By Adriana Noton

The food we eat, beverages we drink, and our lifestyle habits, can all have a negative impact on our teeth. Such products as dark colas, sugar drinks, coffee, wine, tea, fruit juices, and smoking can change the color of our teeth to an unattractive yellow and brown, For many people, the result can be a feeling of embarrassment and insecurity about smiling, Fortunately, there are now a number of teeth whitening methods available. One such method is Zoom Teeth Whitening.

Zoom teeth whitening is a non invasive teeth whitening procedure performed by a Dentist or Dental Hygienist. When performing the zoom whitening procedure, the professional will cover the lips and gums leaving only the teeth exposed. A special protective lip retractor device is used to keep your lips away from your teeth and protect the gums. The purpose is to minimize sensitivity and discomfort during and after the procedure. The dentist will then apply the zoom whitening gel to the teeth. Once the teeth have been covered with the gel, a special zoom light is used on the teeth which cause the gel to penetrate the enamel and remove the stains. The specially designed zoom light will stimulate the gel containing hydrogen peroxide which then penetrates the surface of the tooth.

As it penetrates the dentin and enamel, bleaching of the teeth takes place. The process is repeated at 15 minute intervals. Each time another bleaching takes place, a new layer of gel is applied to the teeth. The procedure is performed 3 times and it takes approximately one hour. After the zoom whitening procedure, there are immediate visual results. There have been reports of improvements in teeth that were up to eight shades whiter.

As a non invasive whitening procedure, patients may feel mild sensitivity or a tingling sensation, but there is no pain. The process itself is not uncomfortable. Any sensitivity will normally last a couple of hours or 24 hours at the most. During the teeth whitening process, patients will feel quite comfortable with no distress. After a zoom treatment, patients will see a dramatic improvement in the color of their teeth. They will be much whiter and brighter. The results will last a long time as long as you maintain a proper flossing and brushing routine. If you have very bad teeth, you may have to eventually go in for a touch up session. Depending on where you live and competition in the area, you can expect to pay somewhere between $400 and $700. It is available at a dental clinic.

Zoom teeth whitening has become one of the most popular choices for whitening one's teeth.
