Zoom Teeth WhiteningAt Stansell Dentistry Associates, teeth whitening is popularly requested by many of our patients. Whitening, which is done by making thorough and lasting changes to your tooth enamel, can help you get a smile that you are happier with. Instead of mere surface stain removal, Zoom teeth whitening can get your teeth multiple shades whiter than they used to be. How Do I Know If Teeth Whitening Is Right For Me?The first thing you should do is to determine if teeth whitening is a good choice for you. We recommend that you make an appointment with us so that we can comprehensively look at your teeth to determine your dental health. Our dentists will examine your lifestyle habits and oral hygiene to determine if whitening will benefit you. Through this process, we can see if Zoom teeth whitening is the best technique for you. In addition, if you are preparing for other cosmetic dental procedures, such as composite bonding or veneers, we may recommend whitening for you from the start. What Makes Zoom Teeth Whitening Effective?Although there are multiple other ways to whiten your teeth, what makes Zoom teeth whitening unique is the use of ultraviolet light. Through this method, Zoom enhances the special teeth whitening gel and can push it deeper into your tooth enamel for more effective stain removal. The ultraviolet light has the added benefit of being able to reach all of your teeth simultaneously, and it filters out infrared energy, which exposes your teeth to less heat than other whitening procedures. Zoom is also a quick procedure that can be completed over three 15 minute treatments. This is significantly faster than traditional whitening techniques and permits you to return to your routine much more quickly. Zoom Compared To Other Teeth Whitening MethodsZoom has many advantages over other teeth whitening techniques. Laser teeth whitening uses infrared energy and peroxide gel to accomplish a similar effect, but the intense heat can risk leading to nerve damage. Porcelain veneers are another alternative that requires much more intensive dental work as a layer of your enamel is permanently removed so that the veneer stays bonded to the surface of the tooth. Bleaching trays can also whiten your teeth, but their requirement that you wear them for an hour or two per night for up to two weeks can be an unwanted disruption to your routine that is simply not a concern if you choose Zoom. What To Do After The Zoom AppointmentOur goal with teeth whitening is to help you get the smile that you want. Consequently, after each Zoom session, we can adjust the ultraviolet light or add more whitening agent to match your preferences. When finished, we will thoroughly clean your mouth and then give you a list of food and drink to avoid for the next 48 hours until you have fully recovered from the procedure. We will also recommend that you avoid smoking, as the pellicle that protects your teeth from surface staining needs time to grow back to keep your new smile as white as possible for as long as possible.
