Why Teeth Become Discolored

Teeth can become stained or discolored for many reasons, including:

  • Tobacco use
  • Consumption of dark beverages such as red wine, coffee, tea, and cola
  • Natural aging processes
  • Prescription medications

While numerous over-the-counter whitening options exist, such as strips, toothpastes, and take-home gels, many are ineffective. Zoom!® offers several advantages:

  • All teeth are treated simultaneously
  • Faster treatment times
  • Longer-lasting results
  • Reduced sensitivity
  • Removes stains on crowns, veneers, and other restorations
  • Safe, professional procedure
  • Administered by an experienced dental professional

It is important to consult your dentist before starting any bleaching treatment. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid whitening procedures.

How Zoom!® Works

Zoom!® whitens teeth by bleaching both the enamel and dentin. The active ingredient in the gel is 25% hydrogen peroxide. When applied, the peroxide breaks down into oxygen bubbles that eliminate stains and yellowing.

A specialized mercury metal halide light activates the gel, accelerating the whitening process while minimizing heat and sensitivity. This ensures the internal structure of the teeth remains healthy and intact.

Results vary based on the severity of discoloration and overall tooth condition. Zoom!® is only applied to healthy teeth and gums; any existing decay or gum disease must be addressed prior to whitening.

The Zoom!® Procedure

Before treatment, a consultation will outline the process. On treatment day, a professional cleaning removes debris and plaque, followed by protective measures including special eyewear and splashguards.

Steps of the Zoom!® procedure include:

  1. Placement of cheek retractors to expose all teeth
  2. Protection of gums to reduce sensitivity
  3. Application of the whitening gel
  4. Activation of the gel with the halide light for 15 minutes
  5. Removal of gel and rinsing the mouth
  6. Application of gel for a second 15-minute session
  7. Removal and cleansing again
  8. Final 15-minute application of gel
  9. Final removal of gel

After Treatment Care

To maintain your bright smile, follow these post-treatment measures:

  • Floss once daily
  • Brush twice daily with anti-sensitivity toothpaste
  • Occasional retreatment with Zoom!® Weekender as recommended

These steps help ensure long-lasting results and prevent future staining. For more information about Zoom!® Chairside Whitening, please consult your dentist.
