Zoom Teeth Whitening

Before we introduce you to Zoom teeth whitening, we must discuss the causes of teeth discoloration. Discussion of the causes of teeth discoloration is important because the root cause of discoloration often determines if you’re a suitable candidate for in-office teeth whitening treatment.

The following are some of the leading causes of teeth discoloration:

• Foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, wine, cola, etc.
• Smoking or chewing tobacco.
• Poor oral hygiene, leading to the accumulation of plaque and tartar.
• Diseases and infections that affect the enamel.
• Medications like tetracycline and doxycycline.
• Wearing away of the enamel due to old age.
• Intrinsically discolored teeth due to genetics.
• Exposure to excessive fluoride.
• Dental trauma that affects or wears away the enamel.

As you can see, teeth discoloration may occur for a wide range of reasons. Generally speaking, in-office professional teeth whitening only removes the surface stains from your enamel, so it will treat discoloration caused by foods and drinks. However, professional teeth whitening — even Zoom teeth whitening — isn’t suitable for intrinsic stains caused by genetics or the wearing away of enamel.

Zoom is the best professional teeth whitening procedure used to remove or minimize the discoloration of enamel and dentin. During the Zoom teeth whitening procedure, the dentist uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate and catalyze the hydrogen peroxide Zoom bleaching agent. The light breaks down the hydrogen peroxide, allowing oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin, bleaching them and removing all the surface stains.

• Initial Consultation: Before the Zoom whitening procedure, the dentist will examine your teeth to determine if Zoom teeth whitening is suitable for your teeth. The dentist will examine and identify the root cause of your discoloration to determine if you need teeth whitening or another cosmetic dentistry procedure.
• Preparation: The Zoom teeth whitening procedure will begin with the dentist covering your lips and gums, so only your teeth are exposed. Following that, the dentist will apply the hydrogen peroxide Zoom whitening gel to your teeth.
• Light Activation: The dentist will use Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate and catalyze the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. As the special light breaks down the hydrogen peroxide molecules, the oxygen enters your enamel and dentin to break down all of the surface stains. The dentist will let the light remain on the whitening gel for 15 minutes.
• Repeat: After 15 minutes, the dentist will stop the light and give you a little break. The Zoom whitening gel will be applied again after a short break for another 15 minutes. This procedure of applying the gel, shining the Zoom light, and waiting for 15 minutes will be repeated thrice. As such, you’ll have to get through three 15-minute Zoom teeth whitening sessions.
• Fluoride Application: After the Zoom whitening procedure, the dentist will apply a fluoride paste over your teeth to minimize sensitivity.

• It’s the most effective professional teeth whitening procedure.
• Zoom whitening gel is completely safe and non-toxic, unlike many over-the-counter whitening gels.
• Zoom teeth whitening causes some sensitivity, but the dentist applies a fluoride paste over your teeth to minimize discomfort.
• The entire procedure concludes within an hour or two hours at most.
• Zoom teeth whitening brightens your teeth by up to 8 shades in a single session.
• You can see the results of Zoom dental whitening immediately.
• The effects of Zoom teeth whitening may last up to 6 months or more.
• Zoom is the ideal professional teeth whitening for sensitive teeth.
