ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Weymouth MA
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular types of cosmetic dental treatments available. If your teeth and smile are looking less than their best due to discoloration and stains, you should consider undergoing a Zoom teeth whitening treatment.
What Is Zoom! Teeth Whitening?
Zoom is a professional teeth whitening treatment that can be performed in-office by your dentist. As few as just one chair-side treatment can whiten your teeth as many as eight shades. This FDA-approved treatment normally takes about an hour to complete.
Zoom is also available as a convenient take-home kit that you can use to whiten your teeth at home.
What Is the Process?
- Your dentist will cover your gums so that only treated teeth are exposed.
- They will apply a Zoom whitening gel containing a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide onto your teeth.
- They will use a special light to intensify the whitening process.
- Your dentist will apply more gel every 15 minutes for as long as one hour.
- Finally, your dentist will remove the whitening gel from your teeth and apply a fluoride gel to minimize any sensitivity.
What Can Cause Tooth Discoloration?
Tooth discoloration can be caused by a variety of events, such as the following:
- Smoking tobacco products
- Taking certain medications
- Drinking beverages like coffee, tea and red wine
Who May Benefit From Teeth Whitening?
Anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth and smile because of staining and discoloration would likely benefit from a Zoom teeth whitening treatment.
Some situations rule patients out for receiving a Zoom whitening treatment, such as a patient with some types of missing restorations. Consult with your dentist to determine if you would make a good candidate for this treatment.
Is Teeth Whitening Becoming More Popular?
Teeth whitening has increased in popularity over recent years. Unfortunately, many people rely upon cheap over-the-counter products that cannot match the safety and effectiveness of Zoom teeth whitening.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Professional teeth whitening is safe and effective. If you are getting treated in-office, your dental team will be on hand to monitor your treatment and ensure your safety. Some at-home whitening kits are also considered to be safe for normal use.
How Long Can the Results Last?
The answer depends upon how each individual patient cares for their teeth. Most Zoom patients experience results lasting between six months to one year.
If you want your results to last for as long as possible, avoid doing things that stained your teeth in the first place, such as smoking, or drinking coffee and tea.
What is Zoom! Take-Home Whitening Kit?
If you would prefer to whiten your teeth at home, Zoom offers a convenient take-home whitening kit, which requires two dental appointments. During the first, your dentist will create a mold of your teeth. At your second appointment, you would try on the molds, technically known as trays.
