Zoom teeth whitening Brisbane Smile Boutique
Zoom teeth whitening is a popular in-office teeth whitening procedure that uses a special gel and a low-heat light to whiten teeth. It is a relatively quick and effective method for brightening the colour of teeth and achieving a more vibrant smile.
Here's some information about the Zoom teeth whitening process:
Procedure: During a Zoom teeth whitening session, a protective covering is applied to your gums to shield them from the whitening gel. Then, a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel is applied to your teeth. A specialised Zoom light is directed at your teeth, which activates the gel and helps break up stains and discolouration. The gel is typically left on for 15-20 minutes while the light is applied in intervals. The process may be repeated for a total of three or four cycles depending on the desired results.
Professional supervision: Zoom teeth whitening is performed by a dentist or a dental hygienist at Brisbane Smile Boutique who has received training in the procedure. Their expertise ensures the treatment is carried out safely and effectively.
Duration: The entire Zoom teeth whitening procedure can typically be completed in a single dental visit, lasting around 60 to 90 minutes.
Results: Many individuals notice immediate improvements in the whiteness of their teeth after a Zoom whitening session. The treatment can lighten teeth by several shades, but the exact results may vary depending on the starting shade of your teeth and your individual response to the treatment.
Aftercare: After the Zoom teeth whitening procedure, your dentist may provide you with a touch-up kit or recommend certain oral care products to help maintain the results. It's important to follow any instructions provided by your dentist to ensure the longevity of the whitening effects.
Sensitivity: Some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after the Zoom whitening treatment. This is usually mild and subsides within a few days. Your dentist may recommend desensitising products or techniques to manage any sensitivity.
It's important to note that Zoom teeth whitening is most effective on natural teeth and may not be suitable for everyone. It may not be as effective on certain types of discolouration, such as internal tooth discolouration caused by factors like trauma or medication. Additionally, dental restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings do not whiten with this procedure, so the colour of existing dental work may need to be adjusted to match the new shade of your teeth.
