Your Options

Three ways to whiten

Most people choose Zoom In-Office. If you’d rather go slowly at home, take-home is for you. KöR is for deep stains and sensitive teeth.

Done in one visit

Zoom In-Office

$800,all-inclusive

  • About 90 minutes
  • Up to 8 shades

Best forWhen there’s a date on the calendar: a wedding, an interview, a reunion.

  • Gums protected
  • Shade recorded before and after
  • Trays and touch-up kit
  • You’ll spend about 45 minutes under the WhiteSpeed light, and the whole visit takes roughly 90 minutes.
  • We check your teeth and gums first, then record your starting shade.
  • A day or two of sensitivity afterward is normal. We’ll turn the strength down as we go, and we’ll stop anytime you ask.
  • You’ll leave with custom trays, a touch-up kit, and a simple plan for the first 48 hours.

At your own pace

Zoom Take-Home

$550,all-inclusive

  • Two to three weeks
  • Gradual and even

Best forWhen you’d rather whiten at home, on your own schedule.

  • Custom trays
  • Professional-strength gel
  • Trays are yours to keep
  • You’ll come in for a short impressions visit, and your trays and gel are ready a few days later.
  • You wear the trays a little each day, or overnight, for two to three weeks.
  • It’s a gentler pace, so it suits sensitive teeth.
  • You keep the trays for touch-ups down the road.

Deep stains

KöR Whitening

Priced per case

  • About two weeks
  • Nightly at home

Best forWhen your teeth are sensitive, or the stains haven’t budged with whitening before, including tetracycline.

  • Refrigerated gels
  • Sealed overnight trays
  • Desensitizers built in
  • The gels are kept refrigerated, so they’re still potent when you use them.
  • The trays seal, so the gel keeps working while you sleep.
  • You wear them nightly for about two weeks, with an optional finishing visit in the studio.
  • We’ll go over your price with you before you come in.
The Visit

What happens at an in-office visit

  1. Book

    Pick a studio and a time online. It takes about a minute.

  2. Quick check

    We look over your teeth and gums, then record your starting shade.

  3. Whiten

    We cover your gums, apply the gel, and you spend about 45 minutes under the light. We check in with you at every cycle.

  4. Reveal

    We hold your new shade next to where you started, and you head home with trays and a touch-up kit.

Good to know

Healthy teeth and gums whiten best. If we need a recent exam or X-rays first, we’ll let you know before you come in.

Booking take-home

It’s a short visit for impressions. Your trays are ready a few days later.

Comfort and Care

Why whiten with a dental team

If your teeth are sensitive

Tell us, and we’ll plan around it. We’ll turn the strength down as we go and finish with a relief gel. A day or two of sensitivity afterward is normal, and it fades on its own.

Your gums stay protected

We paint a barrier along your gumline before any gel goes on, so the whitening stays on your teeth.

We’re honest about results

Everyone starts from a different shade. We’ll record yours, show you the change, and tell you plainly if whitening won’t get you where you want to be.

If you have crowns or veneers

Dental work keeps its color, so we’ll plan your shade around it.
