Teeth Whitening

Bellevue Overlake Dental

A beautiful white smile is always an attractive asset, and while there are many over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments available, a custom tray from our Bellevue dentist can help you get the best possible results. Dr. Monika Yu provides teeth whitening with custom trays which are custom-designed to fit your teeth exactly.

You may get much better results with a custom-designed tray because there are no gaps and the whitening solution will cover your teeth completely. Bellevue Overlake Dental also offers Zoom! Teeth Whitening for patients that want to brighten their smile within an hour. This in-office procedure works with a tooth whitening compound that is activated with a special light.

Types of Teeth Whitening Procedures

Dr. Yu offers patients two options for teeth whitening: Zoom! Teeth Whitening and custom trays. The Zoom! Teeth Whitening procedure is a comfortable, in-office treatment that involves applying whitening gel to the teeth and then activating the solution with a special light to break up surface stains.

During that time, you are free to listen to music or watch television. We can then make a set of custom trays using molds of your teeth for touch up treatments. You can use these trays for touch up treatments at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What teeth whitening options does Bellevue Overlake Dental offer?

Dr. Yu offers two options: Zoom! in-office teeth whitening and take-home whitening with custom trays.

How long does Zoom! teeth whitening take?

Zoom! is an in-office treatment designed to brighten your smile within about an hour. A whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a special light, and you can listen to music or watch television during the visit.

What are custom whitening trays?

Custom trays are made from molds of your teeth so they fit exactly. Because there are no gaps, the whitening solution covers your teeth completely. They are a good fit for patients who prefer gradual whitening at home.

Is professional whitening better than over-the-counter whitening?

Over-the-counter products use one-size-fits-all applications. Custom trays from our Bellevue dentist are designed around your teeth, which helps the whitening solution cover them evenly, and treatment is guided by Dr. Yu.

Can I touch up my results after whitening?

Yes. After a Zoom! treatment, we can make custom trays from molds of your teeth for touch-up treatments at home.

Which whitening option is right for me?

Zoom! suits patients who want results in a single visit, while custom trays suit those who prefer gradual whitening or cannot fit an in-office visit into their schedule. Dr. Yu can help you choose.

Should I choose teeth whitening or veneers?

It depends on your smile goals. Whitening brightens your natural teeth, while veneers cover the front surface of teeth to address issues like stains or gaps. Our team will evaluate your teeth and recommend the treatment that best fits your needs.
