Everyone wants a brighter, whiter smile. Yellow teeth can be a matter of genetics, poor hygiene, unhealthy food and drink choices, or a combination of all three. Whatever the reason, the dental office of Mainwaring John D DDS of Orange, CT can improve your smile with a simple and effective procedure known as Zoom! Whitening. Read on to learn how this method of cosmetic dentistry works and see if it's right for you.

Before the procedure, Dr. John D Mainwaring or one of the other qualified dentists will conduct a brief consultation to make sure Zoom! Whitening is right for you. This qualified dentist explains the steps of the Zoom! Whitening process. First, your lips and gums are safely covered while your teeth are exposed. Next, the dentist will apply the Zoom! Whitening hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth. At this time, the dentist will use a Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp. The light from this lamp helps activate the hydrogen peroxide to accelerate the bleaching process. Both the gel and light are kept in place for 15 minutes. This process is repeated two more times, making for a 45-minute procedure in total. 

After the treatment, you'll receive a list of simple instructions and a touch-up kit. The kit and instructions will help you maintain all of the amazing Zoom! Whitening benefits.
