In-Office Teeth Whitening

Who Is a Good Candidate for Zoom! Teeth Whitening?

Teeth are exposed to many different substances over decades of use, and some foods and beverages can leave unsightly stains and discoloration upon them. Most stains are intrinsic, meaning they are located beneath the enamel, or extrinsic, meaning they are located on the surface. Zoom! teeth whitening can lift stubborn stains and discoloration and leave the smile up to eight shades whiter with a single appointment that takes about an hour. The process is noninvasive and painless without anesthesia, so it can be an excellent option for virtually any patient.

How Does ZOOM! Whitening Work?

All whitening solutions have one thing in common: they use either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide to bleach your teeth. However, not all whitening solutions are the same. Unlike other brands, ZOOM! whitening solution causes little or no tooth sensitivity, and it contains a higher concentration of peroxide than at-home kits to give you quicker, more noticeable results.

What is the Process for In-Office ZOOM! Whitening?

After you and one of our experienced dentists have decided ZOOM! whitening is right for you, the process goes as follows:

• Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and polished to remove debris and plaque buildup.
• We isolate your teeth with a retractor, gauze, and a barrier to protect your gums and tissue from the solution.
• We apply the whitening solution to the front surfaces of your teeth.
• We shine a special light onto your teeth to activate the whitening agent.
• After some time, we check your teeth’s progress, reapplying a coat of solution as needed.
• When the whitening treatment is finished, we rinse your teeth and may treat them with fluoride to help with any sensitivity, although you likely won’t need it.

Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

• Limiting your intake of foods and beverages that cause stains and discoloration. A few examples include coffee, tea, cola, red wine, berries, dark sauces, and candies with dyes.
• Practicing excellent oral hygiene by brushing, flossing, and using antibacterial mouthwash every day.
