Dr. Yeo or Dr. Tan will help you choose the best option based on your needs, lifestyle, and desired results.
Advanced Teeth Whitening
What is the teeth whitening procedure like?
Now, you can have significantly whiter teeth quickly and easily. Teeth can become discolored from drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. As we age, the teeth can get stained and darkened. Teeth whitening, known as “bleaching,” is one of the safest cosmetic procedures done in dentistry and lightens the discoloration of enamel and dentin. Bleaching whitens natural teeth only, so it’s best to select the shade you want before starting any work, such as crowns, veneers, or fillings, on your front teeth.
Take-Home Whitening Kit
You can whiten your teeth at home in a matter of a few days using our advanced at-home whitening kit. Both comfortable and affordable, our at-home whitening involves you wearing a specially crafted tray for a few hours in order to achieve a surprising difference in your smile. We create custom-fit take-home trays for you and a professional-grade bleaching solution to be worn to achieve the desired whiteness.
Zoom!® Teeth Whitening
Now, you can have significantly whiter teeth in a matter of minutes. Both comfortable and affordable, Zoom! teeth whitening can make your teeth up to six to eight shades lighter in as little as 45 minutes. Zoom! is safe, effective, fast, and performed only by dental professionals. The Advanced Power Chairside Lamp accelerates the bleaching process by activating the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. As the hydrogen peroxide breaks down, oxygen penetrates the teeth to whiten the discoloration. Zoom! is a convenient option for busy individuals who do not have time for gradual whitening.
Address a Range of Coloration Concerns
What conditions does teeth whitening address?

- Stains from food and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine)

Dr. Yeo or Dr. Tan will assess your teeth to determine the cause of discoloration and recommend the most effective whitening treatment.
