Zoom Whitening

Service Description

If you're looking for immediate results or prefer to whiten your teeth overnight, Dr. Ameri and Dr. Lashgari offer the perfect solution with Zoom! The Zoom! In-Office Whitening System can whiten teeth by an average of eight shades in just over an hour, ideal for those seeking quick results. Alternatively, the Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System uses a patent-pending gel to whiten teeth an average of six shades in just three nights, with potential for even lighter results with additional use. What is Zoom! Tooth Whitening? Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin, often caused by aging, coffee, tea, tobacco, or certain medications. Who Can Benefit from Tooth Whitening? Most people can benefit, although some may see better results than others. Drs. Ameri and Lashgari can evaluate whether you’re a good candidate. Is Tooth Whitening Safe? Yes, under the supervision of a dentist, whitening is considered one of the safest cosmetic dental procedures. However, it's not recommended for children under 13 or pregnant/lactating women. Do Results Last? Yes! With proper care, such as brushing with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste and occasional touch-ups with Zoom! take-home gel, your teeth will stay brighter than before. Difference Between Zoom! and Over-the-Counter Products: Unlike over-the-counter products that take weeks, Zoom! can whiten teeth by up to eight shades in just one hour in-office or six shades in one weekend with the take-home system. How Does the Zoom! In-Office System Work? The active ingredient, Hydrogen Peroxide, breaks down to release oxygen, which enters the enamel and bleaches discoloration without damaging the tooth structure. The Zoom! light enhances this process. Is the Procedure Painful? No, many patients relax with music or TV, and some even fall asleep during the procedure. Side Effects? Some temporary tooth sensitivity to cold may occur but typically fades within 1-3 days after treatment. Procedure Duration: The entire in-office procedure takes about one hour, with a five-minute fluoride treatment at the end. How Long Does the Take-Home System Take? The take-home gel should be worn for 4-8 hours per application, with noticeable results after just three nights. In-Office vs. Take-Home System: The in-office system is completed during a single visit, while the take-home system allows you to whiten at home over a few nights.
