As we get older, our teeth inevitably age. They lose that clean white look and become caked with yellow and brown stains from years of use. We have all heard of teeth bleaching treatments, and we have heard the horror stories. All of us have heard the story of the patient going in to get his/her teeth whitened, only to emerge from the process with teeth that are painfully sensitive. Or, there’s the story of someone getting his/her teeth whitened, only to find that the teeth still look pretty much the same. Well, those horror stories are a thing of the past. A new technique developed by Dr. Rod Kurthy has emerged. It is known as the Zoom Whitening System, and it is the most innovative and effective teeth whitening treatment available today. The results will amaze you.
The Zoom Whitening System is a simple and nearly pain free process. First, your Dr. Douglas Lippert will take molds of your teeth. Once the molds are ready, you will return to our office, where your we will begin the conditioning process. A tray filled with a gel will be placed in your mouth. This gel breaks up the long chain stain molecules in your teeth. It is these molecules that appear as stains on your teeth. Afterward, your teeth will look better, but the bleaching process is not yet over.
Dr. Douglas Lippert will send you home with a home bleaching kit. The kit consists of gel trays and bleaching gels. You will be instructed to wear the gel tray every night for fourteen days. At the end of the fourteen days, your teeth will be much more white. They’ll be so white, that you may think that the process is over. Well, there’s still one more step.
You will make a return visit to the dentist, wherein bleaching gel will be applied, as well as a desensitizing gel to your teeth. What happens is that the bleaching gel cleans the stains from your teeth, but it also unplugs the microscopic holes that make up the surface of your teeth. And when those holes are unplugged, the teeth will become overly sensitive. The desensitizing gel plugs those holes, thereby desensitizing the teeth.
Two out of three patients experience no sensitivity during this process. The ones who do experience sensitivity, rate it at less than ten percent, and over time, the sensitivity dissipates to nothing. At the end of this return visit, your teeth will appear even more white than when you arrived. You will marvel at how white and natural your teeth look.
Once the bleaching process is done, you may wonder whether or not you have to give up all those stain-inducing substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, and rich food. The answer is “no.” All that is required to maintain your white teeth is to wear the gel tray one night every four months, and that’s it. No lifestyle changes. No pain from overly sensitive teeth. Zoom Whitening System will give you a smile you can be proud of, and one that others will be happy to see.
