Teeth Whitening
What is Zoom! Whitening?
We recommend Zoom whitening as the best and fastest way to a whiter, brighter smile. In just a few hours, we can make your teeth drastically whiter.
How does the teeth whitening work?
At a consultation visit, we will check the shade of your teeth and make sure you are a good candidate for Zoom! Whitening. We will then take impressions in preparation for your Zoom appointment. At your Zoom! appointment, we will place an isolation barrier in your mouth that protects your gums and apply whitening gel to your teeth. Next, we will treat your teeth with and ultraviolet light. The whitening process takes about 2 hours. Most patients listen to music or watch a movie during the appointment.
How do I know if I am a candidate for Zoom! Whitening?
The best way to find out if Zoom! is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Jon Conover in Cincinnati, OH. He will check your mouth to see if you are a candidate. Patients with fillings or crowns on their front teeth might need to consider replacing their dental work with whitening to ensure all their teeth are the same shade. Patients with certain dental problems may need to have them addressed before whitening. Dr. Jon Conover will determine the best plan to enhance your smile.
What about tooth sensitivity?
Sensitivity is a risk with all types of whitening treatment. Not everyone experiences sensitivity, but if you do, it will fade with time. Your Zoom! Whitening package includes custom trays and a gel that will help combat post-treatment sensitivity. If you have sensitive teeth or are worried about the possibility of sensitivity, please let Dr. Jon Conover know because he may recommend an alternative whitening solution.
What kind of results can I expect?
Like any dental or medical treatment, the results with Zoom! Whitening vary from person to person. Teeth that have become yellow tend to respond better to whitening than dark grey or brown teeth. We also notice that teeth stained from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking respond the best. Teeth darkened from tetracycline staining or other medications are more resistant to whitening. Dr. Jon Conover will discuss expectations before proceeding with your teeth whitening treatment plan.
I have white spots on my teeth. Can Zoom! Whitening help?
Color variations can happen for various reasons. One of the most common causes is fluorosis, harmless white streaks or spots on teeth from consuming too much fluoride during childhood. There are several options for improving the appearance of teeth with white spots. The most conservative option is remineralization, which involves a simple acid pre-treatment and the application of a special paste that repairs the mineral structure of the enamel. We often perform this treatment in conjunction with whitening.
How long will my teeth stay white?
Because most staining comes from habits like coffee and tea drinking, discoloration can reoccur. The best way to maintain your Zoom! Whitening results is through periodic at-home whitening treatments. Your Zoom! Whitening package includes custom trays you can use for at-home whitening maintenance. Most of our patients successfully maintain their Zoom! Whitening results by whitening at home one week a year.
Are there other teeth whitening options?
For patients with sensitive teeth or dental work they don’t want to replace and patients who would prefer to whiten their teeth at home, we offer take-home teeth whitening kits.
