Three Signs You Could Benefit from Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Almost anyone can benefit from professional teeth whitening, and there are almost endless reasons why a person may decide to have their teeth whitened. Whether you are preparing for a special occasion or simply want to reverse years' worth of tooth staining and discoloration, professional teeth whitening at the dentist's office may be right for you. At Cosmetic Dental Associates, Dr. Spiker Davis, Dr. Matt Guerre, and our team of Houston, TX, cosmetic dentistry specialists offer professional tooth whitening with the advanced Zoom! whitening system. Here, we'll outline three telling signs that may mean you're an excellent candidate for Zoom! whitening.

Is Zoom! whitening better than whitening strips?

There is no question that professional teeth whitening is more effective than over-the-counter whitening kits and other products. With Zoom! whitening at the dentist's office, professional-strength ingredients, and advanced tools and technologies are used to whiten the teeth up to eight shades in a single treatment. Additionally, professional teeth whitening can address deep, older, and more extensive staining and discoloration, while at-home whitening strips can only reach surface stains and more superficial discoloration. Not only that, but professional teeth whitening is typically more convenient, has fewer side effects — like sensitivity after teeth whitening — and produces longer-lasting results.

Should I get my teeth whitening at the dentist vs. at home?

If you are on the fence about having your teeth professionally whitened, don't hesitate to call and speak with one of our knowledgeable team members to learn more. In addition to the benefits of Zoom! whitening vs. over-the-counter products — like convenience, comfort, efficacy, and long-lasting results — here are three signs that may mean it's time to consider professional teeth whitening:

1. You have a special occasion coming up

One of the most popular reasons to have your teeth professionally whitened is to look your best ahead of a big event — like your wedding day, a photo shoot, or a vacation. On average, patients considering teeth whitening before a wedding or another important event are encouraged to schedule their treatment at least 2 – 4 weeks prior.

2. You have deep stains or extensive discoloration

If your teeth are severely stained or dull, whether due to years of smoking, taking certain medications, or another reason, you may be a candidate for professional teeth whitening. With teeth whitening using Zoom!, almost any type of staining on natural teeth can be improved and, in some cases, reversed.

3. You have sensitive teeth

Patients whose teeth are already sensitive may experience mild sensitivity following professional teeth whitening, but sensitivity after using at-home whitening products is usually much more pronounced. For this reason, patients who want to whiten their teeth but have concerns about worsening their existing tooth sensitivity may be better suited to professional teeth whitening. Additionally, having teeth whitening professionally may offer the opportunity for comfort-enhancing measures to make your experience as enjoyable as possible.

These certainly aren't the only reasons to consider having your teeth whitened professionally, and our friendly team is here to answer any other questions you may have about whether you are a candidate for Zoom! teeth whitening.
