You can’t stop the aging process, but you can take steps to prevent tooth loss. Here’s what you need to know about how aging affects your teeth — and how you can help keep them healthy.
Whiten Your Teeth for Those Upcoming Holiday Parties and Photos
The holidays are nearly here, which will see a return to friends and family celebrating together this year. Look and feel your best at those festivities and the resulting photos with a professionally brightened smile.
Over-the-counter whitening products offer minimal results and can be cumbersome to use,
If you’re looking to whiten your teeth from 6-12 shades in only an hour, Philips Zoom!® in-office whitening is the answer. Whitening done at our office is more controlled, is easier to use, and delivers superior results.
How does Zoom! Whitening work?
Attaining a vibrant smile with the Zoom! Whitening system couldn’t be easier. The team at Sargon Dental — Sargon Lazarof, DDS, Dan Dansie, DDS, and Fahtema Sadat, DDS — has enhanced the smiles of countless patients using this best-in-class system.
We’re all about safety first and begin by protecting your gums with a rubber dam.
Teeth whitening is very safe, but it is safest when supervised by professionals.
Next, a retainer filled with whitening gel is fitted over your teeth. Then it’s lights and action.
The Zoom! whitening solution breaks down stains on your teeth while the special Zoom! light enhances the whitening process.
We let the gel sit for 10-15 minutes. This process is repeated several times until you achieve your desired results.
How long will my results last?
After whitening with Zoom!, you’ll see noticeable results immediately. How long the effects last depend on you.
To best maintain the results:
- Brush and floss regularly
- Don’t skip regular dental cleanings
- Avoid foods and beverages high in tannins and pigment
- Avoid carbonated drinks, including light and dark sodas
- Switching from coffee and black tea to white or green tea
- Stopping smoking
- Use your at-home whitening kit
We offer patients at-home whitening kits with professional-grade whitening gel to help keep your teeth sparkling. Our trays are custom fabricated for each patient for optimal results and comfort. Over-the-counter whitening products use generic one-size-fits-all trays to deliver the whitening gel.

Professional teeth whitening is fast and affordable and is one of the quickest ways to look years younger.
