Tooth Whitening With the vast array of tooth whitening options available on the market, it is often difficult for a patient to decide which way to go. Do-it-yourself, over-the-counter products often leave much to be desired. Proven clinical research has shown that the ZOOM technique has the best results and also the most widespread patient satisfaction.We offer in-house tooth whitening in a single appointment using the ZOOM bleaching lamp. Alternatively, we provide patients with do-it-yourself kits for home use, using the ZOOM products.For patients wanting an instant result, the single appointment in-the-chair technique is ideal. During this process the teeth are isolated, the whitening gel is applied to the tooth surface, and a special whitening lamp is applied. In severe cases, this process is repeated up to three times until the desired result is achieved.For patients who prefer a cheaper option, take-home kits are available, using the same gel but without the advantage of the lamp to catalyze the process. To achieve the same result the whitening trays must be left in the mouth overnight for several nights.Heavy smokers, wine or coffee drinkers and those with congenital defects in the enamel may not experience whitening to the same extent as those without these factors.As can be seen in the picture opposite, results are dramatic, leaving you with a whiter, brighter, more confident smile. |
