Do you want to a brighter smile?
Zoom™® is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It's safe effective and fast, very fast. In just an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter. The convenience of Zoom™ in comparison to days of using strips or wearing trays makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.
The Zoom™ whitening procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. The Zoom™ clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom™ whitening Gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You'll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.
Questions and Answers
What is ZOOM!™ tooth whitening?
ZOOM! ™ is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.
What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.
Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Your dental professional can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment.
Do many people whiten their teeth?
More people than you might imagine. A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The ZOOM! ™ Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.
Is whitening safe?
Yes, extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.
How does ZOOM! ™ work?
The ZOOM! ™ light-activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged.
What does a patient experience during the ZOOM! ™ procedure?
During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Many actually fall asleep.
How long does ZOOM! ™ Whitening take?
The complete procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. (A cleaning is recommended prior to the actual whitening session).
Are there any side effects?
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure but always dissipate.
How long do the results last?
By following the Post Whitening Care Instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were prior to the procedure. The ZOOM! ™ whitening procedure includes a take-home touch-up kit and trays that can be used whenever discoloration is notices. Most often a touch-up once a year will maintain a whiter smile that sparkles for years.
