ZOOM Teeth Whitening![]() At Smile Makers Dental Center, we strive to ensure you restore your lost smile in the most effective and simplest way. That explains why we have invested in Zoom, and we have a team of experienced dentists tasked with handling Zoom teeth whitening procedures. Zoom™ Whitening ProcedureBefore you get started on Zoom teeth whitening, a regular teeth cleaning will be done. The procedure begins with coverage of the gums and lips, letting the teeth be exposed. Whitening gels containing at least 25 percent hydrogen peroxide will then be applied. Its task, together with the Zoom light, is to penetrate the teeth, breaking any stains and discoloration. The gel will remain on the teeth for at least 15 minutes as light is activated. The whitening gel will be applied three times, each for a 15 minute session, totaling 45 minutes. However, patients suffering from anxiety or a strong gag reflex are advised against receiving the Zoom teeth whitening procedure. Sensitivity-reducing fluoride will thereafter be applied to the teeth. Maintaining Zoom Whitening EffectsOur dentists will give you a Zoom home use touch-up that comprises custom-fitted whitening trays. Ensure you follow the instructions, especially on how and when to use the touch-up kit. Our dentists will advise you to avoid certain beverages and foods or take them in moderation to prevent teeth staining. Smoking will always stain the teeth even after undergoing Zoom teeth whitening. Our dentist will recommend that you stop smoking and maintain proper dental hygiene by flossing and brushing on a regular basis. You will have to use toothpaste and mouthwash that contain whitening agents to help maintain Zoom teeth whitening results. Our dentist will also advise you to eat a healthy diet. Frequent dental checkups will help in detecting any dental issues. Am I a Zoom Teeth Whitening Candidate?Do you always feel self-conscious when it comes to teeth discoloration? Then you need to schedule an appointment with our dentist. Our dentists will carry out a dental checkup and inform you if you are a Zoom teeth whitening candidate. If you have a history of gum disease or tooth sensitivity, that will not disqualify you from receiving the Zoom teeth whitening treatment. Is Home Zoom Teeth Whitening Possible?Yes, it is possible to perform Zoom teeth whitening at home. Our dentist will provide you with a Zoom teeth whitening kit. This will enable you to whiten your teeth right from your home at your best preferable time. Successful Zoom teeth whitening will depend on how quickly the patient wants results and the degree of tooth discoloration. Our dentist will walk you through all of the available choices and advise you on the best available option based on your needs. How Long Will the Zoom Teeth Whitening Results Last?Zoom teeth whitening results do last for quite some time. The results are dependent on the patient's diet together with the oral hygiene they practice. When excellent oral hygiene is maintained, and beverages like red wine and coffee are avoided, Zoom teeth whitening results can last between three to five years. Don't let discolored teeth dull your beautiful smile.
