With advancements in dentistry, you can now brighten up your fall and winter season with available teeth whitening options. While the pharmacy contains many different types of whitening treatments you can do at home, they may not provide you with the results you desire. Instead, it is important that you visit your dentist in Wauwatosa for superior whitening results with Zoom! Whitening and Nite White. With these in-office and take home procedures offered by your dentist, you can rest assure knowing that you are receiving the best whitening treatment possible.
What is Zoom! Whitening?
In-office whitening, such as Zoom! is safe, effective and most importantly, a quick way to achieve brighter, whiter teeth. Zoom is a bleaching process that is widely used around the world to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. Your smile is important and is one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. With Zoom! Whitening, you can get your smile looking its best.
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.
