Teeth Whitening
Minneapolis, MN
Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the gel for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades!
For optimal results, it is recommended to schedule a professional cleaning prior to undergoing the Zoom™ process. This process is highly efficient and typically takes less than an hour.
To ensure your comfort and prevent any irritation, we take precautions to safeguard your lips and gums during the bleaching procedure. We then apply the Zoom!™ hydrogen peroxide whitening gel to your teeth, which remains on them for approximately 15 minutes. The Zoom!™ light is utilized to activate a reaction that eliminates stains and discoloration. The gel's oxygen effectively penetrates the enamel and dentin, bleaching the stains without altering the structure of your teeth.
The Zoom™ light is used to apply the gel three times, with each application lasting 15 minutes. This results in a total treatment time of approximately 45 minutes. Following the treatment, we apply a fluoride solution to minimize tooth sensitivity.
