Whether for aesthetic or other reasons, it is increasingly common to want to have a perfect, white, and bright smile with the help of Thousand Oaks dental technology. Now there are several procedures that help improve our smiles, including laser teeth whitening with zoom. Currently, there are two very common and widely-used procedures to lighten the teeth; both must be performed in the office by newbury park dental dentists. The two treatments act in a similar way, but some aspects make them different.
Zoom teeth whitening, including laser teeth whitening with Zoom, is an in-office dental procedure performed by specialists. The procedure is indicated when the patient wants to improve the color of their teeth if they look very yellow, either from age, an excessive consumption of food and beverages or habits that affect the color of the teeth throughout life. For this procedure, it is necessary to use an acid that is safe and effective, which when activated with a special light will cause a chemical reaction on the tooth surface which then lightens it.
The way in which Zoom teeth whitening works is very simple. The first thing your dentist will do is to apply a protector for the gums and lips that will ensure that these tissues are not irritated or damaged by the gel that will be placed based on hydrogen peroxide, this is the substance that will act directly on the surface of the tooth leaving them whiter and brighter. This gel will be left on the surface of the tooth for approximately 15 minutes, during this time light will be applied whose heat will cause a chemical reaction that will serve to activate the gel so that it can fulfill its function.
Unlike laser teeth whitening, where the laser light emitted is very narrow so only one tooth can be whitened at a time, with Zoom whitening both the gel, and the light will act on all the teeth at the same time. Thus, the procedure acts in the same way and with the intensity on all teeth.
Once this time is over, the gel will be removed and you will be able to see immediate results. If you want to see more impressive and lasting results, it is recommended to perform Zoom teeth whitening in at least 3 sessions of 15 minutes each, making a total of 45 minutes of treatment. In each session, you will see a significant improvement in the color of your teeth.
