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, spa-like 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 reveal a brighter, more radiant smile.
What is the teeth whitening process like?
Getting a brighter smile is simple. Here’s how the Zoom! one-hour whitening process works.
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 spa-like atmosphere around you. If you’re prone to sensitivity, we’ll apply a desensitizing gel to keep you comfortable during and after treatment.

-
How much does teeth whitening cost?

-
How long does teeth whitening last?
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.
-
Does teeth whitening hurt?
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.
-
Is teeth whitening safe?
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.
-
What do I need to do before coming in for my teeth whitening?
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.
