If you are generally happy with your smile but dislike the colour of your teeth, a professional teeth whitening treatment in Oshawa could be the solution. A professional whitening treatment ensures you get the best results safely and comfortably.
Margolian Dentistry uses Zoom whitening for our in-office treatments, a system that is trusted worldwide.
What Is Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Zoom teeth whitening is a treatment using professional-strength hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel. The gel can penetrate your tooth enamel, lifting deep-seated stains caused by habits like smoking and consuming tea, coffee, wine and other strongly coloured substances over the years. The gel is light-activated, accelerating the whitening process.
What to Expect During Zoom Whitening?
Before your whitening treatment begins, we protect your lips and gums with a barrier before painting your teeth with the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. LED light activates the gel, helping to break down tough stains in your tooth enamel.
The process can be repeated several times to gain optimal results. You will immediately notice the difference as your teeth will look whiter by several shades.
Is Zoom Teeth Whitening Safe?
Treatment is safe because it is provided by highly qualified and trained dental professionals. The whitening gel is extremely high quality and contains ingredients that help protect your teeth and reduce sensitivity.
Before having this procedure, we must assess your oral health to ensure Zoom whitening is appropriate. There are some limitations, which include:
- Existing dental restorations. Any crowns, veneers, white fillings or bridges will not change shade during treatment. Therefore, it is better to plan treatment when you need new restorations. We can whiten your teeth first and then match your new restorations precisely to your new, brighter teeth.
- Oral health problems. Any oral health problems like tooth decay or gum disease must be treated first. Trying to whiten an unhealthy mouth can cause problems like discomfort or tooth sensitivity or cause further complications.
How Long Will Results Last?
Immediately after a Zoom teeth whitening treatment in Whitby, you must avoid highly coloured foods for the first few days until your teeth settle down. Afterwards, you can expect the results to last several months or longer. It all depends on your lifestyle habits. For example, if you smoke or drink a lot of coffee, you can expect your teeth to stain more quickly. The results will diminish over time.
However, you can top up the results regularly. Our dentist can advise you on how frequently you can safely touch up your Zoom whitening treatment in Ajax.
Making the Results Last Longer
You can make the results last longer by maintaining a good oral care routine that includes regular dental cleanings with our hygienist. A professional dental cleaning is a great way to remove surface stains and restore the sparkle to your smile.
You may also want to adjust your lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking or even just swishing your mouth with water after you eat or drink anything highly coloured.
Is Zoom Teeth Whitening Worth It?
Zoom teeth whitening provides immediate results that are far more effective and far safer than anything you can buy over the counter. If you currently feel self-conscious about the colour of your teeth, then it’s definitely worth considering this treatment. It is affordable and, most importantly, will not damage your dental health.
