What is a teeth whitening?
Teeth that are dingy and stained are unattractive and can keep you from wanting to show your smile, and whitening toothpastes usually aren’t enough to make a noticeable difference. For patients located in or near West Babylon, NY who are serious about getting a whiter, brighter smile, Dr. Clifford Brown, Dr. Stephen Peck, Dr. Harold Gaynes and associates provide top-notch professional teeth whitening treatments. With our innovative whitening techniques, your teeth can be white, bright, and beautiful virtually overnight!
Why are my teeth stained?
There are a variety of reasons why you may have stained teeth. Some of these causes are preventable, but some are actually beyond your control. You may have stains due to:
- Drinking dark beverages, such as tea, coffee, wine, and sodas
- Tobacco use (smoking cigarettes, cigars, or chewing tobacco)
- A natural genetic disposition
- The use of certain antibiotics, such as tetracycline
If you want to maintain a bright smile, it is important that you avoid excessive dark beverage drinking, and avoid smoking at all costs (not only for your teeth, but also for the sake of your overall health)! However, even if you are a multiple cup-per-day coffee drinker or a smoker, you can still get that white, bright smile with teeth whitening from our dentists.

ZOOM!® Whitening Cosmetic Dentistry Service
ZOOM! whitening is an in-office teeth whitening service to whiten teeth up to 8 shades lighter. It is great for patients who want to get rid of their yellow, stained teeth in a quick way. You can even schedule your teeth whitening appointment during your lunch break and have your teeth whitened in about one hour!
What can patients expect?
The procedure is pretty simple and painless. Before the appointment, we may recommend that patients take Advil to lessen the degree of sensitivity.
During the treatment, we use a special lamp to penetrate the teeth and remove stains. During the process, we use a mouth retractor to ensure your lips and chin do not get exposed to the Zoom! bleach or the Zoom! light.
We apply the bleaching agent evenly to your teeth for a bright, new smile. The bleach will stay on your teeth for 15-minute intervals until the desired result is achieved. Typically, 4 sessions are recommended for maximum results.
Once treatment is finished, our cosmetic dentists inform patients that if stain-causing foods are consumed within 24-48 hours, brushing is recommended. Lastly, to help with tooth sensitivity, we sometimes provide patients with fluoride treatments.
