What Is Zoom! Teeth Whitening?

Tooth whitening of a few shades after only one session

What Is Zoom

Zoom! teeth whitening method is aimed at removing both surface and inner stains from enamel and dentin. In the procedure a special whitening gel is spread over the teeth, and then it is activated by a UV light (the light used is Zoom! Advanced Light). This light breaks down the hydrogen peroxide within the gel at a faster pace thus aiding in stain removal.

With this method you can get a tooth whitening of a few shades after only one session at the dentist. Such treatment is efficient in stain removal e.g. coffee, tea, smoking, and even age-related stains. The whitening effect will vary depending on the initial color of the teeth and the degree of pigmentation. One may experience heightened tooth sensitivity, but only temporarily, after most dental whitening procedures.

What Can Cause Tooth Discoloration?

Teeth get discolored from all sorts of things outside the tooth itself

  • Like as people get older, the enamel wears down a bit, and that shows the yellowish dentin underneath, so everything looks darker overall.
  • Foods and drinks play a role too, especially the staining ones. Coffee, tea, those kinds of stuff, red wine or even berries, they leave marks on the surface that build up over time.
  • Smoking is another bad one, or chewing tobacco, it leaves these permanent pigments that are hard to get rid of.
  • Then there are medications that can mess things up, particularly if you take them when your teeth are still growing as a kid. Tetracycline antibiotics, for example, might turn teeth yellowish gray or brown, something like that.
  • Fluoride is tricky too, if you get too much during development, it causes fluorosis with white spots or brown ones on the enamel.
  • Trauma to a tooth, especially when youre young, can damage the inside pulp and make it darken up. I think thats pretty common but not always obvious.
  • Diseases that affect the enamel, or problems with treatments, they can lead to discolorations as well, though its not always clear how.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Yes, research and clinical studies show that whitening teeth under a dentist’s supervision is safe. In fact, many dentists believe that whitening is the safest cosmetic dental procedure there is. Zoom!™ is also not an exception to the rule of any tooth whitening product. Do not use in people under age 13 or in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Do The Results Last Long?

However, if you follow some care tips after whitening then your teeth will always be whiter than the previous color. We suggest flossing and brushing twice daily with Zoom! How to get the perfect smile– Stage, whitening toothpaste, and Find your shade with Zoom! take-home gel. These are pro formula products that are specially made to maintain a bright tooth. They can be obtained by contacting our office.

h How Does The Zoom! In-office System Work?

The Zoom! The active ingredient of the light-activated whitening gel is Hydrogen Peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide breaks down, allowing oxygen to penetrate the enamel and dentin, whitening any stained material while leaving the structure of tooth unchanged. The Zoom! These wavelengths of light assist in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and penetrating into tooth surface.

Is The Zoom! In-office Procedure Painful?

No. Patients can even watch television or listen to music during the procedure. Many fall asleep. Some people may have a slight, temporary increase in tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms subside within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.
