.
Zoom! Whitening
A fast, in-office treatment that gives you noticeably brighter teeth in about an hour, all in a single visit.
- Uses a high-concentration whitening gel activated by a special light for faster results
- Gives you visibly brighter teeth the same day, useful before a wedding, interview, or other event
- Happens entirely in the office under Dr. Bouz’s direct supervision
- Typically delivers a more dramatic change than gradual at-home whitening alone
Opalescence Take-Home Trays
A gradual, at-home treatment using custom-fitted trays and professional whitening gel you apply over one to two weeks, so you can whiten at your own pace.
- Trays are custom-molded to your teeth for even, consistent contact with the whitening gel
- Uses a lower-concentration gel over a longer period, which can feel gentler on sensitive teeth
- Lets you whiten on your own schedule, without setting aside time for an office visit
- Comes with clear instructions from Dr. Bouz on how much gel to use and how long to wear your trays each day
In-Office Whitening vs. Store-Bought Options
Store shelves are full of whitening strips and kits, but professional treatment offers real advantages over a do-it-yourself approach:
- A treatment plan built around your teeth and your goals, not a one-size-fits-all strip
- Professional-strength whitening gel that delivers noticeably brighter results than over-the-counter options
- Dr. Bouz monitors your results and adjusts your treatment to help manage sensitivity
- A more even result, since your custom trays are fitted specifically to your teeth
What to Expect During Your Smile Whitening Treatment
Consultation
Dr. Bouz checks that your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening and talks through which option fits what you want.
Zoom! Whitening
If you choose the in-office option, you sit in the chair while the whitening gel and light do their work over about an hour, giving you noticeably brighter teeth the same day.
Opalescence Take-Home Trays
If you choose the take-home option, Dr. Bouz takes an impression for your custom trays and sends you home with clear instructions on how and when to apply the gel over one to two weeks.
Setting Expectations
Either way, he tells you honestly what results to expect before you commit to anything.
