About teeth whitening
Teeth whitening or bleaching is a procedure designed to enhance the whiteness of teeth. Numerous options exist, ranging from over-the-counter toothpaste, rinses, strips, and gels to professional treatments and take-home kits. It's crucial to highlight that the most reliable and safe teeth whitening solutions are the professional-grade ones administered by cosmetic dentists. These systems boast a higher concentration of whitening agents and are administered under professional supervision. While over-the-counter products may suffice for individuals with healthy teeth and gums, they can pose risks if any dental issues are present.
What Should I Expect During My Zoom™ Teeth Whitening Procedure?
To be eligible for Zoom™ teeth whitening, you must first schedule a teeth cleaning appointment with our dentist in Pocatello, ID. Once your teeth are confirmed to be plaque and tartar-free, our dentists will take precautions to protect your lips and gums. The Zoom™ whitening gel will then be meticulously applied to your teeth in precise 15-minute sessions, utilizing a specialized light to activate the gel. This process can be repeated up to four times, potentially enhancing the whiteness of your teeth by 6 to 10 shades.
Introducing The Groundbreaking Zoom!™ Teeth Whitening Procedure
For best results, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning prior to your Zoom™ procedure. This highly efficient process typically lasts less than an hour.
To ensure your comfort and prevent any discomfort, we take precautions to protect your lips and gums during the bleaching process. The Zoom!™ hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is then applied to your teeth, remaining for approximately 15 minutes. Utilizing the Zoom!™ light activates a reaction that eliminates stains and discoloration. The gel's oxygen effectively penetrates the enamel and dentin, bleaching stains without altering your teeth's structure.
The Zoom™ light is used to apply the gel three times, with each session lasting 15 minutes, resulting in a total treatment time of approximately 45 minutes. Following the treatment, we apply a fluoride solution to minimize tooth sensitivity.
Revitalize Your Smile with BriteSmile Teeth Whitening
Achieving and maintaining white teeth can be challenging, especially with daily consumption of teeth-staining substances like coffee, wine, and tobacco. Despite diligent oral care, teeth can appear lackluster over time. Teeth whitening offers an effective solution to restore your natural tooth color or even achieve a brighter shade than your natural color.
At our practice, we utilize BriteSmile, a chairside whitening procedure. BriteSmile employs a safe whitening gel and low-intensity light to activate the gel, delivering impressive results. In just about an hour, this combination can whiten teeth by 6-10 shades!
