One of the most effective ways to enhance your appearance is to give yourself a whiter, brighter smile. Teeth whitening is one of the most sought after cosmetic treatments for this reason. Bleaching teeth will help remove stains and lighten discolorations, as well as enhancing a dull smile. The teeth whitening systems we use at MI Roots Family Dental are safe and virtually painless procedures that can give you the smile you wish for. Dr. Joseph Szymczak and our team offer two types of teeth whitening in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to better address your teeth whitening needs.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

The first style of whitening treatment we offer is Zoom! Whitening, which is ideal for anyone looking for express results. This in-office treatment takes just an hour to see results. Dr. Szymczak will apply a protective gel to your gums in order to shield the soft tissue of your mouth. Then our dentist will use a special whitening gel and light to make your teeth whiter in just a matter of minutes. Zoom! Whitening may require future touchups to keep your smile bright.

At-Home Whitening

Tray whitening is a treatment you can use while in the comfort of your own home. During your first visit to our office, our team will take an impression of your mouth so you can have customized whitening trays. During your second visit, Dr. Joseph Szymczak will teach you how to apply the special bleaching material and wear your trays. In order to achieve the best results, you will need to wear your whitening trays twice a day for 30 to 60 minutes. Additional treatments may be necessary to maintain your smile.
