A Brief Overview of Zoom!® Whitening
Every year consumers spend millions of dollars on tooth whitening strips, gels, toothpastes, and procedures in attempt to achieve whiter teeth. The fact is, not all tooth whitening products and procedures are created equally. Some work and some are a complete waste of time and money. The Zoom!® whitening procedure is one of the effective ways to whiten teeth.
Many people turn to Zoom!® whitening because it can deliver results in just one hour. Naturally, because Zoom!® whitening is a procedure performed by your dentist it is more expensive than buying an over-the-counter tooth whitening product. However, the Zoom!® procedure is far more effective at whitening teeth than most of those over-the-counter products.
Zoom!® whitening is done by your cosmetic dentist and it can require one or several visits to achieve the desired results. The Zoom!® procedure begins with your dentist applying a special tooth whitening gel to your teeth. After the gel is applied the dentist will set you up with a special light that is aimed at your teeth. The light is used to activate the gel that was applied. Once activated the gel breaks down stains on your tooth enamel and teeth whitening occurs.
The Zoom!® procedure delivers whitened teeth that have a natural and appealing shade. Unlike many over-the-counter products Zoom!® whitening does not over whiten or discolor teeth. Certain OTC teeth whitening products can actually cause the teeth to turn an unnatural shade of white and may even cause tooth and gum sensitivity.
The Zoom!® whitening procedure is very safe and does not damage teeth or gums. In fact, many patients benefit from the Zoom!® procedure and report better gum health post procedure. However, the Zoom!® procedure is not suited for everyone. Only a dentist can determine whether or not your suited for the Zoom!® whitening procedure.
