Teeth Whitening
At Shodhan Dentistry, we know that your smile is a valuable asset. It’s one of the first things people notice about you. Having a beautiful smile can do wonders for your overall health. Our dental family believes that everyone deserves a magnificent smile. This is why our dental office provides cosmetic dentistry treatments. One of the popular treatments is Zoom!® Teeth Whitening.
What is Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Zoom is a fantastic teeth whitening system that’s both safe and effective. The whitening is a bleaching treatment that lightens any enamel or dentin discoloration.
The Teeth Whitening Procedure
The Zoom! Teeth Whitening is an in-office treatment. The procedure generally takes about 90 minutes. This time entails the prep, whitening, and removal of the whitening solution. The great thing with Zoom! is that you can relax to either music or tv during treatment.
The actual procedure consists of using a Zoom! Light. This light activates the hydrogen peroxide inside the whitening solution on your teeth. The hydrogen peroxide solution will break down from the light. This breakdown process will then allow oxygen to enter your tooths enamel and dentin. The cleaning solution then helps bleach any colored areas.
Our office provides an in-home solution as well. We understand that every patient has unique needs. So we do our best to accommodate.
Is Zoom Right For You?
Do you want whiter teeth instantly? Are you a heavy smoker, or coffee and wine drinker? If your answers are yes, then Zoom Whitening can be an excellent solution for you.
What Causes Teeth To Stain Or Become Yellow?
Different things can cause your teeth to stain and become yellow. Common reasons are:
- Tobacco Use – heavy smoking will quickly yellow teeth. These stains are difficult to remove with brushing.
- Acidic Foods – These foods, such as sauces, curry spices, sodas, and berries, have a tendency to stain teeth.
- Certain Antibiotics – specific antibiotics like tetracycline can stain teeth. Especially if you took then before the age of 8, according to the National Institute of Health.
- Certain Beverages – acidic drinks such as teas, coffee, and sodas will cause heavy staining.
- Enamel Thinning – thinning of your enamel exposes the dentin underneath. This exposed dentin is yellow-brown in color. Teeth grinding will speed up enamel thinning.
Is Zoom Teeth Whitening Safe?
Zoom teeth whitening under the supervision of an experienced dentist is very safe. For many dentists, teeth whitening is the safest cosmetic dentistry treatment. Our office doesn’t recommend Zoom! Whitening for kids under the age of 13 and pregnant or lactating women.
Are There Any Drawbacks with Zoom?
Like all dental procedures, there can be potential drawbacks. Even though teeth whitening is a conservative treatment, some may experience sensitivity. Though low, a small percentage of patients may experience gum irritation. At Shodhan Dentistry, our cosmetic dentist in Yucaipa will perform a thorough exam. Our team will assess your overall oral health. We want to make sure that you will be the right candidate for the whitening procedure. These are the main reasons why teeth whitening should be under the supervision of a dentist.
