South East London dentist discusses Zoom teeth whitening.
06 / 09 / 2012
Over time our teeth manage to collect a lot of stains and discolouration. While products like wine and coffee are particularly bad for leaving stains on teeth, everything we eat has the possibility of discolouring our teeth to some degree. Regular brushing and flossing will also keep your teeth whiter for longer. But eventually all teeth begin to lose their white sparkle. Zoom teeth whitening gel is a new product that can help return your teeth to the bright, white shine they once had.
The procedure can be done at your South East London dental practice and is a bleaching process that removes all manner of stains from the enamel and dentin of your teeth. Unlike some other whitening treatments, Zoom offers results very quickly, making it especially helpful for people with little time to spare. The change in colour tone can be up to 10 shades brighter.
During the procedure, for safety, your lips and gums will be covered so only your teeth are exposed. The Zoom gel is applied by the dentist to your teeth. A specially designed Zoom power lamp is then turned on and aimed directly at the gel. The lamp heats the gel to specific temperatures to activate the gel. When activated the bleaching can penetrate the enamel and deeply colour the tooth. The lamp must remain in place for just under an hour. After this time you will already have a brighter, whiter smile.
