Do you have discolored teeth? Are you often hiding your smile because you are not happy with its appearance? If so, you are in luck. With advances in dentistry, you can now easily whiten your smile with Zoom! and Day White whitening procedures. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, tooth whitening among Americans has significantly increased by 300 percent over the past five years. Teeth whitening is not for everyone, but with proper consultation with your Santa Monica cosmetic dentist, an appropriate treatment plan can be created to enhance your smile. What Causes Tooth Discoloration? The coloring of your teeth is significantly affected by your diet. Many clinical studies have shown that certain types of food can contribute to staining more than others. This often includes red wine, coffee, tea, soft drinks and some acidic foods such as oranges or vinegar. Smoking can also play a large role in the staining of teeth because the nicotine has been shown to leave brown deposits, which are gradually absorbed by the tooth, causing intrinsic stains. Additionally, if you grind your teeth at night, you can experience cracks in your teeth which can potentially cause darkening in the edges of your teeth. Accidents or damage to the teeth can also produce cracks which are vulnerable to a buildup of stains and debris. Day White Take-Home Whitening Day White is a safe, fast, and effective teeth whitening gel that contains an active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide. Day White is dispensed into custom-fitted bleaching trays provided by your dentist to ensure the most active whitening gel at the required time it is to be used. It is ideal for those who want immediate results with less wear time and maximum tooth sensitivity relief. In only 30 minutes twice a day, you will achieve the beautifully white smile that you have always desired. The advantages of using Day White include: * Gentle on gums
* Very little or no sensitivity
* Rebuilds enamel health
* Prevents cavities
* Less fade back Zoom! In-Office Whitening The complete Zoom! whitening procedure typically takes less than an hour to complete. However, regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to your Zoom! teeth whitening session. The Zoom! whitening procedure will begin with a short preparation. This involves covering your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. Your dentist will then apply the Zoom! hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which works together with the Zoom! light to penetrate the teeth and break up stains and discoloration. For approximately 15 minutes, the gel will remain on your teeth while the light is activated. During this time you can sit back and relax as your teeth begin to whiten. The gel is applied for a total of three 15-minute sessions of light activation. Immediately after the procedure is finished, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to the teeth.

Take the first step in feeling better and looking great with a brighter, whiter smile in less than an hour with Zoom! or Day White whitening.
