Achieve The Perfect Smile

 Attaining a radiant, beautiful smile might be more straightforward than you imagine. Countless individuals have realized their dream smile effortlessly through our straightforward and effective "bleaching" treatment.

What are the details of teeth whitening?

Achieving a luminous smile is safe, swift, and more affordable than you might expect. Simply express your interest in teeth whitening during any visit, and we can tailor the treatment to brighten either your upper set of teeth, lower set, or both, based on your unique smile and the extent of visibility when you speak or laugh.

Within just a couple of days, your personalized bleach splints will be ready for collection. We equip you with a specialized bleaching formula that you insert into the clear splints. With just a few hours of wear each day, this powerful bleaching agent effectively lifts stains from your enamel swiftly and safely, without impacting the structure of your teeth or any previous dental work. Once you achieve the level of whiteness you desire, only periodic treatments are necessary to maintain your dazzling new smile. We look forward to capturing your "after" photos at your upcoming appointment.

Dental bleaching is an excellent option for correcting various forms of tooth discoloration, whether due to stains, aging, or chemical damage. Leveraging advanced bleaching techniques, we offer a secure and effective route to achieving a "brilliant" smile. For severe discoloration, crowns or veneers might be the optimal solution, but given the affordability of bleaching treatments, it is certainly worth considering as a first step.

How is teeth whitening done? 

To embark on your journey to a brighter smile, we start by taking an impression of your teeth. This allows us to create a bespoke 'mouthguard' or 'stent' designed to hold the whitening agent precisely against your teeth. This specialized approach ensures every surface is evenly covered, allowing for optimal whitening.

You'll use this mouthguard with the bleaching agent for approximately 3-4 hours each night over the course of one to two weeks. By the end of this period, you'll notice a considerable transformation in the whiteness of your teeth. In many instances, the results are impressively dramatic.

Our bleaching technology confidently addresses concerns like yellowing, age-related discoloration, or stains, providing a significant enhancement to your smile's appearance. For those with extremely severe staining, we may recommend crowns or porcelain veneers as a more suitable option to achieve the desired aesthetic.

 Considerations for Teeth Whitening 

 While it is true that a variety of over-the-counter bleaching products are readily accessible at drugstores and pharmacies, caution is advised when using these items. These products may pose risks to your gums and teeth if not used properly. For a safer and more effective teeth whitening experience, we highly recommend utilizing the products endorsed by our dental practice, ensuring that you receive both professional guidance and the highest standard of care.

What is Zoom! tooth whitening?

Zoom! is an advanced bleaching treatment that effectively lifts discoloration from enamel and dentin, illuminating your smile with enhanced brilliance and vitality.

What can cause tooth discoloration?

Tooth discoloration can arise from a variety of sources, the most prevalent being the natural aging process and the regular consumption of stain-inducing substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco. Additionally, discoloration may occur during the development of teeth from the intake of certain medications such as tetracycline, specific antibiotics, or from an overabundance of fluoride.

Who may benefit from tooth whitening? 

Nearly everyone is a candidate for tooth whitening, and it can significantly enhance the brightness of your smile. However, its effectiveness may vary from person to person. Dr. Ghalloub can conduct a comprehensive oral examination to ascertain if you are suited for this treatment, which includes an evaluation of your tooth shade, ensuring a personalized approach to your whitening journey.

Is tooth whitening becoming more popular? 

Indeed! A vibrant, stunning smile can have a remarkable impact. With the Zoom! Whitening System, achieving that luminous smile is simpler and quicker than you might imagine, transforming your smile with convenience and speed.

Is tooth whitening safe? 

Certainly, extensive research and clinical trials have consistently shown that professional teeth whitening under a dentist's guidance is safe. Indeed, it's often regarded by dental professionals as the safest form of cosmetic dentistry. However, it's important to note that the Zoom! Whitening System is not advised for children under the age of 13, nor for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Do the results last a long time? 

With a few easy-to-follow post-whitening care guidelines, you can ensure that your teeth remain brighter than ever. To maintain your new sparkling smile, we suggest regular flossing, brushing twice daily with Zoom! Whitening Toothpaste, and occasional touch-ups using Zoom! take-home gel. These professional-grade products are specially formulated to keep your teeth at their most luminous and are conveniently available through our office.

Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and Zoom! 

Absolutely! The first step towards safely achieving a whiter smile is a consultation with Dr. Ghalloub. While over-the-counter whitening strips, brush-on gels, and toothpastes may require weeks or even months to produce only modest results, Zoom! offers a clinically proven, rapid transformation. It's designed to brighten your teeth up to eight shades* in just one hour or six shades* across a single weekend, ensuring a swift and striking difference in your smile.

How does the Zoom! In-Office System work? 

The Zoom! light-activated gel harnesses the power of Hydrogen Peroxide as its active agent. As the Hydrogen Peroxide decomposes, it releases oxygen that permeates the enamel and dentin, effectively bleaching away discoloration without altering the tooth's fundamental structure. The specialized Zoom! light works to activate the Hydrogen Peroxide, enhancing its bleaching capabilities and enabling it to deeply infuse the tooth's surface for an exceptional whitening effect.

Is the Zoom! In-office procedure painful? 

Not at all. Throughout the procedure, you're welcome to enjoy watching television or listening to music—many of our patients find the experience so relaxing that they often drift off to sleep.

Are there any side effects? 

Some individuals may notice a temporary rise in tooth sensitivity to cold during the treatment process. Rest assured, this is a transient effect that typically subsides within 1-3 days after the treatment is either paused or completed.

How long is the procedure? 

The full Zoom! Whitening experience is conveniently completed in just over an hour. It starts with a brief preparation phase, followed by 60 minutes of active bleaching. The session is finalized with a five-minute fluoride treatment for optimal oral health. To ensure the best possible results, we recommend a professional cleaning before the whitening session begins.

How long does Zoom! Take-Home Whitening take? 

The Zoom! take-home gel offers flexible application times, ranging from four to eight hours per session to accommodate your schedule. Dr. Ghalloub will provide personalized guidance on the duration of each application for optimal results. Clinical studies have demonstrated that an average enhancement of six shades* can be attained after just three nights of use. Dr. Ghalloub will work with you to establish the perfect number of applications to achieve your desired level of brightness.

How is the Zoom! Take-Home System different from the Zoom! In-Office System? 

The primary distinction between the two systems lies in their setting and duration. The Zoom! Take-Home System is designed for your convenience, allowing you to achieve professional whitening results in the comfort of your own home over several nights. Meanwhile, the Zoom! In-Office System offers a swift and efficient whitening experience, with the entire procedure conducted within the professional setting of the office.
