Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening in Midtown Manhattan is available at Rockefeller Dentistry, where Dr. Marc Gainor, Dr. Richard Rausch, and Dr. Eric Chason use the Zoom teeth whitening system to lift stains and brighten your smile without damaging your gums. Whether you prefer an in-office treatment that delivers results in about an hour or take-home trays you can use on your own schedule, the practice offers both options to fit your needs.

Why teeth lose their whiteness

Even with consistent brushing and flossing, teeth naturally lose their brightness over time. Aging, genetics, tobacco use, and certain medications all contribute to discoloration. So do everyday foods and drinks including coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. Surface stains from these sources build up gradually, and over-the-counter products often cannot reach the deeper discoloration that professional whitening can address.

Before your treatment begins, the doctors evaluate the health of your teeth and gums to confirm you are a good candidate for whitening. Patients with severely discolored teeth or gum damage may be better served by other cosmetic options, such as veneers, and the doctors will discuss those alternatives with you at your consultation.

Professional Zoom whitening in Midtown Manhattan

Your in-office whitening appointment begins with a thorough cleaning of your teeth. The doctor then places a protective guard over your gums before applying the Zoom whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. An LED light is positioned over your teeth to activate the whitening agent. The gel remains in place for approximately 30 minutes, after which you rinse and review your results.

Your teeth may feel more sensitive than usual in the day or two following treatment. The doctors will provide aftercare instructions to help manage any discomfort.

Maintaining your results

After whitening, what you eat and drink matters. Foods and beverages that stain, including coffee, red wine, and berries, can reduce the longevity of your results. Rinsing your mouth with water afterward helps slow the staining process. Brushing at least twice daily, flossing once a day, and keeping your twice-yearly professional cleaning appointments at Rockefeller Dentistry will keep your smile looking its best over time.

The practice also offers at-home whitening trays for patients who prefer a more gradual approach or want to maintain their in-office results between visits. The doctors will show you how to use them properly to get the most out of your treatment.

Professional whitening is only as good as the team administering it, and at Rockefeller Dentistry that means doctors who bring decades of advanced clinical training to every procedure.

The clinical standard behind every procedure

Dr. Rausch is a Fellow of four prestigious dental organizations including the American College of Dentistry and the International College of Dentistry, and has spent his career committed to delivering the highest quality care across all aspects of dentistry. That standard applies to every procedure at this practice, including whitening.
