Get a Beautiful Bright Smile with Tri-Hill Family Dentistry of York
Looking for Teeth Whitening in York?
Tri-Hill Family Dentistry of York provides full cosmetic dentistry, including professional teeth whitening. Whitening is the most popular cosmetic dental procedure. Teeth bleaching brightens and removes stains and discoloration up to eight shades whiter in a single visit.
Understanding Tooth Stains
When examined closely, the tooth's enamel is actually quite porous, and thinking about it in this way helps explain how teeth can become stained.
Coffee, tea, colas, wine, specific fruits and vegetables, smoking or chewing tobacco, and insufficient brushing and flossing can all stain the enamel of the teeth. Tiny microscopic particles lodge themselves into the porous enamel layer of your teeth, discoloring the tooth's overall appearance. Tri-Hill Family Dentistry of York provides professional-grade whitening solutions that effectively bleach the enamel while blasting out particles within the porous enamel layer. What remains is a lovely whiter enamel layer.
Nothing beats a bright, radiant smile that lights up the room.
ZOOM Whitening
We start the Zoom whitening process by covering your lips and gums leaving only your teeth exposed. At this time, we can usually estimate how white your new smile will be by matching your teeth with a whitening shade and estimate approximately up to 8 shades whiter from here.
Next a professional strength whitening gel is applied to the surfaces of your teeth. This special gel is specifically designed to work with the Zoom whitening light.
The Zoom whitening light is placed directly in front of your teeth to maximize exposure to the gel. The special light activates the gel which gently penetrates the outer-most (enamel) layer of your teeth; breaking up stains and discoloration during the process.
Smile with confidence as you leave the office with a brighter, whiter smile!

How much does Zoom Single-visit Whitening Cost?
At first, it may seem like being able to whiten your teeth up to 8 shades whiter in a single dental visit would cost a fortune right? That's not the case at all! Advances in smile whitening technology and procedure techniques have drastically cut down on the cost to patients. At Tri-Hill Family Dentistry of York, Zoom single-visit smile whitening is extremely affordable for the everyday patient and is one of the cheapest cosmetic dental procedures available in dentistry today.
Single-visit whitening (generally) costs slightly more than at-home whitening kits. That said, with our single-visit whitening system, you're getting a super fast whitening result of up to 8 shades whiter in about one hour vs. weeks of nightly applications with home-whitening kits. You're also getting a deeper whitening (longer lasting) result because single-visit whitening uses a concentrated whitening gel which activates using a specialized whitening light.
Because results may vary depending on the existing color, shade and condition of your teeth, we invite you to request an appointment and come in so we can take a look at your smile.
Zoom Whitening vs. Do-it-yourself At-home Whitening Kits
Today, whitening your teeth can be done using a variety of products and services. Do-it-yourself at-home whitening kits are available at your local supermarket and are an effective way to whiten teeth but require frequent applications for weeks at a time to achieve a whiter smile.
Our Zoom whitening system uses a specialized concentrated whitening gel that you can't find in supermarkets and is activated by using a powerful whitening light that is also not available to the general public. Zoom smile whitening is done in the dental office and only requires 1 dental visit compared to nightly whitening applications from an at-home whitening kit.
Any form of teeth whitening can achieve great results. Single-visit whitening enables those with time-sensitive occasions such as a wedding, reunion, etc. to whiten their teeth now however, home whitening is an extremely affordable whitening method you can do yourself!
Home Whitening
The most common type of home teeth whitening involves placing a gel-like whitening solution, which usually contains hydrogen peroxide, in a tray that resembles a Nightguard or mouth guard. Over-the-counter mouthpieces are unlikely to fit correctly and can cause gum irritation if the whitening agent seeps out. The tray is then placed over the teeth for a certain period of time, anywhere from an hour or two to overnight.
