Summer comes with its own spotlight: weddings, beach trips, backyard parties, and plenty of group selfies. If your teeth are looking a little dull, Zoom! Whitening at Scott Edwards DDS can help you feel photo-ready fast! Dr. Scott Edwards, Dr. Julia Prince, and Dr. Clayton Myers offer this quick, in-office treatment for a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit. Before you kick off your sandals and settle into the chair, let’s take a look at how it all begins.
What Happens During Zoom! Whitening
If you’re picturing a long, complicated process…well, don’t! Zoom! Whitening is simple, comfortable, and only takes about two hours from start to finish. It’s perfect for squeezing in between pool days and patio dinners.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Quick Check-In
Dr. Scott Edwards, Dr. Julia Prince, or Dr. Clayton Myers will make sure Zoom! Whitening is right for you, then prep your teeth for the session.
Step 2: Gel & Light Activation
A whitening gel is applied to your teeth, then activated by a special light. This combo breaks down stains deep in the enamel without harming the surface.
Step 3: Multiple Rounds, One Bright Result
The treatment includes several short rounds to maximize brightness. By the end, you could be up to 8 shades lighter.
Zoom! Whitening works fast, but it’s what you do next that helps lock in that summer glow. Let’s look at how to keep your results going strong long after your appointment.
Keep That Summer Shine Going
Once your smile’s brighter, it’s time to help it stay that way. The first 48 hours after Zoom! Whitening are when your teeth are most sensitive to staining, so a little extra care goes a long way.
Smart habits for lasting results:
- Skip the dark stuff (just for now): Coffee, tea, red wine, and anything with dark sauces can dull your results. Lighter meals and clear beverages are your best bet for the first two days.
- Use a straw: If you need that iced coffee fix, sipping through a straw helps keep stains away from your freshly whitened teeth.
- Stick with your routine: Brushing twice a day, flossing, and using a whitening-friendly toothpaste will help preserve that post-appointment sparkle.
- Touch-up trays: Ask about professional take-home options from Scott Edwards DDS to refresh your smile down the road.
Up next, let’s explore what makes Zoom! Whitening is such a standout choice compared to store-bought options.
Why Zoom! Whitening Outshines the Rest
Not all whitening treatments work the same way. While drugstore strips and DIY kits may promise a brighter smile, they often fall short when it comes to results and safety. Zoom! Whitening at Scott Edwards DDS is designed for noticeable improvement in just one visit.
Personalized for You
Dr. Scott Edwards, Dr. Julia Prince, and Dr. Clayton Myers tailor each Zoom! Whitening session based on your current tooth shade, goals, and any sensitivity concerns. It’s not a copy-paste solution.
Strong Yet Gentle
The Zoom! formula includes enamel-safe ingredients that strengthen your teeth while whitening. Unlike some over-the-counter products, it won’t leave your teeth feeling worn down or irritated.
Stays on Target
With an in-office application, the whitening gel stays where it belongs (on your teeth, not on your gums). That means fewer side effects and more effective results.
Up next, let’s break down the types of stains Zoom! Whitening can tackle, including the ones that over-the-counter kits can’t touch.

What Kinds of Stains Can Zoom! Whitening Tackle?
Not all stains are created the same, and not all of them respond well to whitening strips from the drugstore. Zoom! Whitening from Scott Edwards DDS is designed to handle a wide range of stain types, including the tougher ones that tend to stick around!
Everyday Stains
Daily habits leave their mark over time. Coffee, tea, wine, and even tomato-based sauces can gradually tint your teeth.
- Zoom! lifts these surface stains quickly and effectively
- Most patients notice brighter teeth immediately after treatment
Age-Related Darkening
As enamel naturally thins with age, the inner dentin layer shows through more easily, making teeth appear duller.
- Zoom! helps brighten the appearance by reducing the yellowish effect
- It’s a quick way to restore a more youthful look
Tobacco Stains
Nicotine and tar can leave deep, stubborn stains behind, often too tough for store-bought solutions.
- Zoom! penetrates deeper than over-the-counter kits
- With professional supervision, it’s possible to see major improvement in just one session
From everyday wear to tougher discoloration, Zoom! Whitening works across a wide spectrum.
Now that you know how it works and what it treats, let’s take a moment to see who Zoom! Whitening works best for and how to know if it’s a good match for your smile.
Is Zoom! Whitening Right for You?
If you’ve been thinking about whitening but aren’t sure where to start, Zoom! Whitening might be the perfect fit! Not everyone has the same goals, lifestyle, or oral health needs, which is why the team at Scott Edwards DDS takes the time to customize each recommendation.
During your initial visit, Dr. Scott Edwards, Dr. Julia Prince, or Dr. Clayton Myers will:
- Examine your teeth and gum health to confirm you’re a good candidate
- Review any history of sensitivity or past whitening experiences
- Talk through your goals, schedule, and what kind of result you’re looking for
From there, they’ll outline what to expect and answer any questions before getting started. If another option would work better for your needs, they’ll point you in the right direction without pressure.
With a plan that fits you, you’ll leave the office knowing exactly what’s next and that you’re in good hands!
