What causes tooth discoloration?
Despite the best oral hygiene practices, teeth can become stained and discolored over time. Two factors that typically cause tooth discoloration: enamel and dentin. Enamel is the protective surface that covers your tooth. Beneath this hard, clear surface is a yellowish interior called dentin. Physical changes occur as you age, including the thinning of your tooth enamel. This thinning allows the dentin to become more pronounced. Stained enamel can also be the cause of your tooth discoloration. Common causes of staining include:
-Tobacco use
-Coffee and tea
-Soda and red wine
-Foods like pasta sauce
High blood pressure medication and antihistamines can also cause tooth discoloration. It's also possible for certain medications to pass from mothers to their babies, causing teeth to be discolored in adulthood.
How does Zoom® whiten teeth?
When it comes to Zoom, you'll get the most dramatic results with WhiteSpeed. In 45 minutes your teeth could be up to 8 shades whiter, reversing stains from food and drinks, aging, even discoloration from some types of medication. You'll leave Dr. Martinez's office with an instantly brighter, more confident smile. The procedure steps include:
-Dr. Martinez preps your mouth for whitening and applies a layer of advanced whitening gel to your teeth.
-To speed up the whitening process, we'll shine our WhiteSpeed blue LED lamp onto your teeth. This accelerates the whitening, plus the lamp's variable settings insure you'll get a comfortable experience.
-This is repeated three times-and is completed in just 45 minutes!
-Once you've reached your desired shade, Dr. Martinez will apply our post-treatment gel to help protect enamel and reduce sensitivity. Before you leave our office, you'll receive customized whitening trays and a take home whitening kit, which is included in the price of your treatment. This way, you can touch up the brightness of your smile whenever you want to. For our Zoom patients we offer refill touch up kits to be used with these trays for a minimal cost.
