Find out if this professional whitening system could give you the smile results you want.
 

Nothing is more attractive then flaunting a vibrant, whiter smile that is free of stains and discolorations. If you are looking for a fast and teeth whiteningeffective way to remove pesky, stubborn dental stains then it’s time to find out how your Camden County, NJ dentists Dr. Joseph Sullivan and Dr. Jeffrey Turner can turn your smile from dull to vibrant in as quickly as one visit.

Zoom is one of the most popular whitening systems in the world and is known to lighten both enamel and dentin stains. Some of the most common causes of these stains include,

  • Red wine
  • Coffee
  • Dark sodas
  • Tea
  • Smoking
  • Aging

Your cosmetic dentists in Camden County, NJ offer the Zoom in-office chairside lamp, which allows us to speed up the bleaching process by activating high-grade whitening gel that contains as much as 25 percent hydrogen peroxide. The job of hydrogen peroxide is to break down and turn into oxygen, which will then enter through the enamel and dentin layers to remove stains and brighten your teeth.

The Zoom Whitening Process

Once we deem you an ideal candidate for treatment the procedure itself will only take about an hour. Before your whitening can begin we will thoroughly clean your teeth to make sure that the whitening gel is better able to reach all areas of your smile for a more even whitening.

We will also apply a protective cover to the lips and gums so they don’t come in contact with the gel. While teeth are exposed we will apply the whitener to your teeth and with the Zoom light we will break up stains. The gel will remain on your teeth for about 15 minutes. One whitening session is comprised of three 15-minute sessions with light activation.

Good Candidates for Zoom

Those dealing with surface stains caused by foods, drinks, cigarette smoking or aging can benefit greatly from this treatment. Ideal candidates should also have a healthy mouth free of disease or cavities.

If you deal with tooth sensitivity you’ll want to talk to us first so we can determine whether this is the best course of action or whether it could exacerbate your condition. We may recommend using an anti-sensitivity toothpaste prior to your whitening session.

Whitening is not recommended for children or women who are pregnant or currently nursing. Also, keep in mind that results vary from person to person and the severity and types of stains you have will affect your overall results.
