A Brighter Smile in Under an Hour — At Either of Our Two Locations
Your smile is one of the first things people notice — and one of the easiest things to improve. At Champagne Dental Care, Dr. Hitzel offers professional teeth whitening in Clearwater and St. Petersburg, FL, with two proven options: ZOOM!® in-office whitening for dramatic same-day results, and custom take-home kits for patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule.
Both options deliver results that over-the-counter strips simply can’t match – safer, faster, and significantly more effective.

Why Professional Whitening Beats Store-Bought
Drugstore whitening strips and toothpastes contain low concentrations of whitening agents — limited by law for over-the-counter sale. The result is slow, uneven whitening that rarely delivers the brightness most people are looking for.
Professional whitening at Champagne Dental Care uses clinically proven, high-concentration whitening gels applied under controlled conditions, delivering:
- Results 3–8 shades brighter in a single session
- Even, consistent whitening across all visible teeth
- Less sensitivity than prolonged use of OTC products
- Longer-lasting results — up to 2 years with proper maintenance
- Safe application supervised by Dr. Hitzel at every step
ZOOM!® In-Office Whitening — Results in Under an Hour
ZOOM!® is the gold standard of professional, in-office teeth whitening — and one of the most requested cosmetic treatments at both our Clearwater and St. Pete offices.
How it works:
Dr. Hitzel applies a specially formulated hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. A ZOOM!® AccuWhite™ light is then positioned over your smile, activating the gel and gently penetrating the enamel to break up deep stains and discoloration. The process is repeated in three 15-minute sessions — all within a single appointment.
What to expect:
- Results visible immediately — up to 8 shades whiter in one visit
- Total chair time: approximately 60–90 minutes
- Mild sensitivity is normal for 24–48 hours after treatment
- Results last 12–24 months depending on diet and oral hygiene habits
ZOOM!® is ideal for patients preparing for a wedding, reunion, job interview, or anyone who simply wants the fastest possible result.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Understanding why teeth stain helps you maintain your results longer. The most common causes include:
- Food and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sodas are the leading culprits
- Tobacco use — cigarettes and smokeless tobacco cause deep, stubborn staining
- Age — enamel naturally thins over time, revealing the yellower dentin underneath
- Medications — tetracycline antibiotics and some antihistamines can cause intrinsic staining
- Trauma — a past injury to a tooth can cause internal darkening
- Fluorosis — excess fluoride exposure during childhood can cause white spots or brown streaking
Whitening is highly effective for extrinsic (surface) stains from food, drink, and tobacco. For intrinsic staining from medications or trauma, Dr. Hitzel may recommend porcelain veneers or dental bonding as a more effective alternative.
Teeth Whitening + Cosmetic Dentistry — The Complete Package
Teeth whitening is often the first step in a broader smile transformation. Many patients at our Clearwater and St. Pete locations combine whitening with:
- Porcelain veneers — for chips, gaps, and permanent discoloration
- Dental bonding — to correct minor cosmetic issues in one visit
- Clear aligners — to straighten and brighten at the same time
- Cosmetic dentistry — for a complete smile makeover
