LASER WHITENING 

In Office or Chairside Whitening: 
In Office or Chairside Whitening is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure. It’s safe, effective and fast, very fast. If you're looking for a fast way to dramatically whiten your teeth, Zoom 2 Chair side Whitening System may be the answer for you. This latest laser light can dramatically make your teeth several shades lighter in about one hour, with the least amount of sensitivity. 

Dental Solutions is one of the few dental practices in Goa to incorporate ZOOM 2 from Discuss Dental, (USA) into our practice.

Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and Zoom !?
Yes! Consulting your dentist is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Plus, over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. Zoom! is clinically proven to whiten your teeth an average of eight shades in one hour or six shades in just one weekend. Only a dentist can get your teeth this white, this fast. 

What is Zoom! Tooth whitening? 
Zoom! is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. 

What causes tooth discoloration? 
There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration. 

Who may benefit from tooth whitening? 
Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective or some as it is for others. Your dentist can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including a shade assessment. 

Do many people whiten their teeth? 
More people than you might imagine. A bright, sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom! Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before. 

 Is whitening safe? 
Yes, extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. 

How long do the results last? 
By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily and occasional touch-ups with Zoom! Weekender or Nite White gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available only through your dentist.

How does the Zoom! In-Office System work? 
The Zoom! light-activated whitening gel's active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! Gel by 33% or more, giving an average improvement of eight shades*. 

What does a patient experience during the Zoom! In-Office Procedure? 
During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Many actually fall asleep. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure.

Are there any side effects? 
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure but always dissipate. 

How is exposure to the Zoom! light controlled? 
The Zoom! procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be protected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the procedure. Light sensitive individuals including those undergoing PUVA therapy (Psoralen+UV Radiation) or other photochemotherapy, or patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom! In-Office procedure. Also patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter, prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary physician prior to procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for Zoom! In-Office Whitening for these reasons may be an excellent candidate for Zoom! Take-Home. 

How long does Zoom! In-Office Whitening take? 
The complete procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure (a cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! Whitening session). 
In some cases, tooth whitening will not work on discoloration or a peculiar colour (due to antibiotics treatment for example). In these cases the best possible way to get the best cosmetic result is to fix ceramic facings onto the external side of your teeth The same applies when you wish to modify your teeth shape if you have poorly positioned teeth, gaps, crooked or damaged teeth edges. In this case Veneers is the best alternative.
