For teeth whitening Stourbridge Dental & Implant Clinic offer a variety of treatments and below you’ll find plenty of information on one of our most popular treatments – Zoom Laser Teeth Whitening
Zoom teeth whitening can be described as a patented bleaching system which lightens the enamel and dentin and eliminates discolouration. It’s considered to be an effective and fast form of teeth whitening. The procedure normally takes less than an hour to finish. Before making an appointment, the dentist usually schedules a dental examination and cleaning to ensure you do not have any prevailing dental issues which need addressing.
The Process Involved
The first step is to make sure that your gums and lips are covered. This keeps the whitening solution away from the covered areas and applies it only to the teeth. Once your teeth get exposed, a hydrogen peroxide gel is then applied to them. A special light is then directed at your teeth in order to activate this whitening gel. You’ll normally need three coats of the whitening gel during the procedure. The gel is replaced with a fresh layer around every 15 minutes.
After the final 15 minute session, a fluoride gel is applied. This gel is basically used to help reduce any sensitivity the whitening gel might have caused. Before going home, you’ll receive a Zoom teeth whitening kit to take with you. This kit includes custom fit trays and a whitening gel. We will explain to you how to use the kit effectively in order to keep your teeth whiter for longer.
How It Works
The Zoom laser whitening gel’s main active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As this hydrogen peroxide gets broken down, the oxygen enters the dentin and enamel, bleaching the stained substances whilst the tooth’s structure remains unchanged. The Zoom laser’s light activates hydrogen peroxide which helps it penetrate the tooth’s surface.
Benefits of Zoom Laser Teeth Whitening
-It is one of the fastest and most effective ways to whiten teeth. You get to see the results instantly after the procedure. It’s also a safe treatment for whitening teeth and can lighten the teeth up to ten shades.
You will get to take with you a zoom kit for more touch ups which lets you extend the period of time the treatment keeps the teeth white.
-It’s a safe procedure, which has minimal side effects. The main side effect found in any meaningful client numbers, is sensitivity of the teeth, and that’s why a special fluoride gel gets applied after the treatment. If you do still suffer from some teeth sensitivity, it’ll fade quickly.
-The treatment is highly comfortable for patients.
-The procedure is performed by a dentist who monitors the entire process.
-The gel penetrates your tooth enamel, removing difficult stains.
-Whiter teeth can boost your confidence. You’ll no longer be afraid to share your smile with the world.
