Dingy teeth can detract from your overall appearance, even with regular brushing and flossing. Discoloration from foods, drinks, and tobacco can be hard to eliminate even with good oral hygiene.
Zoom teeth whitening can lighten the stains and discoloration of tooth enamel, helping you achieve a brighter smile. It is best to start with a cleaning before this treatment.
Professional In-Office Treatment
Zoom teeth whitening Louisville KY offers a quick, effective treatment that lightens discolored tooth enamel to a brighter shade. It can eliminate stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco use in just one in-office visit, and it can complement other cosmetic or restorative treatments for a complete smile makeover. Unlike many OTC options, the Zoom whitening process is safe for most people and produces noticeable results within an hour.
During the whitening session, which takes less than an hour, your dentist will apply a whitening gel to your teeth and then shine the powerful LED light on them to activate it. A desensitizing gel will be applied to protect your gums, and the procedure is completely painless.
You will leave the office with a customized whitening kit and instructions for touch-ups at home, which can help your smile stay white longer. Avoid foods and beverages that stain your teeth, and brush and floss regularly to keep your smile healthy and luminous.
At-Home Treatment
A beautiful smile is a great confidence booster. While good oral health and regular teeth cleanings help keep stains at bay, some people develop discoloration over time due to age or certain foods and beverages. Discoloration of the enamel or dentin is also a common side effect from certain medications such as tetracycline and antibiotics. Our Zoom whitening procedure uses a safe bleaching process that lightens stains on the surface of the teeth.
The in-office whitening treatment takes about an hour and is completed while you relax at our office. The procedure begins with a short preparation to isolate the lips and gums, then a proprietary Zoom! whitening gel is applied and activated with a special light. The process is painless, and patients often relax and watch TV or read. Results are typically several shades whiter than the starting point. A five minute fluoride treatment is then completed to protect the tooth enamel and enhance the whitening results.
Pre-Appointment Cleaning
As you eat and drink, the tiny grooves on your teeth collect food particles and stain them over time. Good oral hygiene helps keep the worst of the discoloration away, but you may need professional help to lighten your smile to a more natural shade. Our team offers Zoom whitening, an in-office treatment that uses a special whitening solution and light to quickly brighten your smile.
The process usually takes less than an hour to complete. First, the dentist prepares your mouth for treatment by placing cotton rolls and cheek retractors. A desensitizing gel is also applied to prevent your teeth and gums from experiencing sensitivity. A concentrated whitening gel is then applied to the surface of your teeth, followed by a specialized whitening light that activates the bleaching agent and lifts stains.
Once your whitening is complete, we’ll provide you with a kit of in-home touch-up trays and whitening toothpaste to maintain the results of your dazzling new smile. Keeping up with your regular oral health routine and visiting the hygienist for your scheduled cleanings will prevent stains from reforming.
Post-Appointment Checkup
Once the Zoom whitening process has been completed, the patient will receive a touch up kit to maintain the results. During this period, the patient should avoid drinking highly pigmented drinks such as red wine or coffee and brush their teeth at least twice a day with a whitening toothpaste.
Zoom is a professional whitening treatment that uses a combination of a high-intensity light and a specialized whitening gel to bleach away surface stains. It is a safe and effective way to achieve a whiter smile in just one session.
During the appointment, a dentist will first remove any visible stains from the teeth and then apply the whitening gel to them. They will then shine the whitening light on them to activate the solution and help it penetrate deeper into the enamel. Afterward, they will rinse the teeth and perform a fluoride treatment to protect the enamel. They may also give you a protective mouthguard to wear during the session to prevent the gums and lips from being exposed to the whitening solution.
