Zoom! Whitening – Lasting Teeth Whitening Results that are both Safe and Effective

without comments

While there are several teeth whitening procedures, both clinical and over the counter, that are currently available to interested consumers, none work like the Zoom! Whitening procedure. Zoom! Whitening is a safe, effective teeth whitening procedure works to whiten patient’s teeth with lasting results. This treatment is fantastic because in just over an hour, patients can experience teeth that are drastically whiter and brighter. For those who are currently hiding dingy, yellow colored teeth, the time to find a lasting solution is right now. When searching for effective teeth whitening procedures, consider Zoom! Whitening for lasting teeth whitening results.

The Zoom! Whitening procedure is effective because it utilizes a breakthrough dual barrel chemistry that is specifically engineered to accelerate whitening efficacy in two different ways. First, the Zoom! treatment utilizes a breakthrough surface-action agent technology for improved gel penetration, and second, it helps to control the activation of Hydrogen Peroxide for whitening. This innovative whitening formula creates an activation matrix that helps to regulate the release of oxygen during treatment in order to provide optimal results.

When undergoing the treatment, patients should expect that the procedure will begin with a preparation period that will then be followed by one hour of bleaching. Once the bleaching is complete, a five minute fluoride treatment will end the session (for best results, a cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! Whitening session). Depending on your personal preference, and the level of whitening you wish to achieve, you can choose whether you want to undergo the Zoom! treatment in office, or take advantage of the Zoom! Whitening take-home system.

Undergoing the Zoom! Whitening treatment at your cosmetic dentist’s office will have you seeing whiter teeth in about an hour; once the bleaching is complete, the results are pretty much instantaneous. The treatment will begin when your dentist covers your lips and gums so that they are not affected by the treatment. The Zoom! Gel is then applied to your teeth after which a light source will be applied which will penetrate your enamel and work in conjunction with the active ingredients in the gel to break apart and remove stains. Undergoing three 15 minute sessions (all will be completed in one single visit) will help to maximize efficacy for a smile that is shades brighter. Patients simply can’t beat a forty-five minute treatment that gets teeth at least 6 shades whiter.

If you opt to utilize the Zoom! Whitening take-home gel, you will apply the gel for an application period of four to eight hours. A recent study showed that after just three nights of use, individuals can achieve an average improvement of up to six shades whiter. However, it is important to know that individual results have been known to vary. Consult with your dentist before beginning treatment in order to determine how many applications are right for you. Zoom! Teeth Whitening, whether at home or in office, is a fast and easy way to achieve the brighter, whiter smile you’ve always wanted.

Laser Dentistry – How the Procedure Works

without comments

No one soon forgets that apprehensive feeling of sitting in the waiting room of the dentist’s office. Hearing the whirl of the drills, knowing that no matter how much novocain they give you…you ‘feel’ like you can still feel it. For those men and women who are weary of climbing into ‘the chair’, laser dentistry may be a great alternative. Patients treated with laser dentistry techniques have found that their cavities can be filled quickly and painlessly, gum disease can be remedied in minutes and teeth whitening has never been easier. For those who usually avoid the traditional dentist at all costs, laser dentistry can finally be your answer to a healthier, whiter smile.

Cavity Removal: Cavity removal is one of the dental procedures that patients are most hesitant about. For some, having cavities filled can be a painful and terrifying experience, but laser dentistry has changed all this. Non-invasive laser technology has been developed to remove all decay within a tooth as well as prepare the surrounding enamel for bonded fillings both quickly and painlessly. During treatment, the laser energy targets and dissolves unwanted bacteria found within the cavity; a great alternative when weighed against the picking and drilling of traditional cavity removal. The lasers used during this treatment are so advanced and so precise, they are even capable of detecting cavities in their earliest stages. This allows dentists to stop cavities before they start.

Periodontal: Periodontal, or gum related dental care has greatly advanced due to laser dentistry technology. If not continually taken care of, over time tartar can do real and lasting damage to the gums. It initially causes swelling and bleeding which eventually leads to the gums weakening and pulling away from the teeth. These empty spaces then fill with bacteria which results in gum disease. Dentists treat active gum disease with lasers by targeting and removing the disease-causing bacteria in the spaces between the gums and the teeth. Traditionally this is a very painful procedure that requires considerable recovery time but laser technology has significantly reduced the amount of pain and down-time associated with periodontal procedures.

Laser Teeth Whitening: There aren’t many teeth whitening procedures available to consumers today, most are over the counter remedies that only provide temporary results. Laser teeth whitening is a revolutionary new cosmetic dentistry procedure that is changing the way individuals whiten stained and discolored teeth. The procedure is very simple—a whitening gel is applied to the teeth and then the laser light is passed over the treatment area in order to target this gel. When the laser light is applied to the gel, it activates small crystals within that penetrate through the tooth enamel in order to effectively break up stains. Treatments usually take about an hour, but will depend on each individual’s level of discoloration. This is an innovative treatment that has allowed men and women to have whiter, brighter smiles for years.

Whether you are in need of a simple cavity removal or a major whitening procedure, laser dentistry can provide the relief that you are searching for. Do some research and find out how each procedure works because laser dentistry is quickly becoming a revolutionary way to provide safe and effective dental care for all patients. Patients that have undergone laser dental procedures are happier with their results, but more importantly, are no longer afraid to go to the dentist!
