If your teeth are stained, dull or discolored, the in-office procedure Zoom! can help to restore the brightness of your teeth. The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or other various factors such as tobacco. Teeth whitening has become one of the safest and most popular dental procedures you can undergo. Zoom! is an in-office whitening procedure that is supervised by your dentist. Home kits may also be an effective option, but no other whitening option guarantees fast and accurate results for your smile like Zoom! The Zoom! Whitening Procedure After a brief cleaning, your dentist will cover your lips and your gums so that only your teeth remain exposed. Once your gums and lips are covered, the Zoom! whitening gel, which is specially designed to be used in conjunction with the high intensity light, will be applied to your teeth. The combination of the Zoom! high intensity light and the gel penetrate your teeth to safely break up your discoloration or stains on your teeth. The whitening gel will be applied to your teeth in three different treatment sessions. The entire procedure will take less than an hour. With Zoom! you will see the results immediately, making this whitening solution the preferred choice by many patients looking for a quick solution for a brighter smile. What Causes Teeth Discoloration and Stains? One of the biggest factors that lead to stained teeth is your diet. Clinical studies have shown that certain types of food in your diet can contribute to staining more than others. Red wine, coffee, tea, soft drinks, oranges and some acidic foods like citrus fruits or vinegar can contribute to the stains on your teeth, especially with repetitive consumption. There are several other causes of tooth discoloration that include: • Certain foods and drinks such as coffee and fruits
• Tobacco
• Poor dental hygiene
• Disease
• Medications
• Advancing age
• Genetics
• Trauma If you make a few simple lifestyle changes, you may be able to help prevent teeth discoloration. Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly will help immensely in protecting and maintaining a healthier, whiter smile. Additionally, regular cleanings and check-ups with your dentist will help improve your teeth, as well as diagnosing any problems that may be present. As you age, your teeth are prone to becoming stained or discolored. Zoom! whitening is a safe, effective and quick way to achieve brighter, whiter teeth.
