Are you thinking about whitening your smile but unsure which product to choose? Your best option is to schedule a visit with our dentist. At Timeless Dental we offer both Zoom® and laser teeth whitening.
Call us at 281-681-3300 to make an appointment with Dr. John Rodriquez and find out which treatment is right for you.
How Zoom Works
Zoom delivers the best results when performed after a routine teeth cleaning to remove plaque and bacteria. The whitening gel, activated by the Zoom light, breaks up stains and discoloration on your teeth. While the entire procedure takes about an hour, each whitening session lasts 15 minutes.
During the procedure, the gel is applied and activated by the light, staying on your teeth for 15 minutes at a time. After each session, the gel is washed off and reapplied two more times, for a total of three 15-minute sessions. Once the process is complete, a paste is applied to reduce tooth sensitivity post-treatment. Patients with dental anxiety or those with a sensitive gag reflex may find the procedure challenging, but the results are often well worth it.
Maintaining Your Results
Zoom provides patients with a touch-up kit to help maintain their bright smiles. The kit includes custom-fitted whitening trays designed to prolong the effects of the treatment. Our dentist will explain how to properly use the kit to avoid irritation. You may be advised to avoid dark liquids such as coffee, tea, and wine, as well as tobacco products, which can stain teeth over time. Regular brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and the longevity of your whitening results.
After your Zoom treatment, your Timeless Dental team will provide instructions on how to continue whitening at home. Schedule an appointment with our dentist for a thorough examination of your teeth and to discuss your whitening options.
