Nothing freshens up your appearance like a whiter, brighter smile. Tooth whitening is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Since having a whiter smile has not become the number one aesthetic concern for most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. Almost anyone can benefit from tooth whitening. However, there are some cases where the treatment may not be effective. Your dentist in Honolulu will determine if you are a viable candidate for the whitening process through a thorough oral examination and diagnosis. Tooth whitening is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have a whiter, brighter smile. Zoom! In-Office Whitening Zoom! whitening is a bleaching process that is widely used around the world to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. The Zoom! in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom! Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening, which is said to accelerate the bleaching process. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. The complete Zoom! whitening procedure takes less than an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended before your whitening session to provide the best results. Your whitening procedure begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving the 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 the stains and discoloration. The Zoom! gel will remain in place for 15 minutes while the light is activated. During this time you can sit back and relax while the Zoom! gel whitens your smile. The gel is applied for three 15 minute sessions of light activation, for a total treatment time of 45 minutes.
