For a significant lift of up to eight shades in a one session, we recommend Zoom! Whitespeed Zoom is our preferred teeth whitening product for its effectiveness and ability to lighten teeth with minimal sensitizing.
Brushing regularly with whitening toothpaste cannot remove all of the staining left behind, from tea, coffee, red wine and tobacco. Even berries can cause discoloration of our teeth. Zoom! Whitespeed can lift excess residual staining, not successfully whitened by toothpaste and store bought whitening products.
Yes. Teeth whitening products used at home can remove some degree of discoloration, but for more noticeable results, a professional process is required. The carefully applied dental product has the ability to remove even deeper staining from enamel, providing a lighter, brighter result.
Some patients with sensitive teeth can experience mild sensitivity to teeth whitening, though overall, this is a painless process, usually taking around 45 minutes to an hour. No anesthetic is required. If you have any concerns or fears associated with having this procedure, talk to us about how we can diminish your anxieties and support you through the process with a number of different aids.
Prior to applying Zoom! Whitespeed, the dentist will ensure the teeth are clean and dry and properly prepped for best results. A protective shield is placed over the gums, and the patient wears protective eyewear. Zoom! whitening gel is carefully applied to every exposed surface of the teeth, and activated with Zoom! Whitespeed LED blue light. The treatment is generally expected to last 30-45 minutes, with the whole process usually taking no more than an hour.
Apart from possible mild sensitivity, there are no adverse side effects to having teeth whitening. The benefits of having teeth whitening are significant. The teeth are deep cleaned beforehand, ensuring there is no calculus around the teeth, so your results are healthy and bright. Teeth whitening can brighten the whole face, to achieve a lighter, more youthful appearance. Patients enjoy increased confidence in their smile, providing a boost to both our personal and professional personas.
The dentist will provide you with all of the information needed to ensure your new lightened color will stay lifted. This is a good time to reassess eating and drinking habits, to eliminate as many foods and drinks as possible that can lead to teeth staining. We want you to keep your smile bright and white for as long as possible. With good brushing and care taken to avoid the causes of staining, many patients will not need to repeat the process for several years.
As a cosmetic procedure, a teeth whitening treatment is not usually covered by dental insurance plans. Let us help you manage the cost, through establishing a prepayment account, or finding out if you are eligible for CreditCare, or our in-house financing.
The next step is to make an appointment and we will examine you and advise you if you are safe to have tooth whitening.
