Transform your look as soon as now

It’s Your Choice! Whether you want your teeth whiter right now or over a few nights while you sleep, ZOOM! is your answer. The Zoom! In-Office Whitening System uses proprietary technology to whiten your teeth an average of three shades in a little over an hour while you relax at your dentist’s office. It’s ideal for anyone who wants immediate results.

The Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System uses a revolutionary patent-pending gel to whiten your teeth an average of three shades in three nights. And you may go even lighter with additional applications. Start on Friday, and by Monday you’ll have a whole new smile.

A whiter smile can mean a younger-looking appearance. The aging process can weaken your enamel, causing your teeth to absorb stains, and gradually becomes darker. Acidic foods and drinks -- such as coffee, wine or diet soda -- make the surface of your teeth even more vulnerable to stains.

ZOOM teeth whitening is our recommended safe, effective and fast way to improve the look of your teeth.

FAQs -- Click to reveal the answers to teeth whitening questions

Q: Can I get my teeth really white just by using a whitening toothpaste?

A: The best way to whiten teeth is with professional treatment. Over-the-counter toothpastes or home remedies like baking soda can't completely remove discolouration from your teeth. Your enamel darkens with age. You can do your part to keep your teeth bright by brushing and flossing daily, not using tobacco, and limiting your intake of staining foods and drinks (like red wine, coffee, and tea).

Q: If I want my teeth to be whiter, should I stop drinking red wine?

A: You don't need to avoid these beverages entirely to prevent stains on your teeth -- just be mindful of what they might do to your smile, and try to limit your intake. Remember diet soda can also cause these problems, because its acidity breaks down your tooth's enamel, which can leave your smile prone to stains.

Q: Are at-home tooth-whitening kits just as good as getting in-office whitening?

A: Markham Gate Dental Centre offers ZOOM! teeth whitening, which is faster and stronger than average over-the-counter options. In addition, an advantage to our in-office whitening is the powerful lights we use to accelerate the lightening process.

Q: Does my dental insurance cover teeth whitening?

A: Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that isn't commonly covered under health insurance plans. However, everyone has different coverage, so please ask our reception staff to help you understand your available coverage.
