Castle Hill Zoom Teeth Whitening

Your smile is important. Its one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.

There are many causes of tooth discolouration. The most common includes aging and consumption of staining substance on a regular basis such as coffee, tea, colas, red wine or smoking. During tooth formation, certain amitotic or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discolouration.

Whitening can get your smile looking its best. At Hills Dental, we offer our patients two whitening procedures to suit their lifestyle and budget.

The Zoom Chairside Whitening System is a scientifically advanced, tooth whitening procedure which is performed in the surgery. It’s safe, effective and fast. In less than an hour your teeth will become dramatically whiter.

Chairside whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. Our dentist then applies the proprietary whitening gel, which is designed to be used with a specially designed light.

The light and gel work together to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. With proper care your smile will sparkle forever, as a free teeth whitening kit will also be provided.

For the best long term results you will require a 6 monthly scale and clean where you will also receive a free home touch up gel.

Q: How does the chairside whitening system work?
A: The whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As it enters the enamel and dentin, it bleaches the coloured substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth.

Q: How is exposure to the Light controlled?
A: All soft tissue in and around the mouth is protected. The dentist monitors the procedure to ensure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the procedure.

Q: How long does Zoom Chairside whitening take?
A: The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed as little as by 45 minutes of bleaching. (A cleaning is usually done prior to the actual Whitening session.)

Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom Light generates minimal heat, which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure but always dissipate.

Tooth whitening is a cosmetic procedure well established for its safety.

The whitening process is effective on most discoloured teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics, are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth.
