The Rising Popularity of Teeth Whitening
The popularity of teeth whitening is on the rise as everyone desires a dazzling white smile. However, factors like age, genetics, and diet make it challenging to maintain white teeth. As a result, people are turning to teeth whitening products and procedures to achieve the desired results.
Although the dental aisle is filled with many over-the-counter whitening products, they often offer subpar results and pose a greater risk of damaging teeth, irritating gums, and causing sensitivity. To safely and effectively whiten teeth, it’s essential to seek the expertise of a professional. That’s why the Roswell and Alpharetta cosmetic dentists from Northbridge Dental offer ZOOM!® teeth whitening, a superior in-office and take-home alternative to store-bought whitening kits.

Who Qualifies for ZOOM! Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! teeth whitening is a safe and effective solution for most people looking to improve the appearance of their smile. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Generally, good candidates for ZOOM! teeth whitening include those with:
Healthy Teeth and Gums
Before undergoing any whitening treatment, it’s important to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy. Any existing dental problems, such as cavities or gum disease, should be addressed first.
Stained or Discolored Teeth
ZOOM! teeth whitening is designed to remove stains and discoloration caused by aging, lifestyle factors, and certain foods and beverages. If you have yellow or brown stains on your teeth, you may be a good candidate for this treatment.
Realistic Expectations
While ZOOM! teeth whitening can deliver impressive results, it’s important to have realistic expectations. Your teeth may not become perfectly white, and some discoloration may still be visible. Additionally, the results of teeth whitening are not permanent and may require touch-ups over time.
Commitment to Oral Hygiene
To maintain the results of your ZOOM! teeth whitening treatment, it’s crucial to commit to a regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings. Additionally, you may need to avoid certain foods and beverages, such as coffee and red wine, that can stain your teeth.
ZOOM! In-Office Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! In-office teeth whitening is a procedure that utilizes blue LED light and whitening gel to deliver quick, brilliant results. With three 15-minute sessions, a ZOOM! in-office teeth whitening procedure can whiten your teeth up to eight shades in one 45-minute appointment.
Before you can undergo a whitening treatment, you’ll have a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. They’ll discuss your smile goals with you and ensure that your mouth is healthy enough for a whitening treatment. If your dentist determines that ZOOM! teeth whitening is right for you, we’ll schedule your appointment.
Your lips and gums will be covered in protective gauze and gel to shield them from the UV rays of the LED light. We’ll apply a powerful whitening gel to your teeth that strengthens your enamel and helps prevent sensitivity.
Your teeth will be exposed to blue LED light for three 15-minute sessions. The LED light brings stains to the surface, where the whitening gel eliminates them. Finally, you’ll walk out of our office with a smile that’s up to eight shades brighter!
ZOOM! Take Home Whitening Trays
ZOOM! Take-home whitening trays allow you to professionally whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home. ZOOM! take home whitening trays are custom-made for a comfortable fit to securely whiten your teeth.
As with the in-office treatment method, you’ll undergo a consultation with one of our cosmetic dentists. During your consultation, your cosmetic dentist will discuss your smile goals and address any oral health issues that may prevent you from undergoing a whitening treatment.
Once your dentist has determined that you’re a good candidate for ZOOM! at home teeth whitening trays, they’ll take impressions of your teeth. These will serve as the blueprint for your custom trays.
Your trays will be fabricated off-site at a special laboratory. You’ll receive your custom trays and easy-to-use syringes of ZOOM! whitening gel to use with them. Before using your trays, be sure to brush and floss your teeth for optimal results.
Fill each impression in the tray with whitening gel according to the dosage indicators located on the side of the syringe. Gently apply the proper trays to your upper and lower teeth and leave them on for the prescribed amount of time. Gently remove your trays and rinse them with cold water before storing them for next time. Brush your teeth to reveal a whiter, brighter smile!
