Teeth Whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the color of teeth 5-7 shades, removing stains and discoloration. It is popular because it can significantly enhance the appearance of a smile, boosting confidence and making one look more youthful.

Who is a good candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Good candidates for teeth whitening are individuals with healthy teeth and gums who want to improve their teeth' color. It is ideal for stains caused by food, beverages, or tobacco.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth Whitening uses bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, to break down stains on the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth. During your teeth whitening treatment your teeth will be assessed and your whitening goals will be discussed. Your teeth are then cleaned to remove surface debris. Then a whitening gel is applied to the teeth and a special blue light device is utilized to activate and enhance the whitening effect.
How long does a teeth whitening session take?
A typical in-office teeth whitening session at Botanic Zen Aesthetics takes about 90 minutes. This allows for thorough consultation, application and activation of the whitening agents.
Post Care:
After a teeth whitening treatment the “white diet” must be follow for 24-48 hours while the enamel of the teeth remain open. The “white diet” consists of any/all food and drinks that are white or clear. During this time the teeth are highly susceptible to stains. White foods and white/clear drinks may be consumed. All colored food must be avoided. We recommend maintaining good oral hygiene and utilization of a whitening foam to maintain your results.
