New Year, New Smile: 5 Benefits of Professional Teeth Whitening

Now that the new year is here, it’s time to knuckle down on those resolutions for a better you in 2026. For fast results with dramatic impact, there’s little that beats professional teeth whitening at New York Dental Health, with seven locations in the Bronx and New York City, New York. 

We recommend Philips Zoom!® whitening, both in-office and at-home kits, for our patients looking to perk up their smile this new year. In a single session, you can leave our office with a smile that’s up to eight shades brighter than your natural tooth color. 

It’s an instant smile makeover. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits that Zoom! offers you. 

Fast, dramatic results

In terms of turning heads in a hurry, there’s little that rivals a Hollywood-bright smile. Because of the strength of professional light-activated bleaching agents and the experience of our whitening technicians, you emerge from your appointment with brighter teeth than you could ever achieve with consumer-based home care whitening products. 

For safety, consumer products use milder bleaches than we use for chairside whitening. Strong bleaches can severely damage your gums if used incorrectly. For that reason, over-the-counter products simply can’t deliver the same whitening power as in-office Zoom! 

Safety and customization

Safety only starts with professional handling of dental bleaches. We take steps to protect your gums beyond the care you can take at home. We can customize your treatment to account for your existing dental work, too, precisely matching crowns or veneers for a uniform appearance.

We also offer desensitizing therapy for those prone to hot and cold sensitivity, which may otherwise be boosted by whitening. This assures your whitening session both looks and feels great. 

Better tough stain results

Deep stains in your tooth enamel and intrinsic stains in the dentin layer don’t respond well to at-home whitening. Whitening with Zoom! breaks down these tough-to-handle stains. 

Long-lasting results

The depth of a professional Zoom! whitening session simply lasts longer. While your teeth will still stain after a whitening session, it takes time to reach pre-treatment levels. With excellent home care and regular dental cleanings twice a year, the benefits of your whitening session can last for many months. 

You can also extend your whiteness. Ask us about an at-home whitening system, including a custom tray, to maintain the brilliant results of your initial treatment. 

Confidence and esteem

Your smile is often the calling card with which you meet the world. Imagine the boost you’ll feel, knowing your bright smile is the impression others first notice about you.
