This dental practice is friendly, personable, professional and takes time to provide comforting details. And I had the best teeth cleaning that I can ever remember having. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I feel I am in good hands with Dr. Sarah. She is gentle, kind and informative. She has the energy of a healer. The staff is wonderful. They even give you a heated neck pillow and a blanket for your comfort and relieve any anxiousness one might have being in the dentist chair.

Stacy Russo is the very best dental hygienist I’ve had! She’s thorough, efficient, and has a wicked sense of humor woven into the mix. She apologizes if she hurts me, and quickly continues her work. With one eye on the clock, she finishes on time. Every time. I hope she never retires (sorry Stacy)! ❤️❤️❤️

Stacey is a fantastic hygienist. I've been seeing her for 25 years as has my husband. Dr Frahm has owned this practice for 3 years. She is very caring. Matter of fact, the entire staff is top notch. They are all caring, pleasant and diligent. I highly recommend this dental practice.

This is, hands down, the VERY BEST DENTIST I have ever experienced in my entire life! And I say that with emphasis. Immediately just by walking into the office, it's already different. And the way every single person treats you, it almost feels like it's out of a movie. It doesn't seem real. Almost too good to be true...

In-Office Whitening vs. Professional Grade Whitening Kits

Your options for teeth whitening include one-hour, in-office whitening or a custom take-home whitening kit. Both options require out-of-pocket payment. Take-home whitening is less costly than in-office whitening. Each treatment is customized to help you achieve beautiful result.

In-Office Whitening

  • Results are immediate.
  • Uses high concentration of peroxide to whiten teeth quickly.
  • Provides deeper whitening for stubborn stains.
  • Can lighten teeth up to 10 shades in an hour.
  • Requires take-home whitening treatment to maintain.
  • Administered by a registered dental assistant.

Custom Take-Home Kit

  • Produces gradual results, over 1-2 weeks.

  • Uses mid-level concentrations of peroxide to whiten teeth over course of treatment.

  • Lifts stains on surface of teeth, and in between teeth.

  • Can lighten teeth up to 8 shades over time.

  • Requires occasional maintenance treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental treatments available. It’s a quick and easy way to enhance your smile without a major investment.

At-home whitening takes longer. Is some cases, take-home whitening causes gum irritation or enamel damage, when not applied correctly. In-office treatments like Zoom deliver noticeable results in about an hour.

Teeth whitening works best on natural tooth enamel. If you have porcelain crowns, veneers, or composite fillings on your front teeth, those materials won’t respond to whitening. We’ll walk you through cosmetic options to maintain a bright smile.

With Zoom or Sinsational Smile, most patients see noticeable results in one visit — often up to 10 shades brighter. Take-home kits show results gradually over a few weeks.

Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening System

ZOOM is a fast, effective, and safe way to brighten your smile. With the ZOOM teeth whitening system, we use a high-powered, whitening solution and a patented light system to whiten your teeth up to 10 shades in about an hour. When administered by our expertly trained care team, ZOOM’s state-of-the-art system quickly removes enamel stains.

ZOOM works best for patients who have little or no dental work on front teeth and only whitens tooth enamel. Unfortunately, tetracycline-stained teeth, porcelain, and composite materials will not whiten or become more brilliant with ZOOM. The only way to whiten tooth-colored materials is to replace them, which we are happy to help with too.

Teeth Whitening Options

Dr. Frahm knows you want to make the right choice for your health and appearance, which is why we offer our patients two high-tech options for teeth whitening:

  • For a more gradual result, we provide custom, take-home, teeth whitening kits. We only use professional brands exclusive to dental care professionals, ensuring the best outcome for you.
  • If you prefer immediate whitening results, we often recommend Sinsational Smile or ZOOM. Both are in-office whitening treatments that take an hour or less to perform.
