Zoom® Teeth Whitening
Having a smile that looks bright, white, and beautiful is a sure way to make a lasting impression on someone. Of course, there are plenty of reasons why your smile might not look its whitest. That’s one reason why we get so many patients at our Worcester cosmetic dentistry center. By getting great cosmetic dental care, you can achieve a smile that looks exceptional in just a single visit. Let’s take this opportunity to look at Zoom® teeth whitening and why so many people feel that it is a great dental care treatment.
Causes of Tooth Discoloration
There are many different things that can cause tooth discoloration to occur. Some of the most common reasons for dental staining include:
- Smoking
- Chewing tobacco
- Red wine
- Coffee
- Tea
- Soft drinks
- Beets
- Medications
- Injury to the tooth
- Tooth Decay
It should also be noted that certain medications can cause tooth discoloration as one of their side effects.
The Problem with At-Home Whitening Solutions
To deal with many of the above matters, people often consider at-home teeth whitening treatments. These at-home teeth whitening treatments may be effective to a small degree, but they are nowhere near as effective as the dental bleaching treatments offered by a Worcester cosmetic dentist. Professional-grade whitening such as Zoom® uses much stronger bleaching agents that require professional supervision.
About Zoom® Teeth Whitening
Zoom® teeth whitening is one of the most advanced dental bleaching systems available today. During one Zoom® teeth whitening session, patients experience substantial brightening of their smile. In most cases, smiles are whitened several whole shades.
Ideal Candidates for Zoom® Teeth Whitening
The best candidates for Zoom® teeth whitening are people who are in generally good dental health but have teeth that are stained or discolored. Stains that originate from within the interior structures of the tooth cannot be treated effectively by Zoom® teeth whitening, however, which is why a comprehensive examination will be required before determining if a patient is fit for treatment.
The Zoom® Teeth Whitening Procedure
The first step of Zoom® teeth whitening treatment is to clean the teeth thoroughly. Once this is done, the dentist carefully applies the special hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel to the patient’s teeth. This bleaching agent is then exposed to a special light that activates and enhances the whitening effects. This procedure is repeated two more times, with the total procedure time lasting about an hour.
Other Options for Enhancing the Beauty of Your Smile
In addition to Zoom® teeth whitening, patients can also benefit from the aesthetic enhancements provided by dental bonding and porcelain veneers. If you have teeth that are crooked or uneven, this can be addressed through the use of Worcester Invisalign® treatment. During your visit, we will discuss potential smile makeover options if you are interested.
