They're typically less expensive than an in-office teeth bleaching, so you may find it difficult to resist the temptation of purchasing one. However, in-office teeth whitening provides several benefits.  <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> 1. Better for Your Gums  </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Your gums are sensitive, especially when it comes to the bleaching agent used in teeth whitening products. Typically, the active ingredient is a peroxide. Unfortunately, the most common side effect of teeth whitening is gum irritation.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The trays sold in stores receive no customization. They're all the same and only vary based on the brand. For this reason, they may not fit your mouth properly and may increase your risk of gum irritation. On the other hand, if you use a teeth whitening kit that allows you to apply the bleaching agent directly to your teeth, you may accidentally expose your gums to the bleach.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> With an in-house whitening treatment, the entire process revolves around your specific needs. The dentist customizes the tray to your mouth and takes the necessary steps to protect your gums from the bleach as much as possible.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> 2. Better Whitening of All Teeth   </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> You receive a better whitening of all of your teeth when you opt for a professional teeth whitening procedure. As mentioned above, the teeth trays you purchase in the stores are a one-size-fits-all approach to whitening, even though everyone's teeth are different. When you use at-home kits, they may not whiten all of your teeth in the exact same manner for this reason.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> With an in-house whitening, the dentist tailors the tray to your mouth. Therefore, every one of your teeth receives the same level of bleaching. Overall, you'll have an evenly white smile when you opt for a professional whitening.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> 3. Better Results in General  </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The products you find in the store don't have the potency of bleach as the ones provided by your dentist. This means that you may need several treatments to get even near the results you want. With an in-house whitening treatment, the bleach is stronger. Although the bleach is stronger, dentists only use a strength that's still safe.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Overall, you receive a whiter smile at the office than if you opt for an at-home kit. You may achieve a smile that's several shades brighter with a professional whitening than a store-bought kit.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> 4. Quicker Results   </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The results of a dentist-provided teeth whitening are quicker. You may require more than one treatment to receive the results you want, but the results take less time to appear. Additionally, the results are more drastic, which is why the whitening process occurs more quickly.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> 5. Safer   </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> You can only whiten your teeth so often. If you whiten them too frequently, you put yourself at a higher risk for side effects.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> With a professional whitening, your practitioner controls how frequently you may bleach your teeth. In other words, you can't overbleach your teeth, which minimizes your chances of negative effects.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Additionally, teeth bleaching isn't right for everyone. Your dentist can evaluate your current oral health and determine if the process is safe for you. If you have any oral health problems that a dentist can address to ensure your safety, he or she will address them before you proceed with the whitening treatment.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Besides whitening toothpastes, you may choose between at-home kits from the store to bleach your teeth or an in-house whitening procedure. Whitening from a dentist can provide you with better results more quickly and in a safe manner.   </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <a href="https://www.aicodds.com/dental-exams"> <span> </span> </a> <span> <a href="https://www.aicodds.com/dental-exams"> <span> Contact Aico's Dental Group </span> </a> </span> to discover the benefits of an in-office whitening for yourself. We serve Westlake, Garfield Heights, and the surrounding OH regions.  </div> </div> Tue, 23 Jun 2020 19:16:45 GMT https://www.aicodds.com/5-reasons-to-choose-an-in-office-teeth-whitening thumbnail main image https://www.aicodds.com/what-you-should-know-about-zoom-teeth-whitening Zoom teeth whitening may suit your needs better than either home-based whitening or laser teeth whitening. See some key points to understand about it. <div data-rss-type="text"> Modern dental technology has made many procedures quicker, easier, and more effective than ever, including teeth whitening. If you've thought about your teeth professionally whitened, you should look into Zoom teeth whitening, more officially known as the Zoom Chairside Whitening System. <div>   <div> This advanced form of clinical teeth whitening has benefits that may make it more suitable for your needs than either home-based whitening methods or laser teeth whitening. Here are some key points to understand about it. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> How the Zoom Process Works </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The first step in the Zoom process involves an initial dental evaluation in which the dentist determines whether you'll benefit from this form of whitening. If you have crowns or veneers, for instance, they will not whiten along with your natural teeth. If you plan to get these in the future, however, preliminary whitening makes good sense. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Once the dentist has confirmed that you can benefit from Zoom teeth whitening, a protective sheet will go over your gums, with the teeth exposed to receive the bleaching agent. A gel of hydrogen peroxide goes onto the teeth for <b> <a href="https://www.yourdentistryguide.com/zoom-whitening/" target="_blank"> 15 minutes </a> </b> at a time, for a total of three applications, while you simply relax in the chair. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> During these 15-minute applications, the dentist will aim a UV light at the gel. This energy causes oxidation, which helps the peroxide penetrate the tooth enamel and eliminate stains more thoroughly. </div> <div> Following your Zoom procedure, you'll undergo a fluoride treatment and receive a set of customized whitening trays (for touch-up purposes). The dentist may also caution you to avoid known staining agents such as tobacco, coffee, and red wine. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> How Zoom Compares to Home Teeth Whitening </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> You'll find a dramatic difference between the experience you get from Zoom whitening versus home teeth whitening products. These products usually include strips or trays that contain a weak peroxide solution. You mold these products to your teeth as best you can and wear them an hour a day for <b> <a href="https://www.123dentist.com/home-whitening-vs-in-office-whitening/" target="_blank"> 7 to 10 days </a> </b> . </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> In addition to the time and effort required, home whitening products produce less satisfactory results than Zoom professional teeth whitening. The imperfect fit of the products may leave some nooks and crannies less white than others, while the peroxide solution can burn sensitive gum tissues when inexpertly applied.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Zoom uses a much stronger peroxide bleaching agent than home products can offer, with a concentration of 25 percent. At the same time, the dentist can protect your gums from this bleaching agent by first applying a protective cover to them. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The stronger solution provides greater whitening power in a relatively short amount of time, which gives you the bright smile you seek in a single dental appointment. The more precise application also allows for more even coverage and a more consistently white smile. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Under certain conditions, your dentist may actually recommend home whitening techniques for your particular needs. For example, breastfeeding or pregnant women should use home methods instead of professional teeth whitening methods, even if those methods work less effectively. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> <b> How Zoom Compares to Laser Teeth Whitening </b> </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Zoom shares many things in common with laser teeth whitening, and you might easily get these two procedures confused. Both combine the professional application of medical-grade peroxide solution with the use of light to cure the solution, which whitens teeth quickly and efficiently. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The main difference between these two techniques regards the type of light used to cure the bleaching agent. Instead of the UV light common to the Zoom technique, laser teeth whitening employs the amplified light of a laser beam, passing the beam carefully over each tooth one at a time.  </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> The Zoom technique offers a couple of advantages over laser teeth whitening. Because the UV light doesn't carry any thermal energy, the dentist doesn't risk overheating the teeth, a problem that may occur when a laser is used. Zoom also costs about half as much, on average, as laser teeth whitening. </div> <div> As with other kinds of teeth whitening, Zoom may not work well for every kind of discoloration. If you have tetracycline stains, for instance, you may get better results by having <a href="https://www.dentistrytoday.com/aesthetics/10084-a-restorative-challenge-tetracycline-stainedteeth" target="_blank"> <b> veneers </b> </a> applied to the visible sides of the teeth. </div> <div> <br/> </div> <div> Aico's Dental Group proudly offers the Zoom Chairside Whitening System. <a href="/dental-exams"> <b> Contact us </b> </a> to learn more. </div> <div> <br/> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 05 May 2020 15:59:00 GMT https://www.aicodds.com/what-you-should-know-about-zoom-teeth-whitening
