Considering a Smile Makeover in the New Year? Here's What You Need to Know
If you’re unhappy with the way your smile looks, consider undergoing a smile makeover to boost your self-confidence this year. Here, discover what a smile makeover entails.
Get Your Smile Ready for Valentine's Day With Professional Teeth Whitening
Do you feel like you have to work much harder to keep your teeth free of stains and discoloration, while others are blessed with a naturally and brilliantly white smile?
Tooth discoloration can happen for a wide range of reasons, some of which are out of your control, but professional teeth whitening can give your teeth that bright shade of white you’re going for.
If you want to have an eye-catching smile just in time for your Valentine’s Day plans, our cosmetic dentistry team, led by Dr. Cliff Broschinsky, at Avalon Dental in San Ramon, California, has you covered with our professional teeth whitening services.
Our team uses Zoom!® teeth whitening products to offer you stunning results. In this month’s blog, we review how our teeth whitening process works to get you ready for a night out with friends or your significant other.
Why professional teeth whitening is the way to go
It can be tempting to buy whitening products from your local drugstore, since it’s more convenient and costs a little less. But over-the-counter teeth whitening products can’t offer you the same results as our Zoom teeth whitening products.
We recommend trying professional teeth whitening for the following reasons:
Efficiency
Most teeth whitening kits use hydrogen peroxide to lift stains and whiten your smile. But they typically contain a small amount, about 7-10%. Zoom teeth whitening products, on the other hand, have 35% hydrogen peroxide, which ensures much more noticeable results.
Longevity
Unfortunately, most at-home whitening kits only last for a few months, meaning you need to repeatedly buy new kits to maintain your results. Zoom teeth whitening can offer you a whiter smile that lasts for several months, even up to a year. Some report that Zoom results can last 15 months when you diligently follow the aftercare instructions.
No adverse side effects
Heightened tooth sensitivity is a common complaint after undergoing professional teeth whitening. But that’s not the case with Zoom teeth whitening. Reports state that less than 2% of those who underwent Zoom teeth whitening experienced tooth sensitivity.
What to expect from Zoom teeth whitening
When you choose Zoom teeth whitening at Avalon Dental, you wear flexible trays that mold to the unique shape of your teeth. The trays contain a whitening gel made of hydrogen peroxide that whitens your teeth as you wear the trays.
Zoom offers several different whitening options, including in-office and take-home methods. The one you choose can depend on time constraints and personal preferences.
The in-office methods can whiten your smile in just one visit, while the take-home option requires you to wear the trays consistently over the course of two weeks.
No matter which option you choose, you can expect your teeth to be several shades brighter after completing treatment.
