Your smile is important. It's one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful - it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis ca
n contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Whitening can get your smile looking its best. Non-professional procedures and clinically unproven teeth whitening tips can often lead to unsatisfactory results, you should look for a whitening procedure that is:
- Fast and convenient
- Long lasting
- Low sensitivity
- Proven to be safe and effective
- Performed by a Dental Professional
Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. You may have seen the Zoom! process used by us on ABC’s Extreme Makeover.
The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed as little as by 45 minutes of bleaching. ()
Here are some recommendations we advise our patients to follow before having the Zoom procedure:
- A cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.
- Start using anti-sensitivity toothpaste about two weeks prior to treatment.
- Wear comfortable clothes. Even though the treatment is less than an hour long, there is a preparation period between sessions.
- During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. We encourage you to bring your ipod.
- Take a couple of OTC IB (advil, Tylenol, aleve) Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients.
By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we provide instructions to be followed after your Zoom whitening.
Almost anyone may benefit from tooth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Doctor Bluth can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.
