This is How It Works:

After a brief cleaning, a peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth. Following the application, ultraviolet and blue visible light is used to activate the gel, accelerating the laser process by penetrating the teeth.

The Zoom light is applied in three 15-20 minute intervals. You will see the results immediately.

You may notice that after treatment, your teeth will be slightly drier, and in the next few days, your natural saliva will reduce the teeth whitening slightly.

Can Everyone Get Zoom?
The best person to ask is your family dentist if you are a good candidate for Zoom. The first step is for the dentist to examine your teeth to make sure no serious conditions, such as cavities or decay, are already present. Other things to consider include time factors, comfort level, and pricing options for the Zoom process.

After the Zoom Treatment
For the first day following the treatment, you should avoid any sort of staining food or beverages such as coffee, tea, and cigarettes. Your dentist will give you trays for brief follow-up refreshers.

Zoom is a quick and successful way of getting a teeth makeover. Teeth whitening has been proven to increase confidence in people. Teeth whitening through products such as Zoom offer a simple and safe method of initiating a positive change for you.

It’s Zoom!

The most important factor about Zoom teeth whitening is that it is a whitening procedure under the supervision of a dentist. While many home treatments can be effective, when it comes to caring for your teeth, being under the care of a dentist, specializing in Zoom, is the safest and most reliable option.

There are so many factors that lead to the staining or yellowing of teeth, including cigarettes, coffee, tea, wine, and other foods and beverages. Teeth whitening strips away years of staining and gives a younger, fresher appearance to your teeth.

A big benefit to Zoom is that is fast. Plus, this treatment is long-lasting shown to be safe and effective. The Zoom results are immediate, leaving you with a sparkling smile in under an hour. When compared to other methods such as strips, home treatment trays and gels, or pastes, Zoom whitens teeth far faster and several shades lighter.

For persons who do not have a lot of time, or are uncomfortable with repeated dental procedure, Zoom is particularly advantageous because it only involves just one treatment. You can get this procedure done in a lunch hour!

If you are thinking of getting your teeth whitened and don’t have the time to invest to do it at home or even in an office, consider Zoom. Wayzata Dental & SmileSpa is a Plymouth cosmetic dentistry that works with Zoom. We can get your teeth nice and bright . . . just in time to ring in the new year.

There are many whitening products on the market at present, and Zoom is up in the top five when it comes to being effective. Cost-wise, it is slightly more expensive than over-the-counter products, but Zoom is a superior strength product and does need the services of a dental professional to apply. Products purchased over the counter or through mail order are much weaker in strength, so they will require multiple treatments to obtain the same effect – the end result is that you will most likely pay less for the same level of whiteness if you visit your dentist for treatment.

The Zoom procedure is a bleaching process and, as mentioned, it does use a very strong solution. Some people do experience a side effect known as a ‘zinger’. This is a sudden shot of pain running through a tooth – called a ‘zinger’ because it only lasts a fraction of a second. Most people manage to get through the treatment without this effect.

Zoom is very effective and can take the color of your teeth back to almost pure white. Some patients notice a slight change back in color, only a shade or two, in the weeks following treatment. Others will report that their teeth continue to whiten a shade or two. In many cases, you will be given follow-up bleaching trays that you can use at home. How you use these may well effect the continued color change.

The one thing that all patients who have gone through a Zoom whitening process agree on is the considerable improved change in color of their teeth. The process takes around an hour or so and is done in the dentist’s office. Interested? Discuss the process with your dentist.

White teeth does indicate one concept – you care about your teeth. Let’s face it, your teeth don’t stay white unless you look after them well, particularly in the tooth brushing department. Either that or you spend a lot of money each month on whitening agents – but then, why would you when brushing costs less and takes less time?

The use of a good quality toothpaste and a good quality toothbrush is necessary if you are going to keep your teeth as white as possible. However, like everything to do with our bodies, age does start to have its effect. This is where your dentist can help. Although your teeth may not be heavily stained, a Zoom Whitening treatment can certainly bring those teeth back to looking like new.

While you’re at the dentist, get them to give all of your teeth a thorough examination. If there are any problems then they can be fixed before you undertake the treatment. Once your teeth have been given the all clear and you have completed the Zoom Whitening processes, you will be able to say “my teeth are not only white, they are perfectly healthy as well.” And don’t forget to smile; it’s the only way to prove it.

If your teeth do have stains, you can undergo any of the many teeth whitening treatments available at the dental clinic. Let’s look at some of the popular whitening procedures.
