WHAT CAUSES DISCOLORED TEETH?

Dental stains and discoloration can occur for a number of reasons over time, including the following:

If you’ve struggled to improve your smile with store-bought whitening products and other lackluster solutions, turn to our doctors and the rest of our staff here at Flawless Smile Dentistry for the effective and comfortable cosmetic attention you deserve. In-office ZOOM! Whitening can create the dramatic improvements you’ve been dreaming of in record time using advanced teeth bleaching techniques!

THE ZOOM TEETH WHITENING PROCESS

Today, ZOOM! Whitening products are safely used in over 15,000 dental offices all over the world. The process begins with the patient getting comfortable in our treatment chair; our team members will place plenty of protective covering over both your lips and gum tissue to prevent any incidental contact. Then, our doctors will apply the high-quality ZOOM! gel directly to the teeth and activate it with a special, low-heat light. This combination works in unison to eliminate even the deepest of stains and discolored areas from your tooth enamel. After the gel has done its job, a quick fluoride treatment will complete your one-hour process. That’s it – you’re finished, and you have gorgeous, white teeth to show off once you step foot outside our Claremore, OK office. In most cases, patients can expect to achieve teeth that are anywhere from six to ten shades whiter after their ZOOM! Whitening. Sometimes, the improvements even continue days after the appointment, and they should last for years with routine brushing, flossing, and professional cleanings. Just in case, our doctors will provide patients with a touch-up kit that contains custom-made oral trays and whitening gel to use at home if any further discoloration occurs.

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

Store-bought whitening strips and home kits use lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which means slower and less predictable whitening results. Professional teeth whitening uses a controlled whitening gel activated by a special light, allowing deeper removal of surface stains and intrinsic stains. Because dental professionals monitor the whitening process, the risk of enamel damage, gum irritation, or uneven whitening is significantly reduced.
Some patients notice temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening, especially if they already have sensitive teeth or exposed enamel. Professional whitening solutions often include ingredients such as potassium nitrate to help reduce sensitivity. Your dentist will evaluate the surface of your teeth and recommend ways to protect enamel during the whitening process. Most sensitivity fades within 24–48 hours.
ZOOM! Whitening is highly effective against surface stains caused by foods like coffee and red wine, as well as natural discoloration from aging. Deep intrinsic stains from certain medications or long-term exposure may require multiple whitening sessions or an alternative cosmetic dentistry treatment. During your consultation, the dentist will determine whether whitening, veneers, or another option gives you the brightest, most consistent result.
Whitening gels only lighten natural teeth. Dental restorations such as dental crowns, veneers, and bonding 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.
Results from professional whitening can last years with good oral hygiene and mindful habits. Avoiding frequent exposure to dark drinks, using custom trays for touch-up whitening gel when needed, and scheduling routine cleanings help maintain a whiter smile. Your dentist will provide guidance on the amount of time between touch-up treatments based on your tooth color and lifestyle.
