THE ZOOM TEETH WHITENING PROCESS
IS TEETH WHITENING SAFE FOR MY TEETH?
The American Dental Association has conducted various studies and research on this topic, and the results indicate that professional whitening is safe as long as it’s under the supervision of a trained dentist. However, ZOOM! Whitening is not ideal for children who are under the age of 13 or women who are currently pregnant. Patients who struggle with excessive light sensitivity also may not be able to safely complete the procedure. If any of these situations fit you, talk to our doctors about alternative options – they will be happy to help you devise a smile makeover plan that works best for your unique situation.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between professional whitening and over-the-counter whitening products?
Will teeth whitening make my teeth more sensitive?
Can teeth whitening remove deep stains from coffee, red wine, or medications?
Will teeth whitening work on dental restorations like crowns?
Whitening gels only lighten natural teeth. Dental restorations such as dental crowns, veneers do not respond to bleaching agents. Your dentist will help you plan whitening around existing dental work so the color of your teeth and restorations match your final tooth color. If needed, your dentist may recommend updating older restorations after whitening for the most natural look.
