Which Type of Teeth Whitening Is Right for You?
Zoom Teeth Whitening
Want an amazing smile without the wait? Zoom WhiteSpeed might be the ideal option for you. This cutting-edge, in-office treatment takes place in a single appointment, where you’re cared for by our experienced dental team for maximum comfort. We’ll apply a highly concentrated whitening gel to your teeth, then accelerate the process with Zoom’s specialized blue LED technology. In about an hour or less, your teeth will be up to eight shades whiter.

- Why Choose Zoom?: If you want significantly whiter teeth right away, or you don’t want the hassle of ongoing multi-day treatment, there’s no better option.
Custom Teeth Whitening Trays
Custom whitening trays have been around for many years, but they’re still a great option for getting results quickly. You will begin to see a brighter smile in a matter of days, and the full effect emerges over about two to three weeks. At Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry, we create custom whitening trays that perfectly fit your unique smile. This lets the professional-grade carbamide peroxide gel remain exactly where it needs to be, getting your teeth multiple shades whiter while protecting gums from irritation.
- The Pros: Provides deep, uniform whitening; low risk of gum irritation.
- Why Choose Trays?: Trays are a great option if you have crowded or uneven teeth.
Dentist-Grade Teeth Whitening Strips
Unlike less effective versions you can find at the grocery store, dentist-grade teeth whitening strips offer a better grip and more effective whitening agent. Thin, flexible, and virtually invisible, strips should be worn once or twice a day for about 30 minutes. This will help you achieve a brightened smile in a couple weeks.
- The Pros: Strips are an affordable, highly convenient, and travel-friendly option. With no dental impressions needed, it couldn’t be easier to get started.
- Why Choose Strips?: If you travel frequently and need a more affordable and flexible option.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Anytime you get a dentist’s office, you’re going to have questions. To help you get ready for your appointment, here are some of the most common questions about professional teeth whitening that we get.
If you can’t find your answer here, call or email us and we’ll be happy to help.
This is a safe and highly effective treatment performed in our comfortable Vancouver WA office, but it may not be the right choice for everyone. If you have any of the following, we recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your options:
- Crowns or restorative dental procedures: Teeth whitening will not affect these.
- Intrinsic staining: If discoloration is the result of tooth decay or medication use, teeth whitening will not work. Teeth whitening provides outstanding results for extrinsic (or surface) staining.
- Sensitive teeth or gums: People with sensitive teeth or gums can still get whitening, but often with lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. If it’s an issue for you, let us know and we’ll find the right treatment for you.
No, not when performed by a dental professional. The active ingredients in our professional whitening gels safely pass through your enamel to break up dark stain molecules inside the tooth without stripping or weakening the tooth structure itself.
Any sensitivity you feel during or immediately after treatment is temporary and usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
Note that we strongly ad
vise against using unverified over-the-counter charcoal pastes or highly acidic DIY whitening trends, as these can permanently scratch or erode your enamel.
For the first 48 hours after your treatment, your teeth are temporarily more porous, making them highly susceptible to picking up new stains. Stick to clear liquids and light-colored foods like chicken, rice, pasta with white sauce, and cauliflower.
Avoid deeply pigmented food and drinks like black coffee, red wine, soy sauce, berries, and tobacco.
