Teeth Whitening
In our culture, we associate bright, white teeth with youth and vitality. However, tooth shade depends on a variety of factors, including genetics, eating habits, and age. Fortunately, professional teeth whitening, proven safe and effective, can brighten your teeth up to eight shades without altering tooth structure. Dr. Simmons proudly offers Zoom! Whitening, the leading teeth whitening system, for stunning results in about an hour.
How does Zoom! Whitening work?
Zoom! Whitening combines a potent bleaching gel with a no-heat lamp to deliver maximum brightness. Made from a pH-balanced hydrogen peroxide solution, the gel penetrates the enamel to gently whisk away stains and discolorations. The curing lamp is the secret to the Zoom! Whitening system. It activates the gel for immediate results.
Will Zoom! Whitening damage my teeth?
No. Hydrogen peroxide, the primary ingredient in teeth whitening agents, has been proven safe in clinical studies. In fact, the Zoom! Whitening solution actually contains fluoride, which will help strengthen your enamel and protect your teeth against sensitivity. Some patients experience mild sensitivity after teeth whitening, which typically subsides within a few days’ time.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening works best when performed periodically. Over time, tooth enamel will re-absorb stains from tobacco, coffee, and dark-colored foods and beverages. We recommend refreshing your smile about every six months. For you convenience, we can provide home-whitening trays and professional-strength solution for use in the comfort of your own home.
