Whiten for Life Program
It’s an enrollment program which entitles our patients, one touch up syringe at their next 6 or 8mth preventive hygiene appointment. By participating in this program, you must keep all your preventive appointments current and active. You can cannot short notice cancel, cancel or change your appointment time/date from the original date the appointment was scheduled. If you lose or misplace your trays, there will be an extra cost.
Whitening is a process that lightens the discolouration of tooth enamel and dentin. Discolouration is most often caused by natural aging, foods that stain (such as beets, coffee, tea, red wine, berries, etc.), smoking and mild intrinsic staining (tetracycline). Whitening allows us to restore a bright, healthy, youthful appearance to your smile.
The Art of Dentistry offers two types of whitening
1. Take Home
2. In-Office Zoom AP
Take Home Whitening
This form of whitening is done in the comfort of your own home. Custom fitted trays are used with hydrogen peroxide gel over the span of 2 weeks to lighten the tooth enamel.

Dr. Weiss specializes in the latest, most effective tooth whitening procedure available—the Zoom! In-Office Whitening System. Safe, fast and convenient, Zoom! uses a combination of formulated lighting and hydrogen peroxide-based bleach to whiten teeth—typically by 6 to 10 shades—in one brief office visit. With simple, regular home touch-ups and careful maintenance, a beautiful Zoom! smile can last indefinitely.
Zoom! Whitening Gel is carefully applied to the enamel and activated by a special Zoom! Whitening Lamp. The gel breaks itself down and then releases oxygen into the teeth's dentin (the main, hard part of the tooth) and enamel. The oxygen bleaches away stains without affecting the structure of the teeth. After three applications, the gel is removed, and a five-minute flouride treatment is administered. The end result is brighter, whiter teeth that are essentially free of coffee, tea, soft drink, wine, or tobacco stains.
Although many patients who do try Zoom! have no side effects, some might experience tooth sensitivity, discomfort from the heat lamp, or mild tingling sensations. Zoom! In-Office Whitening System is safe for most patients, although those who nurse, are pregnant, take prescription or homepathic light-sensitive drugs, have skin cancer, or receive chemotherapy should not undergo the procedure.
