What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment done to lighten your teeth in color and get them free from discolorations in order to give a fresh look to a smile. Whitening agents are applied in such a way as to help break up and delete all the stains on the teeth. Various teeth whitening methods are available, each having its own advantages and different approaches.

Advantages of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening has many advantages besides making your teeth look better:

1. Whiter Smile for a More Youthful, Energetic Look: One of the easiest and fastest ways to feel more confident and improve your looks.
2. Effective Stain Removal: Whitening treatments take out the stains on your teeth caused by certain drinks, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, tobacco, and many other sources. This leaves your smile healthier and looking better.
3. Quick Results: Most whitening treatments show results after one treatment; hence, they are the ideal solutions for situations that need fast and sure results.
4. Professional Supervision: Teeth whitening handled by dental professionals ensures that the treatment is safe, with your needs put into consideration.

Types of Whitening Treatments

There are two main types of teeth whitening treatments: in-office and at-home options.

In-Office Whitening

In-office whitening is done in our office in Stamford and is indicated for those patients who desire an immediate, dramatic result. With this method, stronger whitening agents may be used, often with light or laser activation to help increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Procedure:

1. Consultation: They would be in a position to assess your teeth during the visit, discussing the whitening goals, aiming to come up with the best fit for your needs.
2. Preparation: Cleaning of the teeth is done, and then a protective barrier is placed on your gums and lips to ensure they are well off from being damaged by the whitening agents.
3. Application: A whitening gel is painted on your teeth. A special light or laser activates this gel, accelerating the whitening process.
4. Results: You will have immediate results after one treatment and continue to whiten over time. Regular follow-up appointments are recommended to maintain your new dazzling smile.

At-Home Whitening

At-home whitening involves custom whitening trays and whitening gel sent home with the patient from our office. This method offers great convenience and may be quite a bit less expensive but takes longer to see desired results than in-office whitening.

Procedure:

1. Impressions: Impressions are taken of the teeth in order to make customized trays that will fit exactly.
2. Application: You are given the whitening gel that you apply with the tray at home. The tray is worn over a number of hours daily or overnight as instructed.
3. Results: In some time, the whitening gel takes action and bleaches the stains on the teeth, hence brightening them. Results start to show in a couple of uses.

Zoom Teeth Whitening

Zoom Teeth Whitening is one of the most popular in-office whitening systems praised for efficiency and speed. It is designed in such a way as to provide extreme whiteness on the spot within one visit so that it wouldn’t take too much precious time of patients who need or would like to quickly and highly improve their smile appearance.

Procedure:

1. Preparation: Your teeth are cleaned, and protective coverings are applied to your gums and lips.
2. Application: A special Zoom Whitening gel is placed on your teeth.
3. Activation: The whitening agent is then activated by a Zoom light, which accelerates the whitening process.
4. Completion: Over the treated teeth, a fluoride treatment is later applied to reduce the sensitivity of the teeth and to further enhance the results.

How Does Zoom Teeth Whitening Work?

Zoom Teeth Whitening is a hydrogen peroxide-based gel that works with a special light that helps in breaking down stains and discoloration on the teeth. In simple terms, the light accelerates whitening. Therefore, you will be able to achieve whiter teeth much faster than with other whitening options.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Take-home teeth whitening includes custom-made trays and whitening gel that our office will be able to provide. With these, you will be able to whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home, often within just a few weeks.

Procedure:

1. Impressions: To be able to make custom trays that will fit your teeth with perfection, impressions of your teeth will need to be taken.
2. Application: You are also given whitening gel for home use with the trays. These trays are used for some hours daily or at night according to instructions.
3. Results: The whitening gel will take effect and, after some time, will elicit your teeth’s stains and lighten them. Normally, results are achieved after a few uses.
