15 Aug Am I candidate for Zoom! Whitening?
Teeth that are discolored as a result of coffee, tea, red wine or aging can be effectively whitened using the Zoom whitening system. Even certain medications, such as Tetracycline can cause unappealing discoloration of the enamel.
Generally, natural teeth will develop into the yellow, brown, or gray shade groups. Zoom whitening in our San Antonio office is safe and effective in each of these categories. It is important to note that not all shade groups whiten at the same rate, and each patient’s results will vary. Most patients can expect a dramatic improvement, typically up to eight shades lighter.
Although Zoom is designed to produce impressive results for most patients, the ideal candidate for this procedure is:
– Age 13 and older with permanent front teeth that have stopped growing
– Not pregnant or lactating
– A patient who does not have fillings, bonding, veneers, or crowns on the front teeth (existing restorations on the front teeth may need to be replaced to match your new, whiter shade.)
– A patient free from dental diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease
In addition to the previously mentioned considerations, the ideal Zoom candidates are busy patients who desire a brighter, whiter smile in one visit. When your lifestyle doesn’t permit multiple dental visits, or time to apply daily strips and trays, the quick and painless Zoom procedure is a perfect fit. Zoom patients expect to receive the highest quality dental care, administered by experience, trained dental professionals.
Patients who wish to avoid unnecessary sensitivity will also appreciate the Zoom procedure. Although a mild degree of heat is generated by the Zoom procedure, the level of sensitivity is low compared to other whitening methods.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Zoom whitening is to schedule a visit with our cosmetic dentists. A thorough dental and medical exam can help to predict your potential results. You will be encouraged to ask questions about the procedure and the outcome. For Zoom whitening in San Antonio plan your next appointment with us right away.
