In surgery - Zoom Advance - A revolutionary technique where the bleaching gel is applied onto the teeth in the surgery and activated by a special light. It takes approximately 1 hour and the teeth are lightened by up to 10 shades using this method. This is a new American system that has been recommended by some of the top cosmetic dentists in USA and is the system used in the TV programe 'Extreme Makeover'.
At home - A special plastic tray containing the bleach gel is worn at night for approximately 2-4 weeks. The teeth are whitened up to 5 shades with this method. This is a more gradual whitening process than the one above, and if used regularly, with adequate intervals, can reveal a whiteness equalling that of Zoom.
Please note that all whitening procedures work to different extents in different individuals. Not everyone will whiten as quickly as others.
Sometimes a combination of the above two procedures is required to achieve the desired result. We recommend that you book for a tooth whitening consultation prior to your treatment so that one of our dentists can assess your smile. In this way a more predictable result can be achieved and we will be closer to delivering your perfect smile ! |
