Learn About ZOOM!® Teeth Whitening
Make sure to finish any dental treatments before whitening your teeth for the best results. For example, get a teeth cleaning before a whitening treatment. If you haven’t had a hygiene appointment in a while, plaque and tartar have most likely built up on your teeth. You should make sure your teeth are in great shape before going through the teeth whitening process.
Whitening, while plaque and tartar are still present, can deliver subpar results. Also, take good care of your teeth leading up to your whitening appointment. The better shape your teeth are in, the more likely your results will not need toughing up.
While it’s easy to find whitening toothpaste and drugstore treatments to whiten your teeth, nothing will have the same effect as ZOOM!® whitening. This is one of the most effective methods that drastically upgrades the whiteness of your teeth. The system lifts stains and discoloration, leaving little to no impact on your gums, which is a concern for many patients.
Our Dallas dentist first applies concentrated hydrogen-peroxide-based teeth whitening gel to your teeth. Then he uses a UV light for between 45 minutes to one hour to activate the bleaching agent. We carefully execute the process to maximize whiteness and minimize sensitivity after treatment is complete.
The ZOOM in-office teeth whitening procedure has four main steps:
- First, we will clean your teeth and prepare them for treatment. This will involve our dentist putting a layer of advanced whitening gel on your teeth.
- We will shine an LED lamp on your teeth to speed up the whitening process of the gel.
- The dentist will repeat the process three times. This step will be over in about 45 minutes to one hour.
- When we reach the desired shade, we will apply a post-treatment solution to your teeth. The solution will protect your enamel and reduce temporary sensitivity.
Our take-home teeth whitening kits are easy to use. We will provide you with whitening strips to use for an hour each day for five days straight. Just like with in-office whitening, make sure your teeth are clean and in good health before to using our whitening strips.
Yes, whitening strips are available at your local corner drugstore. However, the ones our Dallas dental office provides will contain ingredients to maximize your teeth whitening results. After the five days of whitening are complete, it will take a few more days for the final shade to set in.
Will whitening work better for certain patients than for others? Genetically, some people’s teeth have a greater level of yellow tint. In contrast, the yellow of others’ teeth may result from years of built-up stains from coffee, dark sodas, or tobacco use. Regardless of where the yellow tint in your teeth comes from, ZOOM whitening can remove it.
