What is Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Zoom Teeth Whitening is a teeth whitening process that
lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.
What causes discoloration
of teeth?
There are many causes. The most common include aging
and consumption of staining substances such as coffee,
tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During the formation
of teeth, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics
or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.
Who may benefit from Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Almost anyone. However, Zoom Teeth Whitening may not
be as effective or some as it is for others. Your dental
professional can determine if you are a viable candidate
for this Zoom Teeth Whitening through a thorough oral
exam, including a teeth shade assessment.
Do many people whiten
their teeth?
More people whiten their teeth than you might imagine.
A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference
for everyone. The Zoom Teeth Whitening System makes
it easier and faster than ever before.
Is teeth 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 teeth whitening
the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with
any teeth whitening product, Zoom Teeth Whitening is
not recommended for children under 13 years of age and
pregnant or lactating women.
How long do Zoom Teeth Whitening results last?
By following some simple post teeth whitening care instructions,
your teeth will always be lighter than they were before.
To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend
flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom Teeth Whitening
Toothpaste.
Is there any difference
between over-the-counter teeth whiteners and Zoom Teeth
Whitening
Yes! Consulting your dental professional is always the
first step to whitening your teeth safely. Plus, over-the-counter
teeth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes
take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few
shades. Zoom Teeth Whitening is clinically proven to
whiten your teeth eight shades in one hour. Only a dentist
can get your teeth this white, this fast.
How does the Zoom Teeth Whitening In-Office System work?
The Zoom light-activated teeth 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. The Zoom Teeth Whitening light
aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it
penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown
that use of the Zoom lamp increases the effectiveness
of the Zoom Teeth Whitening gel by 33% or more, giving
an average improvement of eight shades.
What does a patient experience during
the Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure?
During the Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure, patients
may comfortably watch television or listen to music.
Many actually fall asleep. Individuals with a strong
gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing
the entire procedure.
Are there any side effects to Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity
to cold during the Zoom Teeth Whitening treatment. These
symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after completion
of the teeth whitening treatment.
How is exposure to the
Zoom Teeth Whitening light controlled?
The Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure requires that all
soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The
clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure
any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected.
Protective eyewear is required during the teeth whitening
procedure. Light sensitive individuals including those
undergoing PUVA (Psoralen+UV Radiation) therapy or other
photo-chemotherapy, as well as patients with melanoma,
should not undergo the Zoom In-Office procedure. Also
patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances,
whether over-the-counter, prescription or homeopathic,
should consult their primary physician prior to procedure.
How long does Zoom Teeth Whitening take?
The complete Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure takes just
over an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation
period followed by one hour of whitening with Zoom Teeth
Whitening. A five minute fluoride treatment completes
the procedure (a cleaning is recommended prior to the
actual Zoom Teeth Whitening session).
