"I've tried whitening strips and toothpaste with barely any results."
"I have an event coming up and want a brighter smile fast."
"I don't know if in-office whitening is actually worth the cost."
"My teeth look yellow no matter how well I brush."
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. We'll give you an honest read on the results you can expect, and get you a visibly brighter smile in a single visit.
We protect your gums, apply the whitening gel to your teeth, and activate it with a specialized light in short cycles. Most patients see several shades of improvement by the time they leave.
For most patients, yes. Professional Zoom whitening uses a stronger, more consistent formula applied under supervision, so it works faster and more evenly than store-bought strips or whitening toothpaste, which mostly address surface stains and can take weeks to show modest results.
It depends on your habits. Coffee, red wine, and smoking can cause new staining faster, but most patients enjoy their results for several months to over a year. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your smile long term.
The difference is usually dramatic and visible immediately after treatment. Ask us to walk you through before-and-after examples from real patients at your consultation, so you know what kind of result is realistic for your smile.
No weeks of waiting for gradual improvement — you leave with a visibly brighter smile the same day.
Zoom's formula is stronger and more effective than anything you'll find at the store.
Every tooth gets the same professional treatment, unlike DIY methods that often whiten unevenly.
Our team protects your gums and monitors the process closely from start to finish.
A wedding, a big photo, a job interview — Zoom whitening fits into a single appointment before your big moment.
Since whitening isn't covered by insurance, we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry to help make it accessible.

Best dental office I’ve ever visited! Great staff and atmosphere! They also offer a great program for keeping your smile white and bright! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental care!
I’ve been a patient of Bright Smile Dental since 2009 and cannot say enough good things about the staff. They are by far the best dental team I’ve ever had in my life and I would recommend them to anyone for anything from a cleaning to a crown. They have helped me perfect my smile at a pace that I can afford, and have even thrown in free whitening treatments. They have been tenacious at getting things approved through my insurance companies and helping get the procedures that I need covered. Thank you, Bright Smile!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Cheung’s for almost 10 years. He and his staff are very professional and thoughtful, they gave me a whitening kit as a wedding present! I highly recommend Bright Smile Dental!
Everyone at Bright Smile is very friendly and welcoming! The office is new, very clean, and top notch! They offer snacks and refreshments while you wait along with free WiFi! Dr. Cheung and his staff take great care of their patients and make the whole experience very comfortable and easy! I have had several procedures over the last few months with Dr. Cheung, including teeth cleaning, teeth whitening, a cavity filled, and Botox, and I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a great dentist!

Bright Smile Dental, led by Dr. Jerry Cheung, offers professional Zoom teeth whitening for patients throughout Powell and the greater Columbus area, with over 950 five-star Google reviews and visible results in about an hour.
Zoom is a professional, in-office whitening system that uses a specially formulated whitening gel activated by LED light to break down stains. It’s designed to deliver noticeably whiter teeth in a single visit, typically around an hour.
Cost depends on your specific case and any additional treatment you’d like alongside it. We’ll give you a clear, upfront quote at your consultation. Whitening is considered cosmetic, so it’s generally not covered by insurance, but financing is available through CareCredit and Cherry.
For most patients, yes. Professional Zoom whitening uses a stronger, more consistent formula applied under supervision, so it works faster and more evenly than store-bought strips or whitening toothpaste, which mainly address surface stains and often take weeks to show modest results.
The treatment itself takes about an hour, done in a single visit, so you can see a visible difference the same day.
Some patients notice temporary tooth sensitivity during or shortly after treatment, but it isn’t typically painful. Any sensitivity usually resolves within a day or two, and we take steps during your appointment to help minimize it.
It varies based on your habits, things like coffee, red wine, and smoking can cause new staining faster. Most patients enjoy their results for several months to over a year, and touch-up treatments can help maintain your smile long term.
Yes, when it’s done professionally. We protect your gums and closely monitor the process, which is safer and more predictable than DIY whitening methods.
Standard whitening treats all your teeth evenly, but a single dark tooth, often caused by an old injury or a past root canal, usually needs a different approach, like internal whitening or a cosmetic fix such as a crown or veneer. We’ll evaluate your specific tooth at your consultation.
It’s best to whiten after you finish Invisalign or braces. Your teeth are still shifting during treatment, and aligners can trap whitening gel unevenly, so waiting until your smile is in its final position gives you the most consistent result.
Teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure, so it’s typically not covered by dental insurance. We offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry to help make it more affordable.
We’re here to help you get a smile you’re excited to show off — let’s get started.
