As you get older, your teeth get stained and yellowed. This is mainly due to drinking beverages that stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and colas. Smoking will contribute to the staining of your teeth as well.

This unfortunate side effect of the aging process can mar your smile and make you self-conscious around others. Fortunately, with modern cosmetic dentistry procedures, you can recapture that bright, vibrant smile of your youth.

Dr. Folck utilizes both the in-office Zoom! tooth whitening technique and the at-home Nite White system. When used together, these two procedures will yield excellent results, providing you with a vastly improved smile.

The Zoom! procedure uses a hydrogen peroxide gel that gets applied to your teeth. A light is then shone on your teeth to activate the whitening chemicals in the gel. During this process, your gums will be covered to prevent irritation. This can be completed in one visit. You will undergo three separate 15 minute whitening sessions. Your entire visit will last about an hour and a half.
Dr. Folck also recommends augmenting the Zoom! procedure with the Nite White take-home trays. He will provide you with a custom mouth piece designed specifically for the contours of your teeth. You will only need to wear the mouth piece for about a half hour a night, and the benefits are well worth the effort. This procedure will continue the work started in Dr. Folck’s office by further penetrating your teeth’s stains to give you an even brighter shining smile.
