A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom!® Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.
What is Zoom!® Whitening System?
Zoom!® is an extremely popular tooth whitening procedure which was first introduced on ABC's Extreme Makeover reality show. It is generally safe, effective and performed in a little over an hour. The result - your teeth will be MUCH whiter. Typically teeth become at least six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more…You'll be impressed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.
How is it performed?
Zoom!® is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of both the enamel and dentin of teeth. The procedure is easy and begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. Dr. Fader then applies the Zoom! Whitening Gel, which is activated by a special light. Following ZOOM treatment, a five (5) minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure.
Are there any side effects?
Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. Occasionally patients experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.
How long do the results last?
If you follow the easy post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best and brightest, we recommend brushing and flossing two times a day with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste, and occasional touch-ups with Zoom! take-home gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest and are available only through your dental professional.
Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and Zoom!®
Most definitely! Consulting your dentist is the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter tooth whitening efforts take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a couple of shades. Zoom!® is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight (8) shades in one hour.
