BEFORE

AFTER Zoom 2
What is Zoom! tooth whitening?
Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.

What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost anyone can benefit from whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective or some as it is for others. We can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a shade assessment.

Do many people whiten their teeth?
More people than you might imagine. A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom! Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before. It can make you look years younger, and make make you smile more.

Is whitening safe?
Yes, extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth is very safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

How does Zoom! work?
The Zoom! Light-activated whitening gel's active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged.

What does a patient experience during the Zoom! procedure?
During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Many actually fall asleep. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. Tooth sensitivity is possible during the procedure, as the bleaching penetrates and whitens.

How is exposure to the Zoom! light controlled?
The Zoom! procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the procedure. Light sensitive individuals including those undergoing PUVA (Psoralen+UV Radiation) therapy or other photo-chemotherapy, as well as patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom! in-office procedure. Also patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter, prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary physician prior to procedure.

How long does Zoom! Whitening take?
The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by less than an hour of bleaching.

Are there any side effects?
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom! lights generates minimal heat which is the usual source for discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure but always dissipate.

How long do the results last?
By following the Zoom! Post Whitening Care Instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were prior to the procedure.

NOTE: Patients are advised to switch their toothpaste to SENSODYNE approximately ONE week prior to your ZOOM2 session in order to prepare your teeth for the procedure. Minor sensitivity is to be expected but if patients experience further sensitivity the doctor will prescribe a special toothpaste/gel called PreviDent 5000® to alleviate the discomfort.

A note of reassurance...
Tooth whitening is a well-established procedure in medical cosmetics. Hydrogen Peroxide, the active agent in Zoom! has also been safely used for many years in the treatment of gums and other oral soft tissue.

The whitening process is effective on most discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics, are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth.
