Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Zoom! Whitening is a new form of teeth whitening offered by Drs. Robert G. West and Denise VeyVoda at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists. There are two forms of Zoom! Whitening available, Zoom! In-Office Whitening System and Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System. Both of these types of whitening offer an increase in at least 6 shades of brightness to your smile.

 

Teeth become discolored for a variety of reasons. Naturally, as we age, our teeth can start to lose their lackluster. Foods that are high in tannic acid, like grapes and tea, can have an effect. The most infamous teeth stainers are coffee and cigarettes. For some, cutting back on these items can bring their smile back up to where they want it. For others, Zoom! Whitening is the answer.

 

The Zoom! In-Office System takes about an hour to complete. It utilizes a light-activated whitening gel made out of hydrogen peroxide. The gel is placed onto your teeth and the light is turned on. This causes the hydrogen peroxide to break down. Oxygen is able to enter the teeth and whiten them. The entire procedure is completely painless. Many people just relax during the whitening, either sleeping, reading, or watching TV.

 

The Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System consists of take-home whitening trays and gels for you to use. Over three days, you will wear the whitening gel for 4-8 hours. Our dentists will let you know how long you should be wearing them for exactly.

 

There is almost no difference between the two forms, besides the obvious: one takes place at the office while the other takes place at your home. The Take-Home system brightens your smile by six shades, while the In-Office system brightens about eight shades.

Have A Whiter Smile This Year!

Everyone likes to make a make a great impression with a nice bright smile.  The Oyster Bay Family Dentists provide an at-home whitening system to patients that you can use to whiten and brighten your smile gradually at home.  Patients with serious and minor stains can both see great results from this whitening treatment.  A consultation can help you determine how severe your stains are and what kind of results you can expect from a whitening treatment.  Come visit us about teeth whitening and start the New Year with your best smile!

To whiten your teeth at home, we outfit patients with whitening gel and a set of custom trays for application.  A dentist takes an impression of your teeth, and from this impression two custom trays are made for your top and bottom teeth.  The trays are made for you to take home and use by applying gel to the trays and then fitting them over your teeth. The dentist’s recommendation of how often to treat and how long each treatment should last may vary.  When following the dentist’s recommendations, most patients see results of teeth whitening 4-8 shades.

Cosmetic Dental Services

Cosmetic dentistry services are very popular, from whitening, and shaping to closing spaces and replacing teeth. Common procedures include bleaching, bonding, crowns, and veneers. Also, these improvements are not always just cosmetic. Many of these treatments can improve oral problems, such as your bite. If you wish to enhance the appearance and health of your smile, schedule a consultation with The Oyster Bay Family Dentists.

The Oyster Bay Family Dentists use cosmetic dentistry to preserve as much of a patient’s natural teeth as possible. As a team, they make cosmetic dental procedures such as smile makeovers comfortable and convenient for you. Cosmetic services range from teeth whitening to dental bonding, to veneers. We offer state-of-the-art dental care to all of our patients and promise to give each one of them the smile they’ve always dreamed of.

Teeth Whitening

The Oyster Bay Family Dentists see many patients who want to be able to present their brightest and whitest smile.  Many ask the doctors and staff about over the counter products, and have tried them with underwhelming results.  Instead of winging it with retail products, come see us for a consultation and get your own custom whitening system!

During a consultation, your dentist will examine the level of staining on your teeth and be able to tell you what kind of results you can expect from the whitening system. To whiten your teeth at home, you will be fit with custom whitening trays made from molds of your teeth.  For a treatment, apply the whitening gel directly onto the trays and fit them over your teeth.  Your dentist will advise how often you should treat at home and how long each treatment can last.  Following dentist’s instructions, patients have seen this system whiten their smiles 4-8 shades!

Extrinsic Tooth Stains

Tooth discoloration can make even the healthiest smile look undesirable. We’ve previously discussed intrinsic stains in a previous post, but now our doctors at The Oyster Bay Family Dentists would like to discuss extrinsic stains. Extrinsic tooth stains occur on the outer surfaces of the teeth and can range in color from yellow to dark brown. Though extrinsic staining isn’t detrimental to your oral health, it may affect your self-esteem. Fortunately, we offer whitening services to fix that.

If you regularly drink beverages like coffee, tea, soda, or wine, your teeth may eventually develop a dark hue. Additionally, lifestyle habits such as smoking may also cause extrinsic stains on the tooth. Most often, extrinsic stains can be removed with professional whitening treatment. Not everyone is a candidate for whitening, so to discuss if this treatment method is right for you, schedule a consultation with The Oyster Bay Family Dentists.

Zoom Whitening

Are you afraid to show some teeth in your selfies because you’re self-conscious about discoloration? If so, The Oyster Bay Family Dentists have a solution, with Zoom whitening. Zoom is a bleaching process used to lighten discoloration of enamel and dentin which may be caused by food and beverages and/or smoking. With a whiter smile, you can feel better about yourself while decreasing your risk of developing oral problems.

During your consultation, our doctors will examine your teeth and gums to ensure that they are in good health. If you are able to move forward, you will sit in our dental chair and receive three whitening gel applications for a total treatment time of 45 minutes. Once completed, you will receive instructions on how to practice proper oral care. It’s important to understand that your teeth won’t stay white on your own; you will need to maintain the brightness with daily brushing and flossing. Additionally, you should refrain from smoking, as tobacco products will stain teeth.
