Teeth whitening solutions that can be used in the comfort of one’s own home have become quite popular. How do stay at home solutions compare to powerful teeth whitening solutions like Zoom? You will find out here. The better teeth whitening solutions will still require a consultation with your dentist. They are potentially dangerous if used incorrectly, but can be effective if you follow the instructions. The thing that you need to remember about whitening your teeth is that you are bleaching the enamel. The most common bleach that is used is hydrogen peroxide, the amount of hydrogen peroxide in your whitening gel will vary slightly from brand to brand, but only slightly. The whitening process takes place over a period of time, sometimes up to several weeks. Some side effects have been reported by people in the past, but they tend to be mild. The results of home whitening can be rather impressive, but only if used correctly. If you are interested in whitening your teeth this way, please make an appointment at Wayzata Dental. Your dentist will be able to inform you whether or not a stay at home solution is appropriate for you. He or she will also be able to advise you of the correct way to use your whitening gel.

Zoom is a much more powerful solution that is employed by us here at Wayzata Dental. Zoom is an extremely powerful whitening system that takes place in a single sitting. Your dentist will start by covering your gums with a protective gel. Then he or she will begin the Zoom treatment. Your dentist will treat one third of your teeth at a time. The teeth that are to be treated will be coated with the Zoom whitening gel and then left to whiten. The process is enhanced by use of a metal halide light. Once one section is finished, your dentist will remove the whitening gel from the teeth and prepare the next section. After the third section is completed, you will be able to see some rather dramatic results. Zoom is so popular because it is fast. All it takes is a single sitting, your teeth can be whitened in under two hours. The results of Zoom tend to be more impressive than home whitening solutions because a much more powerful bleach is used and because it is professionally applied.

Which should you choose, Zoom or a stay at home solution? The best choice depends on your teeth. At Wayzata Dental, your dentist will be able to give you the best advice. It might be that your teeth are white enough that a stay at home solution will achieve all that you need. If your dentist believes this is so, he or she will advise you that it is the best option. If, however, your dentist believes that the results will come from Zoom, they will tell you that as well. If you have any questions about Zoom or about other whitening solutions, do not hesitate to ask.

Zoom has proved itself to be a safe and fast way to a whiter smile for many people. The Zoom system makes use of a hydrogen peroxide based whitening gel. The gel will be applied to your teeth by your dentist. The Zoom treatment process calls for applying the gel to your teeth in three distinct sections. After application, a special metal halide light is used to enhance the action of the gel. The Zoom gel is kept on your teeth for a total of twenty minutes per section and the entire treatment is completed in one sitting.

Zoom has two distinct advantages over stay at home options. First, it is faster. Treatments that you use in the comfort of your own home are convenient, but the treatment takes place over a period of time. Secondly, Zoom is more powerful. Using powerful bleaching agents on your teeth is potentially dangerous and cannot be done safely in your own home. A dentist can, however, apply these safely and can make use of special gels to protect your gums from the whitening gel. If you would like to whiten your teeth quickly and effectively, you can make an appointment with Wayzata Dental. They have a great deal of experience with whitening treatments and with the Zoom system.

There is no doubt about it, a great smile looks fantastic. Even if your teeth are not in perfect condition, a great smile is obtainable through cosmetic dentistry. There are a number of simple and relatively painless procedures that can have you looking much better and they are surprisingly affordable.

If your front teeth have been chipped or damaged then you might wish to opt for veneers. Veneers are a kind of cover for your teeth. They can transform crooked, discolored or misshapen teeth into a beautifully straight white smile. If your teeth are in otherwise good condition, you may wish to opt for a whitening procedure. Using modern Zoom technology, it is possible to whiten your teeth in as little as ninety minutes. These are just two of many ways that people have learned to smile more confidently with cosmetic dentistry.

If you are interested in cosmetic dentistry or would like to know more about cosmetic dentistry procedures, you can always make an appointment with Wayzata Dental.
