Teeth Whitening in Lawrenceville, NJ

Whitening is priced at your personalized consultation, so you know the cost before anything starts. The exam, and a cleaning if your teeth need one, come first and are often covered: we accept PPO plans and most carriers, including CIGNA, MetLife, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Delta Dental and GEHA Connection Dental. No Medicaid, DMO or HMO plans accepted. Whitening itself is cosmetic, so plans don’t usually cover it; 0% financing through Cherry and in-house membership plans are available.

For most people, yes. Strips use a milder gel worn for weeks and don’t reach every surface evenly; Philips Zoom uses a professional-strength gel, activated in the office with your gums protected, for up to 8 shades brighter in a single visit. Your teeth are checked first, so you don’t spend money whitening stains that won’t respond.

Philips Zoom, done in the office. Your gums and lips are isolated, a professional-strength Zoom gel is applied and activated with the Zoom light, and the whole visit is supervised by the dental team.

Say so when you book, and the visit is planned around it. Your teeth and gums are checked first, exposed roots on receding gums are looked at before any gel goes on, and your gums and lips are shielded. Any cold sensitivity during or after the visit typically passes quickly.

Yes. Whitening usually needs no numbing, and the gel never touches your gums or lips. If dental visits make you anxious, nitrous oxide, oral sedation and IV sedation are available, given by Dr. Godko himself, and the team speaks English, Ukrainian and Russian.

Up to 8 shades is the top of the range. Yellow teeth and surface stains from coffee, tea and wine respond best; brown or gray teeth respond less, stains inside the tooth don’t respond (porcelain veneers cover those), and crowns, veneers and fillings keep their shade. Your starting shade is noted at the check, so you can see exactly how far your own teeth came.

Mostly habits: coffee, tea, red wine, soda and tobacco bring stains back sooner, while brushing, flossing and regular cleanings keep your smile bright for longer. When the shade starts to dull, a repeat in-office visit brings it back.
