Teeth Whitening

Why should I consider teeth whitening?

In-office teeth whitening is a fast, effective way to dramatically improve the appearance of your smile in as little as one visit to RiNo Dental.

While your tooth enamel looks smooth and solid on the surface, it’s actually quite porous. With thousands of microscopic crevices that can allow substances to seep in, any pigment that touches your teeth can stain them over time.

Certain foods, beverages, and other substances that can cause stained teeth include:

• Coffee and tea
• Red wine
• Dark colas
• Mustard and ketchup
• Soy sauce
• Tomato sauce
• Tobacco products
• Certain antibiotics
  
  

Brushing your teeth frequently can reduce these stains, but they can be difficult to fully remove. Genetics and age may also play a role in darkening or yellowing your teeth.

What is ZOOM! teeth whitening?

The ZOOM! teeth whitening system is a professional whitening treatment that produces immediate results. 

Made specifically for patients looking for dramatic results, ZOOM! combines a powerful whitening gel with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) to brighten your smile while protecting your tooth enamel. 

This unique combination reduces sensitivity in your teeth and gums, ensuring the treatment is as comfortable as it is effective. To accelerate your results, ZOOM! activates its whitening gel with a blue LED light.

What happens during teeth whitening?

ZOOM! offers two types of teeth whitening treatments: in-office whitening and take-home whitening trays. 

In-office teeth whitening

ZOOM! in-office teeth whitening takes just 45 minutes. When you arrive at RiNo Dental, the team inserts a dental dam in your mouth to protect your gums from the whitening solution. Then, they apply the gel directly onto your teeth. A special LED light activates the gel to accelerate the whitening process.

Depending on your case, the team may apply more whitening gel and repeat the process until you achieve your desired results. Many patients notice a dramatic improvement in the color of their teeth after ZOOM! whitening. A single treatment can remove up to eight shades of built-up stains.

Take-home whitening trays

If you want to brighten your smile on your own time, ZOOM! offers two types of custom-made take-home trays. These trays are custom-made to fit the shape of your teeth. They’re thin, comfortable, and come with a professional whitening gel.

ZOOM! DayWhite involves wearing the trays for 30-90 minutes a day for two weeks. If you choose NightWhite, you can wear your trays for 2-4 hours a night or overnight for two weeks.
