Teeth whitening (bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of your natural teeth enamel.
Because whitening only works on your natural enamel, Dr. Ochev will evaluate the replacement of any restorations such as old fillings and crowns. The replacement of any restorations is done after whitening so they match your newly bleached teeth.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every several years, and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, drink tea, or drink wine.
Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
Normal wear of outer tooth layer
Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)
Yellow, brown stained teeth
This type of teeth whitening usually takes about 90 minutes total.
The Zoom!® In-Office Whitening System is a revolutionary tooth whitening procedure. It’s safe, effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour, your teeth will be dramatically whiter. Zoom!® Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of Zoom!® makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.
The Zoom!® Whitening procedure begins with a short preparation to isolate your lips and gums. Our clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom!® Whitening Gel, which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become at least 6 to 10 shades whiter, sometimes more. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. You’ll be amazed with the results. In most cases, teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure.
The Zoom!® light activated gel was developed after years of research by Discus Dental (acquired by Philips), the leaders in professional take-home teeth whitening. The gel is a scientifically formulated, pH balanced Hydrogen Peroxide that, when activated by the Zoom!® light, gently penetrates the teeth to remove deep stains and discoloration. With proper care and an occasional touch-up at home, your whiter smile will sparkle for years.
