Do you want to have a great smile? Would you love to make lasting good impressions on the people around you? One sure way of doing both is getting the whitest, brightest smile possible. There are so many substances that can result in tooth stains, though, that this can be easier said than done. That's where cosmetic dentistry comes in. By undergoing aesthetic dental care, you can get a smile that's beautiful and bright again.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

So what causes teeth to become discolored? Here are some of the most common culprits:

• Cigarettes
• Chewing tobacco
• Coffee
• Tea
• Cola/soft drinks
• Curries
• Beets
• Bluberries
• Certain medications
• The natural aging process

There are many different treatments that can be used to give you that bright and winning smile, but one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments by far is Zoom! teeth whitening.

What is Zoom! teeth whitening?

Zoom! teeth whitening is a professional dental bleaching system. Patients will visit their dentist in order to receive this professional-grade care. Zoom! teeth whitening sessions last an hour or two, but even just a single session can brighten your teeth several shades.

Ideal Candidates for Zoom! Teeth Whitening

The best candidates for Zoom! teeth whitening are people who experience superficial tooth discoloration. They should be in overall good dental health otherwise. Stains that originate from within the tooth or as a result o tooth decay will need to be addressed in another fashion.

What sets Zoom! teeth whitening apart from other options?

Zoom! teeth whitening uses the latest in proprietary laser light technology and bleaching agents. This professional system is so much better than the whitening kits you can get over the counter. The secret is in how the Zoom! laser light activates the bleaching properties of the Zoom! teeth whitening gel. These kinds of results cannot be achieved without the supervision and skill of a dental care professional.

Is Zoom! really that much better than over-the-counter dental bleaching?

Yes, very much so. By visiting with a cosmetic dentist and undergoing Zoom! teeth whitening, patients will often achieve better results in one visit than a month's worth of over-the-counter teeth whitening treatment. And that's with the best possible bleaching kit available at the store.

The results speak for themselves, and we'd be happy to show you patient before and after photos that attest to this fact

What to Expect from Zoom! Teeth Whitening Treatment

During the Zoom! teeth whitening treatment, patients will sit back in the dental care suite. They'll be asked to wear eye protection just as a precaution. Once the teeth are given a basic polish, the teeth are carefully covered in the Zoom! teeth whitening gel. The laser light is applied to the teeth to activate the bleaching properties. This application of gel and exposure to light is then repeated two more times to maximize the results. If needed, additional Zoom! teeth whitening sessions can be performed to achieve the best possible results.
