Why wait?

If you have stained or discolored teeth, Dr. DeMello can brighten your smile in about one hour with ZOOM Whitening.

ZOOM tooth whitening is a bleaching process that  gets rids of stains caused by coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, smoking, aging, the use of certain antibiotics or excessive fluoridation.

The one hour ZOOM technique was featured on ABC TV's Extreme Makeover show by its inventor Dr. Bill Dorfman with whom Dr. DeMello studied. The ZOOM technique uses a light activated gel whose active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. The ZOOM technique involves protecting all the soft tissue around the mouth and the process is always monitored by Dr. DeMello's staff.

The technique can be used on everyone and is especially good for people with periodontal recession and those with sensitive teeth.

After the in-office portion of the treatment, you will be given a set of custom bleaching trays and a double tube of home whitening gel for touch ups.

For those who may not want to spend an hour in the chair, Dr. DeMello can provide home whitening in the form of custom trays or Rembrandt Professional whitening strips which are 5 times the strength of over-the-counter products.

Dr. DeMello uses several home whitening systems so he can choose the system that will remove the stains and whiten your teeth best. He uses only American Dental Association accepted bleaching gels. The patented formula has sticky, adhesive properties that produce results in days rather than weeks!

Those "glorified toothpastes" at the drugstore chain store or on TV commercials just can't give you the whitest possible smile, only professional strength bleaching agents can.

The gels used are formulated to provide beautiful overnight results.

• Fast, safe and effective
• Delicious flavors - Great taste; minimal salivary flow.
• Viscous formulas stays in tray and on teeth where it belongs!
• Significant water in formula minimizes tooth dehydration
• Wear as little as 30 minutes per day!
• Stays active for 8-10 hours for night time bleaching
• Contains 0.11% fluoride ion

The active ingredient in the whitening gel, carbamide peroxide, has been recognized by FDA for many years as an oral antiseptic and is now used for its superior tooth whitening properties and comes in various strengths so Dr. DeMello can choose just the right strength for you.

Rarely will patients with sensitive teeth will be uncomfortable using conventional whitening techniques like strips, trays and in-office whitening techniques. For these patients, Dr. DeMello can provide a paint on gel that will remove stains below the surface of the tooth and will whiten teeth in 14 days.

If your teeth are sensitive but you would still like to have the benefits of tooth whitening, ask Dr. DeMello about this special technique.
