Summer Whitening: Smile Perfected

Roanoke Dental Center

Summer is here, and it's the season of sunshine, vacations, and picture-perfect memories. There's no better time to elevate your confidence and brighten your smile. Whether you're heading to weddings, beach parties, or simply want to look your best for summer selfies, professional teeth whitening can give you the radiant, youthful glow you’ve been dreaming of.


This summer, perfect your smile with two of the most effective whitening options available: in-office deep bleaching with LED light and Zoom custom take-home whitening trays.


Why Whiten in Summer?


Summer brings an increase in social events, outdoor gatherings, and travel. With so many photos being taken and shared, your smile becomes a focal point. A brighter, whiter smile not only boosts self-confidence but also makes a lasting impression.


Plus, summer is the perfect time to refresh your look and treat yourself to a confidence-boosting smile makeover.


In-Office Deep Bleaching with LED Light


If you're looking for fast, dramatic results, in-office deep bleaching with LED light technology is the ultimate solution. This professional-grade whitening treatment delivers instant brightness by targeting deep-set stains and discoloration in a single visit.


The process involves applying a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth, which is then activated using an advanced LED light system.


Benefits of In-Office LED Whitening:


  • Immediate Results: Noticeably whiter teeth in just one appointment

  • Safe and Controlled: Performed by dental professionals in a safe, monitored environment

  • Long-Lasting Effects: Professional-grade whitening gel penetrates deep into the enamel

  • Minimal Sensitivity: LED activation minimizes discomfort during and after the procedure


This treatment is ideal for patients with special events on the horizon or those seeking an immediate transformation. It's also a great jumpstart to your long-term whitening regimen.


Zoom Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays


For those who prefer the flexibility and convenience of whitening on their own schedule, Zoom custom take-home trays are a top-tier option. These aren’t your average store-bought kits. Each set is digitally designed using precise iTero scans to ensure a perfect fit for your teeth.


Once scanned, the trays are sent directly to Philips, the manufacturer of Zoom whitening, where custom trays are fabricated and then shipped directly to your home.


Benefits of Zoom Custom Trays:


  • Custom Fit: Perfectly molded to your smile for optimal contact and comfort

  • Professional Strength: Higher concentration whitening gel than over-the-counter options

  • Gradual Whitening: Build up your results over a week or two for a naturally radiant look

  • Flexible Use: Ideal for busy schedules or touch-ups throughout the year


Zoom’s advanced whitening gel contains amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), potassium nitrate, and fluoride to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity, making it a safe yet powerful solution for long-term use.


Which Whitening Option Is Right for You?


Choosing between in-office LED whitening and Zoom custom take-home trays depends on your lifestyle, timeline, and whitening goals.


  • Choose In-Office Deep Bleaching if:

    • You need immediate results for an event or special occasion

    • You have deep-set stains or discoloration from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco

    • You prefer professional supervision and fast results

  • Choose Zoom Custom Trays if:

    • You want to whiten gradually on your own time

    • You prefer a more affordable option with professional results

    • You like the convenience of whitening at home


Many patients even combine both methods—starting with in-office whitening for instant results, then using Zoom trays for maintenance and touch-ups throughout the year.


The iTero Advantage


One standout feature of the Zoom take-home whitening system is the use of iTero digital scans. Unlike traditional impressions, iTero scanning is fast, mess-free, and incredibly accurate.


The digital scan captures every contour of your teeth to ensure that the trays fit like a glove, optimizing the whitening gel’s contact with your enamel for consistent, even results.


This digital precision means:


  • Better results

  • No uncomfortable impressions

  • Faster turnaround time

  • Direct shipping to your doorstep


How to Maintain Your Bright Smile


After investing in your summer whitening, keeping your smile luminous is key. Here are some easy tips to help maintain your new glow:


  • Avoid staining foods and drinks like red wine, coffee, tea, and berries

  • Use a straw to minimize contact with colored beverages

  • Brush and floss regularly to remove surface stains and plaque

  • Touch up periodically with your Zoom trays to maintain brightness

  • Schedule regular cleanings with your dentist to keep your teeth polished and healthy


Shine Bright All Summer Long


Summer is the season of smiles—make yours unforgettable. Whether you choose in-office deep bleaching with LED light for instant brilliance or Zoom custom take-home trays for professional-grade convenience, you’re choosing to invest in a confident, camera-ready smile.


With options tailored to your needs and lifestyle, there's no reason to settle for anything less than your brightest smile yet. Schedule your professional whitening consultation today and take the first step toward a summer filled with sparkle.


Your best and brightest smile is just a treatment away!
