Zoom Teeth Whitening Most people desire to have brighter smiles, and they do a great job by brushing and flossing regularly. Although, not everyone has the luck of keeping their teeth as bright as they want. Having a bright smile creates an impression on people you meet, while radiating warmth and happiness. While most people consider teeth whitening to keep their smiles as bright as possible, doing it the right way is very crucial. At Capitol Square Dental, we help our patients achieve a brighter smile, while they sit back and enjoy our professional teeth whitening procedure.What Is Teeth Whitening?Teeth whitening is a process done to make your teeth appear lighter. It is a popular cosmetic dental practice to enhance the smile of any patient. While it is effective in lightening the color of a tooth, it cannot make it absolutely white. When done professionally, the procedure is done in a monitored environment and the results achieved are very satisfying. After a successful teeth whitening procedure, you will have your youthful smile back with increased confidence. Why Do Teeth Change Color?Our teeth change colors due to so many reasons. Age is a major reason. As we grow older, very few people get to keep their brilliant white shade of teeth. Most of us have to work hard to maintain a closer shade to what we initially had. Consumption of beverages, wine, drinks, and food with deep and dark colors also affects the teeth. Some stain our teeth, while some even cause the enamel to erode. Smoking habits or the use of some strong medication can affect the teeth's color over time. Some people get some discoloration due to traumas and injuries too. Your Teeth Whitening OptionsThere are many ways to whiten teeth. You can decide to do it all by yourself or use products sold over the counter. Since teeth whitening is a type of cosmetic dentistry, it is always best to have it done by a certified dental professional. While some spas and salons may offer this service, it is advisable to ignore them as they might compromise your oral health. Moreover, professional whitening involves the use of prescribed products to ensure that side effects are minimized, and the entire procedure is safe. How Is a Professional Teeth Whitening Done?Once you come in for your appointment, our team would examine your teeth to ensure that it is suitable for a whitening procedure. Furthermore, we would review your medical records to ensure that the tools and products used will not raise any issues. The whitening product is also customized for the patient. An impression of your teeth will be taken to make a customized tray or a mouth guard. Shielding your gums, we will smear the whitening product which contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide on your teeth. Usually, the whole process would be repeated during the next couple of weeks, but you can continue it yourself at home for convenience. More advanced options of professional whitening include the use of lasers. With laser whitening, a customized bleaching product will spread on the teeth and a laser light is shone on it to activate the process. Getting professional teeth whitening is always the best choice as we can monitor side effects and respond appropriately.
