Teeth Whitening That Lasts: What to Expect
We have developed a teeth whitening system that delivers longer-lasting, whiter results compared to standard teeth whitening treatment. The whitening process should take about an hour but you should plan to be here for 90 minutes.
After a teeth cleaning, we will cover your mouth and gums with a protective film. Then we will apply the special hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to your teeth. We will use a special light that interacts with the gel to activate the whitening process. When activated by the Zoom light, the gel penetrates the teeth to lighten stains and discoloration.
After the teeth whitening treatment, we will remove the coverings and apply a fluoride gel to minimize tooth sensitivity. After receiving a list of certain things to avoid for a few days, you get to leave with a whiter, brighter smile!
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Am I a candidate for Zoom teeth whitening?
Practically anyone will benefit from professional teeth whitening. Zoom teeth whitening is suitable for teenagers and adults 13 years and older. The cosmetic dentist will complete an examination prior to treatment to ensure that Zoom whitening is right for you.
How long does Zoom teeth whitening last?
The long-term results of professional teeth whitening depend on the individual. Certain habits, such as the use of tobacco products, drinking a lot of coffee, tea or soft drinks can work against the results. Regular professional care and use of the touch-up whitening gel will help maintain the results indefinitely.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Some patients report mild tooth sensitivity following Zoom teeth whitening treatment. Our cosmetic dentistry team takes steps to minimize sensitivity during and after treatment through the use of special pastes. Generally, tooth sensitivity subsides in 1 to 3 days following professional teeth whitening.
How much does Zoom teeth whitening cost?
Zoom teeth whitening costs vary somewhat based on the individual patient. We offer competitive prices for Zoom teeth whitening compared to other Baltimore dentist offices. Before your treatment begins, we will discuss zoom whitening costs.
How long does it take to whiten teeth with Zoom?
The teeth whitening procedure with Zoom takes 45 minutes on average.
What maintenance do I need after Zoom teeth whitening?
After Zoom whitening patients should not brush their teeth right away. They may rinse with water, but should avoid eating or drinking any brightly colored food and drinks that may stain their teeth.
Should I brush my teeth after Zoom whitening?
We recommend that you continue to brush your teeth following a professional zoom teeth-whitening procedure. Brush your teeth with a soft bristle brush to be gentle on your teeth and gums.
What should I avoid after getting teeth whitened?
After teeth whitening we recommend avoiding any staining or dark drinks or foods. Tea, coffee, red wine, cola, and tomato juice, and ketchup are all examples of dark colored things that can stain. Soft drinks, fruit juices, and alcohol may also cause staining after whitening.
What Causes Tooth Discoloration?
Tooth can become discolored from a variety of conditions:
- Smoking and Tobacco Products. Tar and nicotine found in tobacco products create stubborn stains on teeth. Tar naturally darkens enamel, and nicotine causes teeth to become yellow, so years of smoking or tobacco use can cause increased discoloration.
- Foods and Drinks. Certain fruits, coffee, tea, and soda contain color pigments called chromogens. These pigments attach to and stain tooth enamel.
- Medication. Certain antihistamines, antipsychotics, and high blood pressure medications may darken teeth.
- Age. Over time, the outer layer of tooth enamel thins and wears away. The yellow dentin layer underneath enamel can show after years of wear and tear.
- Trauma. After an injury, teeth can lay down more dentin and discolor teeth. Chips and cracks in teeth can also cause discoloration.
