Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening
Do you live in Melbourne? Are you interested in teeth whitening?
If the answer to both these questions is yes, then we have a solution.
There are many different causes of tooth discolouration. These include ageing, coffee (a big issue for Melbourne people!), tea, red wine, tobacco, certain types of medication, excessive amounts of fluoride and the consumption of tetracycline as a child. All of these can contribute to your teeth not looking as white and bright as they should.
Teeth whitening is a major reason Melbourne patients visit a dentist.It allows patients with discoloured teeth to enjoy that perfect white smile. At Oakleigh Dental Centre we have been performing teeth whitening with take-home bleaching kits for patients from all over Melbourne for some time now. However, we have had many enquiries from patients in Melbourne wanting an alternative method where they can achieve quicker and even whiter results all in the dental chair in a single visit. Because of the high demand for instantly whiter teeth, we are introducing to our surgery the Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening System that you may have seen on the popular television show "Extreme Makeover". Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening is the quickest and easiest way of achieving an instantly brighter smile in little over an hour. That’s why Melbourne patients are smiling whiter and brighter than ever before.
HOW DOES Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening WORK?
Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening is performed in the dental chair. A light-activated teeth whitening gel with an active ingredient of hydrogen peroxide is placed on your teeth. As the gel is exposed to a laser light the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, allowing oxygen to enter the tooth enamel and dentine, bleaching away discolouration of the enamel and dentine while the structure of the tooth remains unchanged. Depending on the severity of the discolouration we may need to apply the teeth whitening gel in a couple of applications; the whole process however shouldn't take any longer than an hour and a half. We will then send you home with some gel that you can apply at home in the next week.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
Once you have bleached your teeth they will never return to their original colour. The results will last for years and can easily be maintained using a touch up gel should any discolouration occur. A high level of oral hygiene will need to be maintained including flossing daily and brushing twice daily to maintain the teeth. However, discolouration can recur with continued consumption of tea, coffee, red wine and smoking.
IS BLEACHING SAFE AND ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Zoom 2! Teeth Whitening has undergone extensive research and clinical studies to show that under the supervision of a dentist Zoom 2! is perfectly safe, which is why we have brought it to Melbourne. Zoom 2! however is not recommended for children under the age of 13 years or pregnant or lactating women.
For a few days after bleaching has taken place you may experience sensitivity to things like cold air and water. This is only temporary and we will give you a calcium gel to place onto your teeth to help reduce any sensitivity that may be experienced.
