ZOOM! whitening in about an hour
For in-office whitening
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Whitening works best on healthy teeth, so the first step is a look at your mouth, not a bottle of gel.
We check for cavities, gum problems and sensitivity first, because those change which whitening option is safe for you.
ZOOM! in the office for fast results, or custom trays to use at home. We match it to your goals, your schedule and how sensitive your teeth are.
Call (805) 278-8887 or request an appointment online and mention whitening. We’re open Monday to Thursday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and Friday, 8 AM to 12:30 PM, about 15 minutes from Camarillo.
WHAT WE DO
When stains won’t lift or the shape needs changing, veneers can do what whitening can’t.
A same-visit fix for one small chip or gap, at a lower cost than a veneer.
A professional cleaning removes surface buildup before and after whitening.
What causes yellow or stained teeth, and which cases need more than whitening
WHAT TO EXPECT
Whitening lightens the natural color of your teeth. It works best on stains from coffee, tea, soda, red wine and tobacco, and on the yellowing that comes with age. Dr. Tapia and Dr. Haddad can often lift years of surface staining in a single visit.
What it won’t change. Whitening only works on natural enamel. It won’t change the color of crowns, veneers or fillings. Stains from certain antibiotics such as tetracycline, or from too much fluoride, may resist whitening gels. For those, we offer porcelain veneers → and tooth bonding →
Who should wait. Whitening on untreated cavities or inflamed gums can be painful. We treat those first, and we’ll tell you if that’s you.
If you’re planning other cosmetic work. Whiten first, then match the new crowns, veneers or bonding to your brighter shade. Doing it in the other order leaves the new work looking darker than your teeth. We cover it in more detail in our guide to the causes of discolored teeth → and the main teeth whitening page → has the full overview
YOUR OPTIONS
ZOOM! in-office whitening. We apply a professional-strength whitening gel and activate it with a special light. It can whiten teeth up to 8 shades in about an hour, with no downtime. The gels are designed to keep temporary sensitivity and gum irritation down.
Custom take-home trays. We make plastic trays that fit your teeth, and you fill them with professional-grade gel at home. Because they fit, you get more even results and less gum irritation than store-bought kits. You whiten at your own pace, and we offer touch-up kits afterward.
| ZOOM! In-Office | Custom Take-Home Trays | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | About one hour, in one visit | Gradual, at home |
| Results | Up to 8 shades | Builds up over time |
| Best for | An event coming up, or fast results | Slow and steady, or touch-ups later |
| Sensitivity | Gels designed to reduce it | Go at your own pace; stop and call us if teeth hurt |
| Cost | Higher | Lower than in-office |
Most patients start with one, and some do both: ZOOM! for the big change, trays for upkeep. We’ll say which makes sense after your exam.
On average, professional in-office whitening costs between $300 and $800, depending on the method. Take-home trays usually cost less than in-office treatment. Your exact fee depends on the option you choose and what your exam shows.
| What changes the cost | How |
|---|---|
| The method | ZOOM! in the office costs more than custom take-home trays. |
| What your teeth need | A cleaning or treatment before whitening adds a step. |
| Touch-ups | A touch-up kit later is a separate, smaller cost. |
Whitening is cosmetic, so insurance usually doesn’t cover it. Financing is available through CareCredit. Details are on our payment and insurance page → . Ask about an estimate at your consultation, before you agree to anything.
FROM OUR PATIENTS
BEFORE YOU CALL
On average, in-office whitening costs between $300 and $800. Take-home trays usually cost less. Ask us about an estimate at your consultation, before any work begins.
ZOOM! takes about one hour in a single visit. Take-home trays work gradually, at your own pace.
ZOOM! can lighten teeth up to 8 shades, but results vary with the type and depth of your stains. Antibiotic and fluoride stains may resist whitening gels, and we’ll tell you at your exam if that applies to you.
From several months to about two years. Coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco shorten it, and touch-up kits help extend it.
Yes, when it’s done after an exam and supervised by a dentist. We check your teeth and gums first, and we’d rather delay whitening than do it over a problem.
Some people get temporary sensitivity to hot and cold, or mild gum irritation, for a few days. The professional gels are designed to reduce it. If sensitivity is already a problem, tell us before you start. See why teeth become sensitive →
Choose ZOOM! if you want a big change fast, such as before an event. Choose trays if you prefer to go gradually or want something for upkeep. Many people do both.
No. Whitening only lightens natural enamel. If you need new crowns or veneers, whiten first so they can be matched to your brighter shade.
Tobacco, coffee, tea and red wine, especially in the first few days. Brush twice a day, floss, and keep your twice-a-year cleanings. See how to keep your teeth white →
A cleaning removes surface buildup, so the gel works more evenly. We’ll tell you at your exam if you need one first.
