Get ready to Zoom!
The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System will make your teeth dramatically whiter in less than an hour. The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. Your dentist then applies the whitening gel, which was designed to be used with a specially designed light. The light and gel work together to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discolouration. With proper care your smile will sparkle for years.
Take your first step to feeling good, looking great and making a memorable impression every time you smile.
Alternative forms of tooth whitening are available, for example custom made home bleaching kits.
Frequently Asked Questions About Zoom!
Q: What is Zoom! tooth whitening?
A: Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloured enamel and dentine. You may have seen the Zoom! process used on ABC’s Extreme Makeover.
Q: How long does Zoom! Chairside Whitening take?
A: The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed as little as by 45 minutes of bleaching.
Q: How does the Zoom! Chairside system work?
A: The light activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As this is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentine, bleaching coloured substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the gel by 26% or more, giving an improvement of up to eight shades.
Q: What will I experience during the Zoom! Chairside Procedure?
A: During the procedure, patients may comfortably listen to music. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. Please feel free to discuss this during your consultation.
Q: How long do the results last?
A: By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily with a whitening toothpaste. If you wish occasional touch-ups can be arranged through your dentist.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate. We recommend that you use anti-sensitivity toothpaste after treatment.
Q: What causes tooth discolouration?
A: There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, certain antibiotics, or excessive fluoride intake may cause tooth discolouration.
Q: Do many people whiten their teeth?
A: More people than you might imagine. A bright sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.
Q: Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
A: Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Your dental professional can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment. Please note that if you have crowns or veneers at the front of your mouth, these will not lighten with any tooth whitening procedure and therefore they will need replacing after treatment.
Q: Is whitening safe?
A: Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.
