Professional Teeth Whitening in Calgary NE
A brighter, whiter smile can make a world of difference in how you look and feel. We use the Philips Zoom whitening system — available as a single-visit in-office treatment or a custom-fitted take-home kit.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses carefully formulated bleaching agents to lighten the shade of your teeth. Unlike store-bought whitening strips or toothpastes, professional treatments use higher-concentration formulas that are applied under controlled clinical conditions — delivering faster, more dramatic, and longer-lasting results.
Over time, teeth naturally become stained or discoloured from everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, eating pigmented foods, smoking, and simply aging. Professional whitening can noticeably lighten stains that build up over the years — results vary from person to person.
At The Port Dental Clinic we use the Philips Zoom whitening system — one of the most widely used professional whitening systems in North America. Zoom is available two ways: an in-office treatment activated by a specialised LED lamp, and a take-home kit with custom-fitted trays. Many patients combine the two, brightening in the chair and then maintaining at home.
We evaluate your teeth and gums before recommending a whitening treatment to ensure it's safe and effective for your specific situation.
Two Ways to Whiten with Philips Zoom
Zoom In-Office Whitening
Done in a single appointment. We protect your lips and gums, apply the Zoom whitening gel, and activate it with the Zoom LED lamp over a series of short sessions — usually about 60–90 minutes in the chair. The degree of change varies from person to person.
- Completed in one visit
- LED light-activated whitening gel
- Supervised start to finish by your dentist
- Ideal ahead of a wedding, graduation, or special event
Zoom Take-Home Whitening
Whiten on your own schedule. We take moulds of your teeth and make custom-fitted trays, then supply professional-strength Zoom gel with instructions on wear time. The custom fit keeps the gel on your teeth and off your gums for even, comfortable results.
- Custom-fitted trays made from your own impressions
- Professional-strength gel, not an over-the-counter kit
- Gradual results over 1–2 weeks
- Reuse your trays for future touch-ups
