Many individuals experience discoloration of their teeth due to a variety of reasons. Some of the most common causes of tooth discoloration include aging or the consumption of stain-inducing food, beverages, or substances. Coffee, soda, tea, wine, and even tobacco smoke can all cause discoloration leaving you with a barely bright smile.

Fortunately, however, technological advances in the field of cosmetic dentistry have led to the development of dental procedures that will make your smile shades whiter in little to no time. No uncomfortable nightly whitening strips are required for these procedures!

The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System effectively works to bleach teeth and rid them of any unwanted stains that may reduce the luminosity of your prized smile. With only a brief preparation period prior to the procedure, and approximately 45 minutes of intensive bleaching, Zoom is an in-office procedure that usually lasts less than an hour. But, it's effects are well worth your time!

The active ingredient is the Zoom! Procedure is hydrogen peroxide. Throughout the process, oxygen enters your tooth enamel, actively working to bleach discolored areas. Streaming light into the oral cavity aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps the chemical penetrate the surface of the tooth.

The process is completely non-invasive. Most patients will either watch television or listen to music during their procedures. Of course, because all individuals are different, some patients have experienced discomfort from the minimal heat generated by the light that activates the hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, patients who demonstrate a strong or highly-sensitive gag reflex may be unable to undergo the procedure as there are often several dental tools inserted and kept into the mouth during the process.

Overall, the Zoom! Chairside whitening system is a great procedure that effectively works to whiten your teeth in a short amount of time. Of course, many dentists will ensure that although this procedure is safe, regularly scheduled cleaning, habitual flossing, and brushing at least twice daily will prevent you from requiring the Zoom services.
