TEETH WHITENING IN SYOSSET, NY

Creative Dental of Syosset uses the Zoom whitening system at a 15% hydrogen peroxide concentration, which is stronger than anything sold over the counter. In Dr. Mozner’s words: “In-office whitening is worth it because by law the United States cannot allow pharmacists to sell high-peroxide bleaching materials. They have to be handled by a doctor in the dental office. OTC strips use lower concentration which is not as effective as in-office whitening.” That higher concentration is why a single in-office session lifts about 2 to 3 shades, while store strips take weeks for a smaller change. A protective barrier shields your gums during the procedure while the gel and LED light work on the enamel.

In-Office Zoom Whitening

Dr. Mozner applies the Zoom gel and an LED light in the office, and you leave the same visit about 2 to 3 shades brighter. The full appointment takes a little over an hour, and a protective barrier keeps the gel off your gums.

Take-Home Whitening Kits

If you would rather whiten gradually, the office makes custom trays and sends you home with professional-grade gel to use at your own pace. This is also the simplest way to touch up your results later, after the color starts to come back.

• Yellow or dull teeth from aging
• Stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco
• Dark spots or general discoloration
• Uneven tone caused by lifestyle or diet

Note: Whitening may not be effective on crowns, veneers, or fillings, we’ll evaluate your case and recommend the best solution.

Some patients feel mild, short-lived sensitivity for a day or two after whitening, and it settles on its own. Dr. Mozner checks your enamel and asks about any existing sensitivity before he starts, and the protective gum barrier keeps the gel where it belongs during the session. Comfort is part of how this office works day to day: Dr. Mozner is known for painless dentistry, and the practice keeps options like nitrous oxide and noise-canceling headphones on hand for anxious patients. If your teeth tend to be sensitive, the take-home trays let you whiten more slowly, which is gentler than a single concentrated session.

The dentist understood my fear with dental equipment from past experiences in a different office so he and his assistant made sure I was comfortable and even provided options such as noise canceling headphones!

Creative Dental uses the Zoom whitening system at a 15% hydrogen peroxide concentration. This professional-grade concentration is significantly stronger than anything available over the counter, which is one reason in-office results are more dramatic and longer-lasting. Dr. Mozner explains the difference: “In-office whitening is worth it because by law the United States cannot allow pharmacists to sell high-peroxide bleaching materials. They have to be handled by a doctor in the dental office. OTC strips use lower concentration which is not as effective as in-office whitening.”

The full in-office Zoom treatment takes a little over an hour. Patients can expect up to two to three shades of improvement in a single session. A protective barrier shields the gums during the procedure while the whitening gel and LED light work on the tooth enamel.

The first week after your Zoom whitening treatment is critical for maintaining results. “No stained products, no stained food products should be consumed for a week,” Dr. Mozner advises. During this period, your teeth are more susceptible to absorbing pigments from food and beverages.

For the first 7 days after treatment, avoid: coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauce, berries, soy sauce, and dark sodas. Stick to light-colored foods and drinks. After the first week, resume your normal diet while being mindful that heavy staining habits will shorten the lifespan of your results.
