If you decide you would like to pursue a teeth whitening procedure, you will first need to be deemed a proper candidate. Dr. Blevins will determine your candidacy with a quick oral examination of your teeth and gums.

Perhaps you are someone who would prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. If that is the case, Zoom is the easy and effective solution you’re looking for.
Should you choose Zoom as your teeth whitening treatment, Dr. Blevins will start by providing you with a set of tooth whitening trays that are custom-fitted to your mouth. A powerful gel formulated to whiten your teeth will be given to you in addition to the trays.
You will simply apply the gel to the trays and leave them in for as long as directed. Be sure to use the trays as Dr. Blevins instructed and try to ensure the gel only makes contact with your teeth and not your gums. Otherwise, some irritation can occur.

Boost is a safe, dental-grade teeth whitening system that can provide you with beautiful results in only two visits with us. First, Dr. Blevins will need to assess the current shade of your teeth.

During each visit, the gel will be applied for about 20 minutes and you will start to see results in about an hour! Follow up treatment may be needed but Dr. Blevins will be sure to discuss this with you.
