Professional whitening for a smile that truly shines

Daily habits like drinking coffee, tea, or wine can gradually dull your enamel and cause your smile to lose some of its sparkle. Professional teeth whitening is an easy, effective way to bring back that brightness and boost your confidence. 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.

Experience teeth whitening in a calm, relaxing setting designed to make your visit as soothing as it is effective. Our team prioritizes your comfort at every step, combining expert care and advanced technology to help you safely get the brighter smile you deserve.

Whitening with Tend

What is the teeth whitening process like?

Getting a brighter smile is simple. Here’s how the Zoom! one-hour whitening process works.

  • Personalized consultation

    Your whitening experience begins with a quick consultation to discuss your goals and assess your teeth and gums. Your dental professional will help determine the right shade of white to aim for, and a treatment plan will be created to help you safely achieve your desired brightness.

  • Preparation and protection

    Before whitening begins, your gums and lips are carefully protected with a gentle barrier to keep the whitening gel focused only on your teeth.

  • Application of Zoom! whitening gel

    The Zoom! light-activated peroxide whitening gel is applied to your teeth to lift deep stains and discoloration without harming your enamel.

  • Activation with LED light

    A specialized Zoom! LED light is directed onto your teeth to activate the whitening ingredients. The light is applied in short intervals for optimal results and comfort.

  • Rinse and shade check

    Once whitening is complete, the gel is removed, and your smile is rinsed clean. At this point, your dentist will give you a mirror so you can see your noticeably brighter results!

  • Post-whitening care and guidance

    Your Tend Dental care team will provide you with post-whitening tips, such as avoiding darkly pigmented foods and beverages, and keeping up with hygiene appointments, to help you maintain your results. Recommendations for periodic touch-ups will also be discussed, so you can keep your smile at its brightest year-round.

The power of the Zoom! One-hour whitening process

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.

Why people love Tend

  • Amazing experience. Staff was all lovely and skilled, while also offering referrals for unique situations but flexibly willing to work with the patient’s situation/wishes. Most comfortable cleaning I’ve ever gotten, to the point it felt more soothing than anything. Being able to balance a human touch with deep competence in a clinic like this was really surprising, even having had very positive experiences at other locations.

  • Dentistry at a new level. My dentist recently retired, so I had to find a new one. Glad Tend was available with my provider. The modern facility, level of technology, attention to detail and knowledge of the staff was outstanding! Justyna was great!

    George M West Village

  • This is not your traditional dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile, and the service throughout was consistent. They give you the option to brush your teeth before your appointment starts, pick your toothpaste flavor, and choose a show to watch during your cleaning. They explain everything before they do it, which I think could be helpful for people who are afraid of the dentist. The hygienist was especially kind and explained things with visuals, which I appreciated! I also noticed their materials are quite high-tech. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend Tend!

  • My first experience at Tend, and honestly, I had such a great experience. Skarlen was so communicative throughout my appointment and did a great job of keeping me comfortable. They also walked me through my care plan and were upfront about what my insurance covered. I can’t wait to continue with Tend for my upcoming appointments.

  • I was so impressed with the staff and dentist on Saturday. The atmosphere was reassuring and comfortable from the first greeting through my entire appointment. The attention to detail was impressive and made me feel like I was treated like a queen for the day. I decided to recommend the clinic to my daughter, and she will be going on Monday. This is definitely a top-notch dental clinic. I give them a 10 out of 10.

  • The front desk staff are awesome, super friendly, and helpful. The technicians are equally a joy to interact with. Dr. Ho is gentle and an active listener, which is very comforting. Overall, a great experience. I’ve been going to Tend for six years and two years at this office.
