Benefits Of Zoom Teeth Whitening

Fast Results

If you have some slight tooth discoloration, then we will paint a whitening varnish onto the surface of your teeth. Then we will apply a quick-drying sealant and wait 30 minutes. After 30 minutes have passed we will wipe away the varnish and reveal your noticeably whiter teeth.

If you are someone who has severe tooth discoloration, then we might have to break up your treatment into 3 sessions that will last 15 minutes. Instead of the procedure listed above, we will apply a whitening gel to your teeth, and then shine a special lamp onto your teeth to accelerate the teeth bleaching. This light works to break down the hydrogen peroxide in the gel in order to lift the tooth stains and whiten your teeth.

Now depending on the amount of tooth discoloration, we may recommend porcelain veneers or other cosmetic dentistry options over Zoom whitening. For example, professional teeth whitening may not be the best choice for discoloration caused by dental fluorosis (mottled teeth caused by excessive fluoride intake).Getting dental veneers would be able to cover the front of your teeth giving you a confident smile.

Once the procedure is over, you will get a special care package so you can relieve pain and maintain your white smile from home.

The Zoom! teeth whitening process is quick and effective. The results will show immediately and is able to remove stubborn stains and drastically brighten yellowed teeth.

Whitening Your Teeth at Home

Depending on the extent of your tooth discoloration, we may be able to give you supplies that you can take home to whiten your teeth. If you fall into this situation then we will take an impression of your teeth creating a custom whitening tray. Having this whitening kit at home will allow you to whiten your teeth whenever it is convenient for you. No having to rearrange your whole schedule for treatments.

Perfect for Sensitive Teeth

If you have sensitive teeth then you will still be able to have Zoom whitening. The whitening gel and varnish used is formulated to not irritate your teeth and gums. Now you may experience some “zingers” or brief flashes of pain during treatment. If you are willing to experience some temporary discomfort for the benefit of whiter teeth then you might give Zoom a shot. You should also keep in mind everyone has different pain tolerances and different experiences. Just because one person has had a negative experience doesn’t you will have the same reaction to Zoom whitening.

If you do have sensitive teeth, then we are willing to work at a pace that’s comfortable to you. This way, you can feel comfortable and in control of your treatment plan.

The Zoom! Whitening Procedure
