Teeth that shine as bright as you do

Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments, due in large part to being readily available and requiring minimal time. Whether you prefer a relaxing Zoom! Whitening treatment in Dr. Franklin’s office, or would rather whiten your teeth at home, our Lodi dental office is sure to provide the right option for you.

Zoom! Whitening is a simple, effective procedure, completed in as little as three 15 minute appointments in Dr. Franklin’s office. The Zoom light activated gel works to accelerate the process of tooth whitening, providing a smile that is up to 8 shades whiter (though individual results may vary). Zoom! Whitening is particularly effective at combatting yellow staining which may occur as a result of aging, soda, coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco use, among many other causes. Dr. Franklin’s Lodi dental practitioners will evaluate your teeth and provide you with all the information you need to ensure you receive the best possible results for your smile. Opalescence boost whitening may be a better choice for you if you prefer an option which does not require the use of an ultraviolet light. Dr. Franklin applies a unique, chemically activated formula to your teeth which will not only whiten, but has also been shown to strengthen enamel, fight cavities and decrease tooth sensitivity. In just 90 minutes, your smile may be noticeably whiter! If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home, Dr. Franklin’s Lodi dental office may provide you with a customized tooth whitening kit. You will simply apply a specialized whitening gel into your tooth tray, and apply the tray to your teeth. Prescribed lengths for whitening will vary from patient to patient, however because the amount of peroxide in at-home whitening systems is substantially lower than that contained in dentist-administered treatments, you can rest assured that there is little risk of increased gum sensitivity as a result of this process. In as little as two to four weeks, you will begin to notice a whiter, brighter smile! Teeth whitening, whether at-home or in-office, may not be right for everyone. While whitening processes have been extremely effective in removing yellow stains caused by dark food or drinks, brown- or grey-stained teeth are harder to correct through a whitening process, and may be better suited to veneers.
