What To Expect During Zoom Advanced Whitening

We get the appeal of over-the-counter teeth whitening kits. They are convenient, can provide fast results, and you can apply the treatment in the comfort of your home. But all this can cost you dearly when it comes to the longevity and effectiveness of your treatment. Not to mention, if not used exactly as prescribed, it can affect your teeth too. 

Fortunately, there is a way to get professional teeth whitening without the hassle of multiple visits. 

Enter Zoom Advanced Whitening. 

What Is Zoom Advanced Whitening Treatment? 

As the name suggests, Zoom treatment can provide faster results than your typical professional whitening treatment. More often than not, a short, 45-minute appointment is more than enough to make your smile up to eight shades whiter. 

How the Treatment Works

Here's what to expect during your Zoom Advanced whitening treatment: 

  • Preparation: First, Dr. Bobbio will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they're healthy enough for the treatment. If everything looks good, she will then clean your teeth to remove any surface stains and plaque.
  • Protection: Dr. Bobbio will apply a barrier like a rubber dam or special coating painted onto your gums to protect them from the whitening gel. 
  • Whitening: The dentist will then apply the whitening gel to your teeth. She will then use the Zoom light and direct it toward your teeth to enhance the action of the whitening agent. This light-activated gel penetrates the enamel and dentin in your teeth to remove deep stains and discoloration.
  • Rinsing: After only 15-20 minutes, the gel is removed and your teeth are rinsed. This process can be repeated 2 or 3 times within the same appointment, depending on the level of whitening you want to achieve. 
  • Finishing Touches: Once the final rinse is complete, Dr. Bobbio may apply a fluoride paste-gel to your teeth to reduce sensitivity. 

A More Convenient Teeth Whitening Treatment 

As you can see, the entire process doesn't take more than one or two hours, but the results are remarkable. 

If time really isn't on your side, we also offer at-home whitening kits. The trays will be custom-made to fit your teeth and Dr. Bobbio will give you all the details you need to ensure safe and amazing results. 

It's important to know that the level of whiteness you will get depends from person to person. Factors like the original color of your teeth, how discolored they were, and how they respond to the whitening treatment can affect the whitening process and the results. 

Proper maintenance is also crucial if you want to ensure lasting results. The whitening effect can last anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on habits such as smoking and consuming foods and drinks that stain teeth (like coffee, red wine, and berries). 

You also need to have good oral hygiene and visit us regularly for check-ups and cleanings to maintain your beautiful smile.
