Here’s how Dr. Anastasiya’s precise conducts her teeth-whitening treatment process.
Dr. Anatasiya or a member of her team will examine your mouth to confirm that your teeth are ready for treatment. That means checking for cavities, plaque, or gum disease. A free X-ray may be taken, and this is when you'll discuss your color and brightness goals.
All plaque and tartar are removed with a professional teeth cleaning before the gel is applied.
Any crowns or bridges are noted at this stage, since bleaching agents don't change the color of restorations.
A protective guard is placed over your gums and lips to keep the gel where it belongs.
A high-concentration hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel is applied to your teeth. For Zoom treatments, a special light activates the gel, accelerating the process.
The gel stays on for roughly 15 to 30 minutes while results are monitored. Once Dr. Philip confirms everything is progressing well, the gel is reapplied. After about two hours, it's removed, and your mouth is rinsed. A fluoride treatment may be applied to reduce any post-treatment sensitivity.
A brighter smile does more than improve how you look. So why choose in-office care over a store-bought kit?
In-office treatment can brighten your teeth in under an hour. Store-bought kits usually take multiple sessions just to show a visible difference.
Your dentist reviews your current shade, notes any restorations, and sets a realistic target before the first pass. You go in knowing exactly what to expect.
All specialists work under one roof, so your care stays coordinated from start to finish. No referrals across the city, no conflicting instructions.
Your periodontal surgeon, endodontist, oral surgeon, and cosmetic dentist are all here, working together on your care. No more referrals, no more running around.
Open 9 AM to 7 PM weekdays and 9 to 5 all weekend. Book same-day appointments online.
You know what you'll pay before treatment begins. Most insurance is accepted, 0% financing is available, and there are no surprise costs.
No gimmicks. No outdated methods. Evidence-based dentistry focused on long-term results.
A modern office with clean design and current technology, closer to a SoHo studio than a traditional dental clinic.
Smile Lab in Union Square is built around one idea: dental care that puts patients first, backed by current technology and an experienced team.
Dr. Philip has performed brightening treatments for over a decade. Her goal is simple: to see more New Yorkers walking around with smiles they're proud of.

Stubborn staining is one of the most common things patients come to Smile Lab to fix. The results are fast, the process is safe, and the difference is visible.
This type of care works especially well for:
Yes. Dr. Philip runs a full exam before every session to screen for cavities, plaque, and gum disease. Protective shields cover your gums and lips throughout to prevent irritation. Treatment is performed under direct supervision at every stage.
With proper care, results last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Cutting back on coffee, red wine, and tobacco, and keeping up with routine visits, extends how long your brightness holds.
Most patients see 5 to 7 shades of improvement in a single in-office session. Your starting shade and goals affect the outcome, and Dr. Philip sets realistic expectations at your first exam.
In many cases, same-day or next-day appointments are available for both new and existing patients. Book online or call (332) 237-6453, and the team will find a time that works for you.
In-office Zoom treatment uses high-concentration agents for results in roughly two hours. Take-home kits use dentist-fitted trays and professional-grade gel for gradual improvement over one to two weeks. Your dentist helps you choose based on your timeline, lifestyle, and budget.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums qualify. It’s not the right fit for people with severe enamel erosion, active gum disease, or certain restorations. If chips or gaps are the main concern, porcelain veneers may be a better starting point. Dr. Philip confirms candidacy at your free consultation and designs a plan that’s safe for your specific situation.
In-office Zoom treatment at Smile Lab starts at $350. An extended two-hour session runs an additional $150. Custom take-home kits are priced at your free consultation. Across NYC, professional care generally runs $300 to $1,000 depending on the method. Your exact price is confirmed before treatment begins.
