Teeth Whitening in Nashville, TN
Like many people, you may feel unhappy with the color of your teeth. You want an effective way to remove the stains that give your teeth that dull, yellow appearance. Maybe you have even tried over-the-counter bleaching products with little to no success. With Zoom whitening system, you can achieve that brilliant smile you have been dreaming of!
There are many causes for tooth discoloration. These include:
- Stains from tobacco, coffee, tea, soda, red wine, berries, or any food or drink with dark pigmentation
- Plaque and tartar deposits that have built up
- Use of the antibiotic Tetracycline during childhood (this creates dark “ribbons” of color)
- Over ingestion of fluoride while teeth are forming (this gives teeth a “mottled” look)
- Trauma to the mouth and teeth which can cause yellow, brown and gray spots
- The natural aging process
The Zoom whitening procedure is a fast, effective way of lightening your tooth color by several shades. You may expect the following during your whitening treatment. First, your teeth will be cleaned and then a protective agent will be placed on your gums. Once the bleach is applied to your teeth, it will need to sit for up to an hour.
If you have severe stains, you may be advised to schedule a follow up bleaching in order to attain your desired shade. We recommend avoiding tobacco use and any food or drink with a high level of pigment for 24 hours after your whitening procedure to allow the enamel pores to close before staining agents are reintroduced.
