Looking for Zoom in DeSoto, TX? For an appointment at DeSoto Smile Studio, call our office today or make an appointment today. A bright, vibrant smile can transform your appearance and boost your confidence. At our practice, we utilize Zoom, a bleaching process widely used to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin, helping you achieve a radiant smile in a single visit.
How Zoom® Whitening Works
Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea, cola, and red wine, or from smoking. The aging process also can stain and darken your teeth over time. The Zoom in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp—to accelerate the bleaching process—to activate the 25 percent hydrogen peroxide whitening gel.
As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. Before deciding whether Zoom in-office teeth whitening is right for you, Dr. Alex Shafiey will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure proper health. We also take the time to talk with you about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits to determine if you will benefit from whitening, ensuring a personalized approach to your cosmetic goals.
The Zoom® In-Office Whitening Procedure
At DeSoto Smile Studio, we prioritize your comfort throughout the whitening process. The procedure is designed to be efficient and effective:
- Preparation: The procedure begins with a short preparation to cover the lips and gums, leaving only the teeth exposed for treatment.
- Application: The dentist or dental assistant then applies the Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which works together with the Zoom light to penetrate the teeth and break up deep-set stains.
- Activation: The gel remains in place for 15 minutes while the light is activated.
- Sessions: The gel is applied for three 15-minute sessions of light activation, for a total treatment time of 45 minutes.
- Post-treatment care: Immediately afterwards, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is applied to the teeth to ensure a comfortable experience.
Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure. Because we focus on a concierge, patient-first experience, we encourage you to discuss any concerns with our team so we can tailor the experience to your comfort level.
