Beautiful, white teeth are the foundation of a great smile. Unfortunately, teeth can become yellow or stained over time from consuming different foods or beverages along with additional factors such as smoking or even some medications. The good news is that teeth whitening is a process by which almost everyone can have white teeth. And teeth whitening that is done under dental supervision is faster, more consistent, longer lasting and gives better results than whitening that is done by other methods.

For instance, the Zoom! Chairside Whitening System takes a total of ninety minutes in the dentist’s office, gives immediate results, and on average whitens teeth up to a maximum of eight shades or whatever is needed to obtain the desired results. In comparison, at-home whitening trays take seven to fourteen days, don’t give immediate results and whiten a maximum of six shades. Whitening strips and toothpaste take up to thirty days and whiten anywhere from one to four shades.

By examining your teeth to ensure that no cavities or gum disease exists, your dentist can determine whether you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. If you are…the Zoom! Chairside Whitening System is so fast that you can have it done during your lunch break and return to the office with whiter teeth and a prettier smile.

The benefits of the Zoom! Chairside Whitening System are many:

– It is fast and convenient.
– The results are long lasting.
– The process produces very little teeth or gum sensitivity.
– It is proven to be safe and effective.
– The procedure is performed by a dental professional.

The Zoom! System uses a combination of 25% hydrogen peroxide gel which is a powerful, but gentle whitening agent, in conjunction with the Zoom! Advanced Power Lamp that activates the gel. Together, the gel and the lamp produce a 48% whiter smile immediately after application than with a process that uses gel alone. This light-assisted, in-office tooth whitening system uses a “high output, sodium-free, short-arc bulb lamp” that breaks down hydrogen in the gel to remove stains in a safe and gentle process that provides immediate, long lasting results.

The process begins with the dental hygienist covering your lips and gums with a protective rubber mouth guard so that only your teeth are exposed. The gel is put on your teeth and then the Zoom! AP lamp is applied and the gel and light work together for fifteen to twenty minutes at which time the gel is removed. This process is repeated for up to a total of three times during your ninety minute office visit to produce the results that are desired. Although a light is used in the process, there is no significant temperature change from the application of the light.

You can then be given a tray-based teeth whitening product to take home with you so that the process can be continued. The Zoom! System gives a 48% whiter smile immediately after the in-office application; 35% whiter after one week with the at-home continuation and 44% whiter after thirty days of using the dental supervised at-home whitening trays.
