Zoom! Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Zoom! tooth whitening?
A: Zoom! is a bleaching process
that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.
Q: What causes tooth discoloration?
A: There are many causes. The most
common include aging and consumption of staining substances uc as
coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation,
consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive
fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.
Q: Who may benefit from tooth
whitening?
A: Almost anyone, however, treatment may
not be as effective for some as it is for others. Dr. Gill as a
dental professional can determine if you are a viable candidate for
the procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade
assessment.
Q: Do many people whiten their teeth?
A: More people than you might imagine. A
bright sparkling smile can make a big difference for every one. The
Zoom! Chairside Whitening System makes it easier and faster
than ever before.
Q: Is whitening safe?
A: Yes. Extensive research and clinical
studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a
dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the
safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth
whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children
under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.
Q: How long do the results last?
A: By following some simple post
whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than
they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we
recommend flossing, brushing twice daily, and occasional touch-ups
with Zoom! Weekender or Nite White gel. These are
professional formula products designed specifically to keep your
teeth their brightest. They are available only through your
dentist.
Q: How does the Zoom! In-office
system work?
A: The Zoom! light activated
whitening gel's active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the
Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and
dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the
tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the
Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.
A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the
effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 26% or more, giving an
average improvement of eight shades.
Q: What does a patient experience during
the Zoom! In-Office Procedure?
A: During the procedure, patients may
comfortably watch television or listen to music. Individuals with a
strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the
entire procedure.
Q: How is exposure to the Zoom!
light controlled?
A: The Zoom! procedure requires
that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The
dental professional is required to monitor the procedure to insure
any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective
eyewear is required during the procedure.
Light sensitive individuals, including
those undergoing PUVA therapy (Psoralen+UV Radiation) or other photo
chemotherapy, or patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom! in-office procedure. Also, patients taking any light
sensitive drugs or substances, whether over the counter,
prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary care
physician prior to the procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for
Zoom! Chairside Whitening for these reasons may be an excellent
candidate for Zoom! Take-Home.
Q: How long does Zoom! Chairside
Whitening take?
A: The complete procedure takes less
than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period
followed by 45 minutes of bleaching. (A cleaning is recommended
prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.)
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Sensitivity during the treatment may
occur with some patients. The Zoom! light generates minimal
heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions,
minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the
procedure, but always dissipate.
