Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Practically anyone can benefit from whitening, as it’s one of the least invasive treatments in dentistry. The best candidates have good oral health and a need to erase staining from their smiles. Zoom! whitening is highly effective against surface stains caused by food and drinks over time.
However, intrinsic discoloration caused by aging, medications, and years of smoking or vaping is more resilient and may require other types of treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Al will evaluate your smile to confirm whitening is the right fit. If intrinsic staining is the culprit, he'll recommend an alternative cosmetic solution.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Zoom! whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide-based gel that’s applied directly to your teeth. Once in place, a special ultraviolet light activates it, breaking down stains and allowing the whitening agents to penetrate deep into your enamel. The process is completed in two sessions during a single appointment, and most patients leave with teeth several shades brighter than when they arrived.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
For patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule, our team offers professional take-home whitening kits that make the process super convenient. Each kit includes a professional-strength whitening gel and custom-fitted trays, so you get consistent, even results. Wear them as directed in the comfort of your own home and watch your smile brighten day by day!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
For patients who want dramatic results fast, Zoom! in-office whitening is the clear choice. In a single visit to our Raynham office, Dr. Al applies the whitening gel and uses the Zoom! light to activate it. This creates a chemical reaction that delivers results in about an hour that would take weeks to achieve at home. It's a great option before a big event, a job interview, or any occasion where first impressions matter.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Getting your teeth whitened is the easy part—keeping them bright takes a little effort. But it’s not difficult. A few simple habits go a long way:
- Rinse During or After Eating: Food and drink, especially anything with a dark pigment, will leave some stains behind. Swishing with water during your meal or doing a quick rinse afterward helps wash away pigments before they settle.
- Use a Whitening Toothpaste: Brushing with a gentle whitening toothpaste a few times a week can help remove surface buildup between touch-ups.
- Keep Up with Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings at our office remove tartar and surface stains that brushing can't reach.
- Touch Up as Needed: A take-home kit is perfect for periodic touch-ups to maintain your results between visits.
