Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Almost anyone can benefit from tooth whitening. As seen on ABC's "Extreme Makeover," a bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. Like the dentists on the hit TV show, Dr. Sherman uses Zoom! to whiten patients' teeth. First, he will determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment. The complete procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of whitening. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure.

The most common causes of tooth discoloration include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, and red wine. Fortunately, tooth whitening helps. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Many actually fall asleep.

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, whitening colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 33 percent or more, giving an average improvement of eight shades.
