I want to get my teeth whitened. I was going to my dentist to get those trays but everyone is saying Zoom is better. Should I do that instead? I’m so confused. I tend to be a people pleaser so I feel bad when someone tells me to do something and I pick something else. <\/p>\n

Dear Patsy,<\/p>\n

\"Patient<\/p>\n

Don’t feel bad about going a different direction if that is what’s better for you. I wouldn’t say that Zoom Whitening<\/a> is better; just that it is faster. With Zoom, your teeth are whitened quickly in just one appointment. <\/p>\n

It uses a special light (pictured above) which activates the whitening gel allowing the process to move faster. Your teeth will get as white as possible in that one appointment.<\/p>\n

With at-home whitening<\/a>, your dentist will use the trays to custom fit them to your teeth, then provide you with professional strength whitening gel. It will get your teeth just as white, it just takes longer and works more gradually.<\/p>\n

This is ideal for people who want to control the level of whitening. Or people who don’t want to suddenly show up with super white teeth. Instead, it will happen gradually and won’t be a sudden change which makes it obvious you’ve had your teeth whitened. <\/p>\n

So, one is not better than the other, just different ways of accomplishing the same goal— getting your teeth as white as you want them.<\/p>\n

When You Want to Change More than Their Color<\/h2>\n

Some people are thrilled with just getting their teeth whitened. They already have fantastic teeth which just picked up stains as they got older. <\/p>\n

Others, however, have several things they wish they could change about their teeth. If that happens to be you, porcelain veneers<\/a> may be a better option for you. They give you a total smile makeover. The veneers can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth all in one go.<\/p>\n

They are more pricey than teeth whitening, so only do it if you want to completely remake your smile.<\/p>\n
