ZOOM!

ZOOM! Tooth Whitening Treatment


Description of the Procedure

Zoom! In-office tooth whitening is a procedure designed to lighten the color of teeth using a combination of a hydrogen peroxide gel and a specially designed ultraviolet lamp. The Zoom! Treatment involves using the gel and lamp in conjunction with each other to produce maximum whitening results in the shortest possible time. Before and after the treatment, the shade of your teeth will be assessed and recorded. It takes 24 to 48 hours for full re-hydration. During this period, we ask you to avoid certain foods and products which can stain. Here are some examples of what you CAN and CAN NOT eat or drink after the procedure. You do not want to eat any food with color (anything that would stain a white shirt) for 48 hours after the procedure.

Example of what you CAN eat:

  • Drink: milk, water, clear soda
  • Fruits: bananas, apple (no peel)
  • White bread or flour tortillas
  • Plain yogurts, white cheese, sour cream
  • Cottage cheese, white rice, baked potato
  • Plain pasta and white sauce
  • Turkey or skinless breast

Example of what you CAN NOT eat:

  • Drink: red wine, dark cola’s, coffee, tea
  • Fruits: grapes or any fruit with color
  • Mustard or ketchup
  • Red sauces
  • Soy sauce or steak sauce
  • Red meat

No smoking and No lipstick

You may experience some tooth sensitivity during this period. To prevent this, take 600mg of Ibuprofen

(3 tabs of regular Advil or Motrin) every 4 hours for 24 hours.

Testimonials

To Drs/ Staff at N.M.F.D.

Somehow just reimbursing you for services rendered seems inadequate, at best. Thank you so very much for all the special care you give to make my visits comfortable to me, this is simply priceless.

From the moment I call through the moment I leave the clinic- I feel welcome and important. I so appreciate modern technology and your efforts to keep procedures pain-free. It is also refreshing to see an office that is organized, prompt, and clean, and obviously has employees that enjoy their work and their co-workers.

C. Olson St. Peter

I put off going to the dentist for many years because of the pain of just touching them.

When I was a child the dentist slapped me 'cause I was crying 'cause it hurt. He said, "it don't hurt that bad", but he did not have my mouth. When I was 23 I got a full upper plate (denture) and a partial on the bottom and never went back until I needed an anchor tooth removed. I had the oral surgeon do it 'cause they would put me to sleep.

15 years later I heard about relaxed dentistry from the radio and a couple of kids at work. I knew I needed to have things done and paid for before I retired, so I made the appointment and I had a new full upper and new partial. No Pain!. They used the "Wand" for Novocain so if there is pain you do not even know it. I even has a root canal and don't remember anything. It was Great!!
