Since your smile is one of your greatest assets, don’t let stains or discoloration keep you from sharing it with confidence. At Washington Center for Dentistry, we offer Philips Zoom! professional teeth whitening with both in-office and take-home options to help you achieve a noticeably brighter smile safely, effectively, and on your own terms. Teeth whitening at Washington Center for Dentistry is one of the easiest and most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments available to improve and invigorate a smile and overall appearance.
For many patients, teeth whitening is just the first step in remaking a smile with the skill and artistry of cosmetic dentistry. Following this treatment, newly placed porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and/or dental bonding material are matched perfectly to the new lighter color created by this transformative whitening system.
If you’re looking to brighten your smile, you may be a good candidate for Philips Zoom! teeth whitening. Whether you want immediate results with our in-office treatment or the flexibility of whitening at home, we’ll help you choose the option that best fits your lifestyle and goals.
Before treatment, your dentist will examine your mouth to ensure your teeth are strong enough for the treatment and also discuss your concerns and objectives for whitening. Whether your teeth look slightly dull or have dark or yellow stains that have accumulated over your lifetime, the potency of this whitening system can be customized to help you achieve a noticeably whiter, more confident smile.
Use our innovative FlashSmile tool to see what you’d look like with a whiter smile!
Philips Zoom! professional teeth whitening offered by Washington Center for Dentistry, in addition to creating a whiter, brighter smile, has a number of benefits, including:
Removes stains, discoloration, and yellowing
Choose between convenient in-office or take-home treatment
In-office whitening in about 45-60 minutes
Take-home whitening on your schedule
Teeth can become noticeably whiter in as little as one visit or over two weeks, depending on your treatment
Safe, effective, and professionally supervised
At Washington Center for Dentistry, we’ll thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, and recommend the whitening system that’s right for your needs.
After protecting your lips and gums, we’ll apply a professional whitening gel to your teeth and activate it with the Philips Zoom! LED light. The treatment is completed in three 15-minute sessions, allowing you to leave with a dramatically brighter smile in about 45 minutes.
For patients who prefer to whiten at home, we’ll provide professional-strength Philips Zoom! whitening gel and custom trays or instructions for use. Treatment times vary depending on the formula prescribed and your whitening goals, allowing you to brighten your smile comfortably on your own schedule.
Many patients notice a brighter smile during in-office treatment, while take-home patients typically see progressive improvements over several days. Both options effectively reduce stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and everyday aging.
To further preserve your results, our team recommends keeping up a good oral hygiene routine and scheduling regular cleanings at our office in Washington, DC.

The in-office system can brighten teeth by up to eight shades in a single visit, while the take-home system can brighten teeth by up to nine shades after completing treatment. Individual results vary based on your starting shade and the cause of discoloration.
Long-term results depend mostly on the patient. Tobacco, coffee, tea, dark soft drinks, and lax attention to dental care can work against the results.
Yes. This is a professionally supervised whitening system that has been extensively studied for safety and effectiveness. When used as directed, it whitens teeth without damaging healthy enamel.
A small percentage of patients may feel a minor, dull ache following the procedure. Taking some analgesics almost always eliminates the feeling. It’s best to avoid hot or cold drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any sensitivity.
As with most cosmetic dental treatments, insurance will not cover the cost.
Almost everyone seeking a lighter smile can benefit from this system, including those with severe stains from coffee, food, tobacco, or tetracycline. An exam before this aesthetic dentistry procedure will determine promising candidates for whitening. People with a history of TMJ problems, extreme sensitivity to hot and cold foods or drinks, and those with many fracture lines in teeth may not be candidates.
While there are no known constraints for women who are pregnant, some might experience gum sensitivity. Pregnant women might wish to delay the procedure until after pregnancy.
Brush twice daily or after each meal. Floss daily. Use a whitening toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Use take-home bleaching trays one hour a week, or as needed, to maintain the lighter color. Visit your dentist for regular hygiene visits and checkups at least every six months.
Even if you follow proper oral hygiene, your teeth can still become discolored over the years due to aging, foods, drinks, and basically, just living life. Since you can’t stop life, you can stop your teeth from yellowing or becoming discolored. How? With Philips Zoom! In-Office or Take-Home Whitening. These systems can leave your teeth up to nine shades lighter. Can you imagine that? Even if you can’t, our dentists can help make it happen with this powerful system. Just sit back, relax, and let us get to work. Whiter teeth can be yours, but only if you give us a call to schedule your consultation.
