Brighten smile with Zoom teeth whitening from West London dentist

May 21st, 2010

Zoom teeth whitening is one of the most up to date whitening products on the market, using a special power lamp to activate treatment for speedier results. Zoom works like most other tooth whitening treatments by applying an active gel to the surface of the teeth to bleach any discoloured areas.

Teeth whitening is a very popular cosmetic dentistry treatment that can really improve the appearance of discoloured and stained teeth. Teeth become stained over time because of foods that we eat and other lifestyle choices. Substances that are particularly bad for the teeth are red wine, coffee and tobacco. These can leave teeth yellow or brown spoiling the appearance of a smile making you seem older. Teeth naturally discolour as we age, so any premature discolouration will have the effect of adding years to your appearance as well as looking unhealthy.

Teeth whitening using Zoom can restore the appearance of discoloured teeth, making the teeth look cleaner and healthier and giving you the confidence that comes from a beautiful smile. Your West London dentist will apply the gel in specially designed trays so that it is in close contact with the teeth. They will also use any necessary safety equipment to keep the soft tissue of the gums and tongue safe.

Some patients may experience some slight sensitivity after treatment but apart from this the process is completely painless. Some patients will notice results immediately but others may require a few treatments, depending on the individual’s teeth. Teeth whitening is one of the most effective and affordable cosmetic dentistry treatments so ask your dentist what it could do for your teeth.

Worried about yellow teeth? Ask a Central London dentist about teeth whitening

As we age, our teeth naturally lose their colour and begin to turn yellow. Just like greying hair and wrinkles, this is one of the unfortunate and unattractive signs of aging. Teeth lose their natural colour because the enamel becomes stained over time from the food we eat and liquids we drink. Some substances are especially bad for enamel staining such as coffee, tea and red wine and smoking is also particularly bad for your teeth.

Cleaning your teeth effectively every day will help to slow the process of yellowing teeth but once the enamel has become stained it cannot be cleaned using conventional oral hygiene methods. However, there is one sure-fire way to return your teeth to their original and healthy-looking colour. Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable and widely used cosmetic dentistry treatments. It involves placing a gel against the surface of the teeth in a specially designed tray. This gel contains the active ingredient hydrogen peroxide, which will seep into the enamel and gradually bleach it white.

There are many different kinds of whitening treatments available that range from short half hour sessions to more comprehensive two-week treatments with daily whitening sessions. Teeth whitening starts from as little as £60 and is suitable for almost all types of teeth. Some patients may experience more immediate results than others but it is capable of improving the colour of your teeth by up to ten shades in some cases.

If you are worried about the colour of your teeth, teeth whitening could be the perfect solution to make you more confident with your smile.
