Brighten your smile with professional teeth whitening at Progressive Dental in Ann Arbor. We offer Philips Zoom! In-Office Whitening and custom take-home whitening trays to help you achieve a noticeably whiter smile with an option that fits your goals and schedule.
Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, certain foods, medications, and the natural aging process. While regular brushing and professional dental cleanings are important for keeping your teeth healthy, they may not remove stains that have developed within the tooth enamel.
Professional teeth whitening can help lift these stains and brighten your smile. At Progressive Dental, we offer Philips Zoom! professional teeth whitening, with both in-office treatment and custom take-home whitening options available.
Philips Zoom! In-Office Whitening
For patients looking for noticeable results quickly, Philips Zoom! In-Office Whitening provides professional whitening during a visit to our Ann Arbor dental office.
During treatment, a professional-strength whitening gel is applied to the teeth and used with the Zoom! light-activated whitening system. The treatment is designed to break down stains and discoloration, helping brighten your smile in a single appointment.
In-office whitening can be a great option before a wedding, vacation, graduation, professional event, or anytime you simply want to refresh your smile without completing a multi-day whitening routine at home.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
For patients who prefer to whiten gradually and on their own schedule, Progressive Dental also offers custom take-home whitening trays.
Unlike generic over-the-counter whitening products, your trays are professionally made to fit your teeth. You will receive professional whitening gel along with instructions from our dental team on how and when to use your trays.
Take-home whitening gives you greater flexibility over when you whiten and allows you to gradually work toward your desired shade from the comfort of home. Your custom trays may also be useful for future whitening touch-ups when recommended by your dentist.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Philips Zoom! uses professional whitening agents to break down stains and discoloration within the teeth. Progressive Dental offers both an in-office option for patients who want faster results and custom take-home trays for patients who prefer to whiten gradually at home.
With in-office Zoom! whitening, the whitening gel is professionally applied and activated using the Zoom! light system. With take-home whitening, custom-fitted trays hold professional whitening gel against the teeth while you complete treatment according to the instructions provided by our dental team.
The main differences are treatment time and convenience. Philips Zoom! In-Office Whitening is completed at Progressive Dental and is ideal for patients who want to brighten their smile in a single visit.
Custom take-home trays allow you to complete your whitening treatment at home over a period of days. Because the trays are made specifically for your teeth, they provide a comfortable, closely fitted way to apply professional whitening gel.
Our dental team can help you decide which approach makes the most sense based on your current tooth shade, desired results, timeline, and personal preferences.
Professional teeth whitening is generally considered safe when performed or supervised by a dental professional. Before recommending whitening, our team can examine your teeth and gums and determine whether whitening is appropriate for you.
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during or after whitening. If you have sensitive teeth, existing dental restorations, or other concerns, let our team know so we can recommend the most appropriate approach.
