| What is Zoom Whitening ? |
| Zoom Whitening is a bleaching process which lightens discolouration of the enamel and dentin. The complete procedure takes just less than 1 hour, and a cleaning is recommended before the bleaching process. |
| How does it work ? |
You can have a radiant white smile that can last for years and can easily be touched up with trays. Clinical tests have shown that Britesmile is one of the safest ways to whiten your teeth because it uses "blue-light" technology combined with a
proprietary new, wave-length specific gentle bleaching gel. |
| Who can it help ? |
| Virtually anyone can whiten their teeth with this technique, even people with severe food, coffee, tobacco or tetracycline stains. |
| Why can't I do this at home ? |
| Some non-dental sources offer at home bleaching kits, and some of these can be effective. However, custom made trays are recommended to prevent burning the gums. Also, some of these products have strong bleach solutions that can cause your teeth to become very sensitive. |
| Is it painful ? |
| Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate. You can also ask your dentist to supply you with anti-sensitivity toothpaste for use prior to treatment. |
| Is it expensive ? |
No it isn't. In fact, if your medical bills (including dental fees) are more than $1500.00 in a financial year they can come off tax.
And as an added courtesy, we will bill most insurance companies on your behalf. So you no longer need to send the account to the company!
