Zoom!® Dental Whitening at Newhouse Periodontics

Welcome to Newhouse Periodontics, where we are dedicated to helping you achieve your brightest smile with our Zoom!® dental whitening services. Our expert team, state-of-the-art technology, and patient satisfaction commitment ensure you receive the best possible care and stunning results.

The Zoom!® Chairside Bleaching System

Imagine achieving a dazzling white smile in just a couple of hours. At Newhouse Periodontics, we use Philips Oral Healthcare’s Zoom!® chairside bleaching system, a revolutionary method that can dramatically whiten teeth in a single session. Because the Zoom! ® system is renowned for its efficiency and effectiveness while minimizing tooth sensitivity, it is a very popular dental whitening choice.

What to Expect with Zoom!®

Preparation and Consultation

Your journey to a whiter smile begins with a thorough consultation. Dr. Newhouse and her team will evaluate your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and determine if you are a good candidate for the Zoom!® chairside bleaching system. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your needs and delivers the best possible results.

The Whitening Process

The entire process takes about one-and-one-half to two hours from start to finish. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect:

• Initial Preparation: We start by protecting your lips and gums so that only your teeth are exposed. This ensures safety and comfort during and after the procedure.
• Application of Whitening Gel: We will apply Zoom!® whitening gel to your teeth. This gel contains hydrogen peroxide, which breaks down stains and discoloration.
  
• Activation with Zoom!® Light: The Zoom!® light activates the gel, accelerating the whitening process. The light and gel penetrate the teeth and remove deep-seated stains.
  
• Multiple Applications: To achieve optimal results, this process may be repeated several times, typically in 15-minute increments. The actual bleaching process usually takes about an hour.
  
• Post-Treatment Care: Once the desired shade is reached, we apply a fluoride treatment to your teeth to reduce sensitivity and strengthen your enamel.

The Results

On average, patients typically see a lightening of 3 to 7 shades with a single treatment session. Although results can vary based on individual factors such as the initial color of your teeth, dental health, and lifestyle habits, we are confident you will love the outcome. Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and your smile brighter, boosting your confidence and overall appearance.

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with high fluoride toothpaste and perform interdental cleaning whether with floss or interdental brushes.
