Your smile is important as it is one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. With Zoom! nothing whitens better or faster. In as little as an hour you can achieve a whiter, brighter smile with Zoom! whitening. Cause of Tooth Stains If your teeth are opaque and thick, you have an advantage because they appear lighter in color, show more sparkle and are more responsive to bleaching. Teeth that are thinner and more transparent have less of the pigment that is necessary for bleaching. Common causes of teeth staining include: * Eating habits
* Smoking habits
* Drugs/chemicals
* Grinding
* Trauma Food particles are naturally attracted to a tooth's enamel by a certain protein. Foods and drinks like coffee, tea, berries and soy sauce are notorious for staining teeth. Over time, teeth become more absorbent and vulnerable to staining from food and other substances. There is a direct correlation between your age and tooth color. As a result of wear and tear, your teeth begin to darken. Teenagers appear to experience immediate, dramatic results from whitening because as people reach their twenties, the teeth begin to show a yellow cast, which requires more effort for whitening. How Zoom Whitening Works Zoom is an advanced, in-office bleaching process that is widely used around the world to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin. The complete Zoom whitening procedure takes approximately an hour, but a regular teeth cleaning is recommended before your treatment can begin. Your dentist will begin by covering your lips and gums, leaving only the teeth exposed. Next, the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel will be applied, which works together with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration. The gel will remain in place for approximately 15 minutes while the light is activated. During this time you can relax and watch TV in your treatment room. The Zoom gel will be applied for three 15 minute sessions of light activation to give you the smile you desire. Once the sessions are complete, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to your teeth to lessen or eliminate tooth sensitivity.
