Teeth Whitening
This is the process of lightening the color of your teeth. There are many ways in which you can do this. It is often done because, over time, teeth become yellowed for a variety of reasons. The main ingredient in most teeth whitening products is hydrogen peroxide but can also be carbamide peroxide.
What Is The Best Whitening Solution ?
Some of our patients come to us wondering why their teeth are not as white anymore, or have turned yellowish even if they don’t smoke or consume coffee or tea heavily. This is because when enamel wears away through chewing and exposure to acids from food and drink, teeth eventually turn yellow. Most teeth turn yellow as their enamel thins with age, but when combined with a long-lasting food stain, they take on a greyish hue.
There are many teeth whitening methods, such as whitening toothpastes, over-the-counter whitening strips and gels, whitening mouth rinses, tray-based teeth whitening solutions and of course, professionally administered whitening treatment at the dentist. The quickest approach to whiten teeth is professional whitening. The whitening product is applied directly to the teeth during the bleaching process. A few sessions may be required to notice results.
We offer two of the safest and most effective teeth whitening solutions that are used by dentists worldwide.

FAQ
The whitening agent, which is hydrogen or carbamide peroxide, will penetrate the enamel of the tooth to reach the discolored molecules that are inside your tooth. The discolored molecules in your teeth will react with the oxygen molecules from the whitening agent and break the bonds that hold them together. The oxygen molecules will spread whitening over the entire tooth. This will leave you with a whiter, brighter smile. Basically, it works by removing the pigment from the enamel of your teeth and whitening it from the inside of the tooth.
In a dentist office:
Using this option, you can get your teeth whiter faster. The reason is that the bleaching solution is much stronger than what is in the in-home kits. In the office, the dentist may also use a light, heat, or a combination of both to intensify and speed up the whitening process. To get results, it will generally take several 30-60 minute office visits to get the most dramatic results. This is usually three to eight shades brighter. The downside to letting your dentist whiten your teeth is cost; the price can range from $500-$1,000.
At-home:
Doing it at home is a lot cheaper and you have several choices. All of them use a peroxide-based bleaching agent.
- Strips and gels—these are applied directly to your teeth with a thin strip or brush.They need to be applied once or twice a day. It will take 10-14 days to see results and will last four or more months. The cost is $10-$55.
- Tray-based—with this method you use a mouth guard-like tray that is filled with gel or paste.The tray is then placed over the teeth several hours a day. You can use this for up to four weeks. These can be custom-fitted by your dentist or bought over the counter. The cost is $150-$500.
- Toothpaste—these kinds of toothpaste are mildly abrasive so they will help to remove stains from your teeth.They contain polishing or chemical agents that will help to scrub the stains from your teeth but do not have a bleaching agent. The toothpaste is inexpensive and will brighten your teeth by one shade. There may be some that do contain peroxide but since you rinse your mouth after brushing, it is not left on the teeth long enough to benefit whitening your teeth.
Make sure that you use the right products because inferior products can do more harm than good. Also, make sure that you are following the directions correctly on home-whitening systems. Inferior products or if used the wrong way can lead to burned gums or even temporary bleached gums. To help ensure that you are not using inferior teeth whitening products also look for the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance. If you choose products without this seal, you may be getting some treatments that have a higher level of bleaching agent than is safe.
This is a quick and effective way to whiten your teeth in a short period of time; as short as one hour. When you use home whitening kits it can be weeks or even months before you see results and even then, your teeth may not be as white as if you had them done professionally. To use this method of teeth whitening, it has to be done by your dentist.
One of the main reasons that you should get it done professionally is that it is safer and it works very quickly. They can use different techniques and stronger bleaching agents. The treatment will also last longer. Having it done professionally by your dentist will help to make your teeth whiter and brighter. The dental trays are also customized for each patient so they fit correctly and are comfortable. They will also cover what they are supposed to, which is your teeth. If you do not want to get it done at the dentist’s office, you can do it at home using those customized dental trays. If you are one that has sensitive gums, the dentist will be able to help you avoid irritating your gums with custom-fitted dental trays. As you can see, whether you do it at home or the dentist’s office, they will ensure that the dental tray fits to avoid any problems, unlike the at-home systems that have dental trays that may or may not fit your mouth correctly.
Teeth whitening is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth (no fillings) and healthy gums who would like a brighter smile. Patients with yellow tones to their teeth respond best.
Before deciding whether Zoom in-office teeth whitening is right for you, your dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure proper health, as well as talk with you about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits to determine if you will benefit from whitening. This will help you and your dentist agree on the whitening product or technique that’s best for you.
Your dentist also may require you to undergo whitening if you are planning other cosmetic dental procedures, such as veneers or composite bonding, in order to ensure a better match between the restoration and your natural dentition, or after the removal of braces. Depending on the condition of your teeth and your goals for changing the look of your smile, whitening may not be your best option.
During your consultation and evaluation, your dentist also will note existing dental work, such as crowns and veneers, which will not respond to conventional whitening agents.
The complete procedure takes less than an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom teeth whitening session. The procedure begins with a short preparation to cover the lips and gums, leaving the teeth exposed. The dentist or dental assistant then applies the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which works together with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration. The gel remains in place for 15 minutes while the light is activated. During this time, you can relax, watch TV or listen to music.
The gel is applied for three 15-minute sessions of light activation, for a total treatment time of 45 minutes. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. Immediately afterwards, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to the teeth.
To help maintain the whitening effects of your treatment, your dentist may advise you to avoid certain foods and beverages, or consume them in moderation to avoid staining your teeth. This includes tea, coffee, red wine, cola, etc.
Additionally, tobacco products will stain teeth, even after whitening treatments. As such, your dentist will suggest you quit using them. Maintain an appropriate oral hygiene (brushing and flossing) regimen to prevent stains from reforming, and see your dentist and hygienist regularly for scheduled teeth cleanings.Toothpastes containing whitening agents also may be suggested by your dentist to maintain the results of the procedure.

– boosts your self confidence
– enhances your appearance
– minimizes the look of wrinkles
– doesn’t break the bank
Whitening treatments can be effective on both extrinsic and intrinsic staining.
Whitening may not be an option for all patients, for example, in people with tooth-colored restorations.
Safe and effective whitening options are available for in-office applications, dentist-supplied products for use at-home and over-the-counter whiteners.
We all like the look of clean, sparkling white teeth. But, realistically, the brightest and whitest teeth may not be achievable for everyone. Before you begin a tooth whitening regimen or undergo a laser whitening treatment, such as Zoom Teeth Whitening, it’s important to temper your whitening expectations so that you that the outcome is aligned with a reasonable whitening potential based on your current oral health, existing dental work and/or habits.
