It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint on a house will do to improve it’s appearance. Or having an old vehicle given a new paint job. Or even having a piece of furniture refinished.
To no surprise, having your teeth whitened also gives a smile a tremendous pick-me-up. And, what’s even better, whitening teeth is affordable, quick and long-lasting.
However, there is a significant difference between teeth whitening systems offered by dentists, such as Zoom 2, versus what is sold over-the-counter. Although you can purchase a quick-&-easy whitening kit everywhere from the grocery store to the drug store, are you really getting a reasonable amount of whitening for the money you’re being charged?
There are four factors to consider when you’re thinking of whitening your teeth:
• Degree of whitening – If you have just mild surface yellowing, a drug store whitening kit may be all you need. However, to truly make a difference in teeth that have yellowed, grayed or browned or those with deeper stains, a professional level of whitening is needed. These are designed to go deeper in the tooth and lighten beyond what is just surface staining. Our Zoom 2 system tackles very deep stains to provide a significant level of white.
• Longevity of whitening – When you whitening your teeth, you certainly don’t want to lose the look after several months. Yet, that can happen when you use kits that only tackle surface discoloration. Although we advise our Zoom 2 patients to take measures to lessen the staining effects of red wine, coffee and blueberries, the longevity of whitening is far beyond what OTC kits can offer. Remember, with store-bought kits, you’re only treating surface stains. With Zoom 2, you’re getting down deep into the tooth to lighten. This helps you enjoy a whiter, brighter smile for a long time.
• Safety and sensitivity – Because Zoom 2 is administered in a dentist’s office under a dentist’s supervision, the safety of your teeth and gums is an important part of the process. Trying to maximize the level of whiteness through a kit’s limited potential is risky. Zoom 2 is designed to create minimal, if any, sensitivity to gum tissues and is safe for both teeth and gums. When drug store kits’ directions are not followed to the letter, you risk the well-being of your smile. Mishaps to tooth enamel or gum tissues can be costly to repair. It’s best to stick with a dental professional.
• Quick and easy – While many store-bought kits require a brief amount of time, the process may require time spent every day for a week or more to accomplish noticeable whitening. Our Zoom 2 process requires about an hour. You just sit back and relax and we’ll do the rest!
Whiter teeth are an affordable way to make flaws in a smile less noticeable. Plus, white teeth project a healthy, well-cared for smile that sends a positive message to others.
