Teeth whitening
If you come to see our dentist in Loughton, you may be interested in teeth whitening. We use Zoom, which is perfect for anybody who is self-conscious about the appearance of the colour of their teeth.
How to get started
Before you get started on any treatment, we offer a free consultation, where you can discuss your concerns about your smile. This will give us a chance to examine your teeth and to get an understanding of what you want to achieve. We will then be able to recommend the best course of treatment for your specific needs. With Zoom whitening, we can then explain how this works and you can ask as many questions as you need to ensure that you are happy with the treatment plan.
What is Zoom?
Your dentist in Loughton will be able to explain fully, but in a nutshell Zoom is an at-home or in-practice treatment that requires you to have a custom-made tray for your teeth. Once this has been made bespoke for you, you will be provided with the Zoom bleaching agent to put in your tray. You then need to wear the tray overnight or for two sessions a day as directed by us. Normally, after a couple of weeks, you will then be able to come back to the practice and have a 90-minute laser whitening session to finish everything off. Results typically yield teeth that are 9 shades whiter, although this can vary depending on the shade your teeth were before treatment.
What else do I need to know?
There are different types of staining. Surface staining can be caused by smoking, caffeine, red wine, curries or medicines, for example. Internal staining may be caused by an accident or nerve endings being removed. At our practice, we will be able to discuss the causes of the staining you have and how effective treatment will be for your teeth.
