Have you ever wondered what all the talk about teeth whitening or bleaching is all about? Teeth whitening can take years off the life of your teeth. It can remove tea, coffee, wine, and smoking stains. I think teeth whitening is explained best by the analogy of a deep scrubbing of the teeth. Our teeth have little holes in them and over time these holes fill in with plaque, stains and other debris. The whitening gel cleans out these holes and make the teeth look white and clean.
A couple tips to help make the most of your teeth whitening: first, make sure you have had your cleaning. This by itself will whiten your teeth and make the whitening gels work even better. The standard cleaning or “prophy” will get most of the bigger debris off the teeth which allows the gel to work harder on the stubborn stains. Also, having a dental exam will ensure none of your dark or brown spots are small cavities that should be fixed before teeth whitening takes place. Try to avoid wines, juices, coffee, and smoking to help your new white teeth last as long as possible.
DENTIST-SUPERVISED TAKE HOME METHOD
IN-OFFICE TREATMENT
ZOOM Teeth Whitening Mesa AZ The second method is our in-office whitening procedure. This method will generally take approximately 60-90 minutes to complete. When you come in we will polish your teeth and isolate your gums from the gel. We then apply the gel to the teeth where it rests for about 15-20 minutes. We rinse off the gel and reapply doing this 3-4 times. Sometimes a laser or light is used to help make the gel more efficient. This procedure has been known as Zoom whitening or Brite Smile.
