Achieving the perfect smile may not seem achievable if your teeth have yellowed or dimmed over the years. Thankfully, recent breakthroughs in cosmetic dentistry have made it possible to restore your smile to its prime. Whereas once one could only rely on harsh chemicals or messy trays, dentists now offer several attractive options for teeth whitening that work faster and more effectively than anything used previously. Most notably Zoom! teeth whitening has made whitening your teeth more convenient and effective. Most people are familiar with laser teeth whitening, but know little about Zoom! Which method is best for you? We’re here to break each method down for you.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening is a popular and widely used whitening method with many benefits. With laser teeth whitening, the procedure is simple: the dentist applies a bleaching gel to your teeth, then uses a laser to activate the gel, thereby producing the whitening results. Laser teeth whitening can address dental concerns outside teeth discoloration, such as tooth decay and even gum issues. Moreover, the results are visible within just a few hours. It is an option if you’re looking for an immediate whitening fix.
However, while laser teeth whitening is highly effective and a safe procedure, there are drawbacks. Laser teeth whitening may be too harsh for those with sensitive teeth, primarily because of the high dosage of peroxide in the bleaching gel. Moreover, if done improperly or not by a dental professional, the laser may cause nerve damage that requires further dental treatment. Further, the coverage area of the laser is quite limited. Essentially, this means the process can take longer to ensure all your teeth are treated.
Zoom! Whitening
If you think laser teeth whitening gives patients immediate results, Zoom! whitening provides even quicker outcomes. Similar to laser teeth whitening, Zoom! also uses a special gel to coat the teeth. However, Zoom! uses a lamp that emits ultraviolet light that allows the gel to penetrate deeper into the enamel. Even stubborn yellow or brown stains can be removed. With Zoom! There are no infrared emissions and less heat is required to activate the gel.
Another benefit of Zoom! is that it covers a broader area of the mouth than laser teeth whitening, making it the faster and more effective treatment for those who are seeking quick, dramatic changes to their smile. Dentists also recommend Zoom! Whitening treatment as a more effective alternative to porcelain veneers.
