Teeth can become discolored for a number of reasons. The most common culprits of yellowed teeth are coffee, tea, red wine, soda, and nicotine. Aging and taking certain medications can also lead to tooth discoloration. Zoom
tooth whitening can whiten the teeth up to 10 shades lighter in a single 45-minute session. Talk to your dentist to see how teeth whitening treatments can improve your smile.
During Your Zoom Whitening Procedure
Prior to this whitening session, a teeth cleaning with your dentist is recommended to ready your teeth for the peroxide bleach. The bleaching gel is placed on the teeth for 15 minutes at a time and activated by a special Zoom light. While you wait, you can simply relax, read a magazine, or watch TV. Following whitening, your dentist will apply a fluoride paste to the teeth to reduce post-treatment sensitivity.
After Your Zoom Whitening Procedure
Before you leave the dentist office, you are provided with a Zoom touch-up kit for home use, which includes custom-fitted whitening trays. To help maintain the effects of your whitening treatment, you should avoid consuming staining foods and beverages and smoking cigarettes.
