Reasons Your Teeth May Look Less Than Pearly White

There are many reasons your teeth may become yellow or gray looking over time. Discoloration can happen from the foods we eat and certain drinks such as tea, coffee, or red wine, and smoking tobacco can also stain your teeth. Age and certain medications also play a role in our teeth becoming stained.

Most of the time, it is out of our control when our teeth start to look less than pearly white, so how can we fix it? First, let’s take a look at some whitening options.

Your Teeth Whitening Options

There are thousands of different whitening options on the market, from whitening toothpaste and over-the-counter strips to professional-grade treatments in your dental office. But which one will work best for you?

Over-the-counter options, such as strips, usually only whiten the outer layer of teeth. If you have issues with sensitive teeth or deeper stains on your tooth enamel, this option might not be ideal for you.

Professional-grade teeth whitening products are typically performed by a dentist in your dental office or created as custom trays that patients can take home, and the cost of these products can vary. These treatments take more extended (typically an hour to 90 minutes), and the results are both immediate and dramatic, but the downside is that they can also cause more discomfort and sensitivity.

At PK Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, we offer the latest dental technology with Zoom! teeth whitening to our patients. We want you to have a bright smile and healthy teeth.

How does Zoom! work?

Zoom! is a safe, comfortable, and fast way to whiten your teeth. It is a bleaching process that lightens the enamel and the dentin in your teeth. Zoom! contains a hydrogen peroxide component that eliminates the yellow and staining from teeth. A special light is then used to activate the whitening gel and speed up the whitening process. This unique light protects teeth from sensitivity and keeps them healthy. Results may vary, and it can only be applied to healthy teeth and gums. If there is any sign of tooth decay or gum disease, your dentist will treat those conditions first before beginning the teeth whitening process.

What are the advantages of using Zoom! for teeth whitening?

Zoom! is a safe and efficient way to whiten teeth, and it is fast, effective, and convenient, and there is no recovery time. After teeth whitening, you can eat and drink whatever your heart desires. Here are a few advantages Zoom! has over other teeth whitening options.

• All teeth are treated simultaneously.
• Treatment time is faster (around one hour).
• It provides longer-lasting results.

What to Expect During a Zoom! Treatment

We will discuss your treatment plans during the consultation and resolve any questions. Our dentist will clean your teeth on treatment day to remove debris and plaque. Then, our dentist will provide eyewear and splash guards to protect your eyes and clothes.

Then the procedure will continue as follows:

• Cheek retractors will be placed to expose all surfaces of teeth.
• The gums will be covered to protect them from sensitivity.
• The dentist will apply the whitening gel to the teeth.
• The dentist will use the halide light to activate the gel on all teeth.
• After 15 minutes, the gel will be removed, and the mouth will be rinsed.
• More gel will be applied for another 15 minutes.
• The gel will be rinsed again.
• The last application will be used for another 15 minutes.
• The gel will be removed for a final time and rinsed thoroughly.

After this teeth whitening appointment, you will experience a brighter, whiter smile to show off to the world. Be sure to continue a regular oral hygiene routine, eliminate smoking, and utilize the Zoom! Weekender for a touchup when needed to maintain your beautiful white smile.
