Before and After Pictures: Whitening Procedures >>
How long do the effects of tooth whitening last?
Every patient is different, so the length of time the whitening lasts may be
as short as a few weeks to as long as 3 years - or sometimes even longer.
The longevity of whitening effects will be dependent on patient habits (tobacco, wine, cola use, etc.).
Some patients like to touch up yearly, but this will again depend on patient habits.
What are necessary precautions after bleaching?
Do not consume food that might cause stains, such as red wine, cigarrett, coffee.
You may encounter some sensitivity, even though the new system has decreased sensitivity.
Office Teeth Whitening (Zoom2)
The newest power teeth whitening system Zoom2 is available as part of our services to enhance your healthy smile.
Here are some of the frequently asked questions from the patients.
Who should have the In-Office Bleach?
- Person who thinks they want it fast (Office bleach probably is equivalent of 10 applications of Home Bleach)
- Person who don't think they cannot wear the Bleaching trays in the mouth, even though our trays are quite comfortable
What is the procedure?
The procedure time is about 2 hours.
The actual bleaching is 3 or 4 sessions of 15 minutes.
However we need additional 30-60 minutes to prepare the teeth for bleaching
and also do appropriate gels to desensitize and strengthen the teeth. more >>
