Zoom! Teeth Whitening Process
Quick and efficient, the complete Zoom! whitening procedure takes less than an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom teeth whitening session. The whitening procedure begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. Your dentist will then apply the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. The whitening gel works together with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration.
The gel will remain on your teeth for approximately 15 minutes while the light is activated. During this time you can simply sit back and relax as your teeth whiten. The gel is applied for a total of three 15-minute sessions of light activation. Immediately after the procedure is finished, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to the teeth.
To help maintain the whitening effects of your Zoom! treatment, your dentist may advise you to avoid certain foods and beverages, or to consume them in moderation to avoid staining your teeth again. This often includes tea, coffee, red wine, cola and many other dark beverages. In addition, tobacco is strongly discouraged because it will stain your teeth even after whitening treatments. It's often suggested that you quit smoking if you have not already. It is important to maintain a proper oral hygiene regimen to prevent stains from reforming, in addition to visiting your dentist regularly for scheduled teeth cleanings.
Take Home Whitening Kits
At-home whitening kits are a convenient way to achieve a brighter smile in privacy and on your own schedule. When you choose an at-home whitening kit, impressions are made of your teeth for custom whitening trays. To ensure the best results, your dentist provides you with detailed instructions for dispensing the whitening gel and wearing the custom-fit trays. When you wear the whitening trays for one hour a day for approximately two weeks, you can see up to six shades of improvement.
The benefits of using take-home whitening kits for a brighter smile are numerous, which is why these have quickly become a popular choice among patients wanting to improve the appearance of their teeth. With take-home whitening kits you can enjoy the convenience of whitening your teeth at your own time in the comfort of your own home. You can also choose the best time and place to whiten your teeth that best meet your individual needs, rather than making a dental appointment.
