Zoom! whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results.

With proper care and an occasional touch-up at home, your whiter smile will sparkle for years.
At Home Whitening/Bleaching Trays
A whiter smile can certainly be achieved with bleaching trays, and at home whitening. Dr. Mooney fabricates custom trays in which bleach is then applied to each tooth and worn for about an hour each day for two weeks. After desired results are achieved, an occasional touch-up will maintain your white smile.
Internal Bleaching/Single Tooth Whitening
Discoloration of a single anterior tooth is often the result of trauma in which the inside of the tooth is injured or even dies. The injured and dead tissue causes discoloration from the inside out, in this situation at home whitening or Zoom! whitening will not work, the tooth must be bleached internally. Dr. Mooney uses a method known as "walking bleach" in which a special formulation of bleach is placed inside the tooth. The patient is then seen once a week for about three weeks, and the bleach is replaced at each visit. Internal bleaching is often the best solution for a single anterior tooth that has had trauma or prior root canal therapy.
