At RK Dentistry, Richard J. Koeltl, DDS, in Danville, California, we strive to provide quality dental treatments that will enhance your smile, and teeth whitening is no exception. That’s why our team has chosen the ZOOM teeth whitening system. Learning more about ZOOM professional teeth whitening can help you decide if it’s right for you.
Here are some questions we’re often asked about this system:
ZOOM is a professional teeth-whitening system used to remove food, drink, tobacco, and other stains from your teeth to give your smile a whiter, brighter appearance. Dr. Koeltl will apply a peroxide-based gel to your teeth and activate it with an LED light to speed up the whitening process. The light releases oxygen within the gel to break down stain molecules on your teeth, leaving them looking a lighter color. We’ll repeat the procedure several times until ZOOM has restored the natural whiteness of your smile.
Yes! When administered by an experienced cosmetic dentist, ZOOM teeth whitening is perfectly safe and poses no risk of damaging your teeth. Dr. Koeltl will take measures to protect your gums and cheeks from the bleaching agents during your treatment. We’ll also carefully monitor the timing of your sessions and potency of the whitening gel to ensure you have a safe, successful procedure. Just the same, teeth whitening is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under the age of 13.
That depends a great deal on your oral hygiene habits, lifestyle habits, and dietary choices after your treatment. With good oral care, your smile can retain its radiance for up to two years. We’ll provide you with take-home whitening trays to touch up your smile when needed. Naturally, your whitening results will last longer if you avoid smoking and stain-causing food and drinks.
Your teeth are more susceptible to staining for the first few days after your treatment. That’s why it’s important to avoid certain food and drinks, such as coffee, soda, red wine, berries and food with a tomato or soy sauce base.
No. Professional whitening isn’t painful, but you can expect some sensitivity either during or after your treatment. This sensitivity should cease after a day or two.
