Zoom is a widely recognized bleaching technique employed both nationally and internationally to enhance the brightness of enamel and dentin. Discoloration of teeth can occur due to various factors, including the consumption of beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, and red wine, as well as habits like smoking. Additionally, the natural aging process can contribute to the staining and darkening of teeth.
The zoom teeth whitening Jasper AL in-office procedure utilizes the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp, which is designed to expedite the bleaching process by activating a 25 percent hydrogen peroxide solution. As the hydrogen peroxide decomposes, oxygen permeates the enamel and dentin, effectively bleaching the stained areas while preserving the integrity of the tooth structure.
Consultation and Treatment Planning
Prior to determining the suitability of zoom teeth whitening Jasper AL in-office for an individual, a thorough examination of the teeth and gums will be conducted by the dentist to assess overall oral health. This evaluation will include a discussion regarding the patient’s oral hygiene practices and lifestyle choices to ascertain the potential benefits of the whitening procedure. Such an assessment is crucial for both the patient and the dentist to collaboratively select the most appropriate whitening method or product tailored to the individual’s needs.
In certain cases, the dentist may recommend zoom teeth whitening Jasper AL as a prerequisite for other cosmetic dental treatments, such as veneers or composite bonding, to ensure a harmonious match between the cosmetic restoration and the patient’s natural teeth. This recommendation may also apply following the removal of braces.
Variations of Teeth Whitening
It is important to note that the effectiveness of zoom teeth whitening Jasper AL may vary based on the condition of the teeth and the desired aesthetic outcomes. During the consultation, the dentist will also take into account any existing dental work, such as crowns and veneers, which typically do not respond to standard whitening treatments.
The Zoom Procedure
The entire process is completed in under an hour, although it is advisable to have a standard teeth cleaning prior to the zoom teeth whitening Jasper AL treatment. Initially, a brief preparation phase is conducted to protect the lips and gums, ensuring that only the teeth are exposed. Following this, the dentist or dental assistant applies the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which, in conjunction with the Zoom light, effectively penetrates the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The gel is left in place for a duration of 15 minutes while the light is activated, allowing patients to relax, watch television, or listen to music during this interval.
The Application of Whitening Gel
The application of the gel occurs over three separate 15-minute sessions of light activation, culminating in a total treatment duration of 45 minutes. Patients who experience a pronounced gag reflex or anxiety may find it challenging to complete the entire procedure. Upon completion, a fluoride paste-gel designed to reduce sensitivity is applied to the teeth to enhance comfort.
