How Long Does Zoom Whitening Last? This is What You Should Know
Do you have stained teeth? A Dental & Denture can get your teeth back to a sparkling white. Whether you want to whiten your teeth for your upcoming wedding or simply want the confidence of a bright smile, Drs. Fawaz Hatem and Isabella Amar can help. We use Zoom professional teeth whitening in Seattle, Washington, to erase even the toughest stains.
Why are my teeth yellow or stained?
Your teeth may lose their shine over the years despite your optimal oral hygiene habits. The enamel is naturally porous and can absorb pigments from the foods and drinks you consume daily. Coffee, wine, tea, berries, and other foods contain staining agents that penetrate the enamel, leading to a duller, less vibrant smile.
Additionally, factors like aging, tobacco use, and certain medications can accelerate this discoloration. Despite regular brushing and flossing, these deep-set stains can be difficult to remove without professional whitening treatments.
However, it’s worth noting that teeth bleaching can’t solve every tooth staining problem. Intrinsic or deep stains caused by trauma, infection, or other severe causes may need to be treated with veneers, crowns, or bonding.
Why should I whiten my teeth with a professional dentist?
Many patients use store-bought whitening products because of their cheap price tag and convenience. Unfortunately, these products almost always leave users with frustrating results. They take several weeks and, sometimes, months to generate average results at best. Worse yet, off-the-shelf products can damage teeth and gums when left in the hands of inexperienced users.
Don’t fall for the hype of store-bought products. Instead, only whiten your smile with a professional dentist. We use stronger and more effective products to whiten your smile, removing tooth stains from the deeper layers of the enamel. Better yet, dentists supervise your treatment from start to finish to achieve safe results.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Our office uses Zoom teeth whitening to brighten your smile. This system uses medical-grade bleaching agents and advanced light technology to remove stains. Zoom in-office teeth whitening effectively lifts even the most stubborn stains, giving you noticeable results in just one visit.
Teeth whitening isn’t permanent, but professional teeth whitening results can last several years. With proper care, our teeth whitening treatments can last 2-3 years. To help you keep your smile looking its best, we provide home kits for touch-ups every six months, ensuring your smile stays bright and radiant.
How do I maintain my teeth whitening results?
Once you achieve your dream smile, observing optimal dental care is essential to maintain your investment. Preserve your white, bright smile by brushing and flossing your teeth daily. Also, schedule an appointment with your dentist bi-annually for routine dental cleanings. Lastly, quit smoking and limit the intake of enamel-staining substances. This means cutting down on your coffee or wine. When you do partake, use a straw and rinse your mouth immediately after you are done.
