If you want a noticeably whiter smile fast, Zoom teeth whitening is the solution. Dr. Garrett offers both in-office and take-home options to suit your lifestyle and goals.
Zoom teeth whitening can brighten your teeth by up to eight shades in just over an hour, perfect for those looking for immediate results in a single visit.
Prefer to whiten your teeth more gradually? The Zoom Take-Home Whitening System uses a powerful, patent-pending gel that can whiten your teeth by up to six shades in just three nights, with the potential for even greater results with continued use.
Forget strips and paint-on gels, Zoom teeth whitening delivers real results, quickly.
Zoom teeth whitening is a professional bleaching treatment designed to significantly lighten the color of your teeth in a short amount of time. Offered in both in-office and take-home formats, Zoom whitening uses a powerful hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel that penetrates the enamel to break up deep stains and discoloration. The in-office procedure is enhanced by a special LED light that accelerates the whitening process, delivering results of up to eight shades whiter in just one visit. Safe, effective, and fast, Zoom teeth whitening is ideal for anyone looking to achieve a noticeably brighter smile with professional-grade results.
Tooth discoloration can occur for a variety of reasons, both internal and external. Common causes include everyday habits such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine, or dark-colored sodas, as well as smoking or using tobacco products. These substances can stain the outer enamel layer of the teeth over time. Poor oral hygiene, such as infrequent brushing and flossing, can also contribute to discoloration by allowing plaque and stain-producing substances to build up. In addition, certain medications, aging, trauma, or excessive fluoride exposure during childhood can lead to deeper, intrinsic stains that affect the dentin beneath the enamel. Understanding the cause of your tooth discoloration is the first step toward choosing the most effective whitening solution.
Zoom teeth whitening is ideal for anyone looking to enhance the brightness of their smile quickly and safely. It’s especially beneficial for individuals with yellowing or surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or aging. Whether you have an upcoming event, such as a wedding, job interview, or special occasion, or you simply want to boost your confidence, Zoom whitening can deliver noticeable results in just one treatment. It’s suitable for most adults with healthy teeth and gums, though a consultation is recommended to ensure you’re a good candidate. If you have deep, stubborn stains or discoloration from medications or trauma, Dr. Garrett can help you explore whether Zoom or an alternative cosmetic dentistry treatment is best for your smile goals.
Yes, 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. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom is not recommended for children under 13 years of age or pregnant or lactating women.
By following some simple post-whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom teeth whitening toothpaste, and touch-ups with Zoom take-home gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available through our office.
Yes! Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels, and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. Zoom teeth whitening is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight shades in one hour or six shades in just one weekend.
The Zoom light-activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged. The Zoom light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.
No. During the procedure, patients can actually watch television or listen to music. Many fall asleep.
Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.
The entire procedure takes just over one hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure (we recommend a cleaning prior to the actual Zoom! Whitening session).
The Zoom take-home gel is designed to be worn between four and eight hours per application. Dr. Garrett will advise you on how long you should wear each application. A recent study showed that you can achieve an average improvement of six shades after just three nights of use. Dr. Garrett will help you determine how many applications are right for you.
The main difference between the two systems is that you use the Zoom! Take-Home System in the convenience of your own home over a few nights. The Zoom! In-Office System is performed entirely in the office.
