A bright, white smile is often seen as a symbol of confidence and good health, but achieving it isn’t always as simple as brushing and flossing regularly. Over time, factors like age, diet, and lifestyle habits can lead to staining and discoloration. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening treatments, like the ZOOM! Whitening System, offer a safe and effective solution for a dazzling smile.
Why Consider Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening focuses on removing stains and discoloration caused by external and internal factors:
• Extrinsic Stains: These occur on the surface of the teeth and are caused by foods, drinks (like coffee, tea, and red wine), and smoking.
• Intrinsic Stains: These are deeper discolorations within the tooth, often caused by aging, certain medications, or trauma.
Professional whitening treatments use a peroxide-based gel to break down the molecules causing discoloration. The gel penetrates the enamel and reacts with the stained molecules, breaking them into smaller, less noticeable pieces, effectively lightening the tooth's appearance.
What Sets Professional Whitening Apart?
While over-the-counter whitening kits are widely available, they often lack the potency and precision of professional treatments. At Yap Family Dental, we offer ZOOM! Whitening, a cutting-edge chairside whitening procedure that delivers safe, fast, and effective results.
The Science Behind Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! Whitening combines a powerful yet gentle whitening gel with a specially designed low-intensity light to activate the gel. This advanced system can lighten your teeth by 6 to 10 shades in about an hour, making it a convenient choice for patients looking for immediate results.
Here’s how the procedure works:
• Preparation: Before beginning, your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate for whitening. A protective covering is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening gel.
• Application of Whitening Gel: The ZOOM! whitening gel, containing hydrogen peroxide, is applied to your teeth. This gel works by breaking down the molecular bonds of stains.
• Activation with Light: A low-intensity light is directed onto your teeth, activating the gel and accelerating the whitening process. The light helps the hydrogen peroxide penetrate more deeply for thorough and even whitening.
• Final Touches: The gel is removed, and you’ll notice an immediate transformation.
Maintaining Your Results
To keep your teeth bright and white after your ZOOM! treatment, follow these tips:
• Avoid staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine
• Brush and floss daily to maintain oral hygiene
• Use a whitening toothpaste recommended by your dentist
• Schedule regular dental cleanings to prevent plaque buildup
