What you Can Expect from Zoom
By now you have probably heard of Zoom. Zoom is a teeth whitening procedure that is performed in our office here at <a href=”http://www.wayzatadental.com” target=”_blank” title=”Wayzata Dental”>Wayzata Dental</a>. It is performed in a single sitting and is extremely cost effective. It outperforms stay at home options considerably. The Zoom procedure begins with you being seated and getting comfortable. Then a retractor is used to get your lips out of the way and expose your teeth and gums. With your lips safely out of the way, your gums will be carefully coated with a protective gel. After this, your dentist can apply the whitening gel to the first section of your teeth.
Your teeth will be treated in three sections. After the Zoom gel is applied to a section, it’s action will be enhanced with a special Zoom metal halide light. After the first section is completed, the gel will be carefully removed and the next section will be prepared. After the last section is finished, your dentist will clean off the Zoom gel and remove the protective coating from your gums. He or she will then give you a mirror where you will be surprised to see your teeth much whiter than they were before. The average result of Zoom is teeth that are eight shades lighter. That is impressive by any standard.
Like any dental procedure, some people report side effects to Zoom. The side effect that some people experience is an acute sensitivity to cold. This will pass between one and three days. If you have any questions about Zoom or other whitening options, please make an appointment to see us at Wayzata Dental.
