In just one visit, stains are safely lifted, revealing a whiter, healthier-looking smile.
At Tend Dental, whitening is never one-size-fits-all. Our dental professionals personalize every treatment to your goals, using advanced, enamel-safe formulas that deliver dramatic results with minimal sensitivity.

Getting a brighter smile is simple. Here’s how the Zoom! one-hour whitening process works.
At Tend, we use Zoom! one-hour whitening, a professional treatment that brightens your smile quickly and safely. Zoom! uses a powerful yet gentle whitening gel that’s activated by a specialized LED light to lift deep stains and discoloration from your enamel.
The process typically takes about an hour, with results that can make your teeth up to eight shades whiter in a single visit. It’s ideal for anyone who wants a noticeably brighter smile without the long wait times of at-home treatments.
While the gel is working, you can sit back and unwind with noise-canceling headphones and watch your favorite show, while enjoying the soothing atmosphere around you. If you’re prone to sensitivity, we’ll apply a desensitizing gel to keep you comfortable during and after treatment.
Curious about teeth whitening? Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about the process to help you feel confident in your choice.
Our top-rated hygienists and dentists will advise if a Zoom! whitening is a good option for you and monitor your comfort and sensitivity throughout the process. Our whitening treatment is designed to deliver effective results under professional supervision.
Tend is proud to offer best-in-class Zoom! whitening, which offers visible results quickly and safely. Zoom! is clinically proven to brighten smiles by up to eight shades in one one-hour session.
A professional whitening session at Tend Dental costs $495.
The longevity of your whitening results depends on your habits. Factors like tobacco use, red wine, coffee, and tea can contribute to staining. Whitening can last for many months, and in some cases, a year or more.
At Tend Dental, your comfort is always our primary focus. That's why we trust Zoom! to whiten our patients' smiles.
Zoom! uses an advanced blue LED light technology that targets stain components that hydrogen peroxide alone cannot, enhancing the whitening process. Faster, more effective treatments mean most patients have little to no discomfort. If mild sensitivity does occur, over-the-counter painkillers are typically effective at relieving discomfort.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is considered very safe when it’s done under the care of a licensed dental professional.
Dentists and hygienists have relied on these systems for decades, and the process is designed to protect your enamel while brightening your smile. You may notice increased sensitivity afterward, but it should gradually diminish over a few days. Your dental team will guide you through every step of the whitening process to keep you comfortable and confident throughout your treatment.
After your whitening treatment, it’s best to avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth for at least one week. This includes items like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and red pasta sauce. If you do have darker beverages, using a straw may help reduce the risk of staining. Brushing with an electric toothbrush at least twice a day can also help minimize surface stains, and at-home whitening products can be used periodically throughout the year for touch-ups.
It’s normal to experience some sensitivity within 12–24 hours after treatment. To help manage this, you can apply ACP Relief Gel to your teeth, take over-the-counter pain relievers such as Advil or Tylenol if needed, and brush with a fluoridated toothpaste like ClinPro, Prevident, or Sensodyne.
If you notice any areas of gum irritation that don’t improve within three days, if tooth sensitivity makes it difficult to eat or drink, or if your pain worsens three days after whitening, it’s a good idea to contact your dental provider.
Having a dental cleaning and exam within the past six months sets the foundation for safe, effective teeth whitening. If you’re due for one, it’s best to schedule that visit before beginning treatment. Anyone experiencing tooth or gum pain, anyone with veneers or restorative work on their front teeth, and anyone who is pregnant should check with a dentist first. A quick consultation gives you personalized guidance and ensures whitening is the right choice for your smile.
At Tend Dental, we set aside time for your teeth whitening appointments to help you achieve your brightest smile.
If you need to cancel with less than two days’ notice or miss an appointment, the first and second times won’t incur a fee. We understand that life happens.
For a third missed whitening appointment, a $100 fee may apply, and for the fourth and any additional missed appointments, a $200 fee may be charged.
