How does Zoom Work?

02/27/2014 16:41


Zoom is a special type of teeth whitening that can only be performed in a dental office. It combines state-of-the-art techniques with some of the most powerful whitening agents to create stunning results. Our cosmetic dentist in Northridge can help you decide if Zoom is right for you.

If you are a candidate for Zoom, your gums, lips and other soft tissues will be protected before the Zoom whitening solution is painted directly onto your teeth. Once we have applied the solution to your teeth, we will direct a special high-intensity light onto them. This light is designed to activate the gel and allow the oxidation process to begin deep inside the structures of your teeth to break up even the stains that are located in the dentin and enamel. Zoom is known for whitening teeth as much as eight shades in a single appointment, and teeth can remain permanently brighter if patients follow proper post-whitening procedures.

You may be a candidate for Zoom whitening if you have healthy teeth and gums and have no visible restorations, such as tooth-colored fillings or porcelain veneers. Contact our expert in Zoom whitening in Northridge today to learn more, or to schedule your appointment.
