We offer 2 types of procedures to help whiten your smile. The first is
called Zoom, an in-office procedure that takes about 1½ hours.
In this short period of time, you can safely and comfortably achieve results
from 6-10 shades whiter. The second method can be done at home and uses
whitening trays (1 ½ hours daily) to whiten and brighten your smile
in a few weeks. The take home method offers you the comfort and convenience
of being in your own home during treatment.

your teeth. By using the latest in digital imaging, photography, study
models, and before-and-after pictures, Dr. Dickson can assist you in
choosing a new life-changing smile.
