Many of us have stained or discolored teeth due to smoking, coffee drinking, or just from age. For most patients looking to treat this problem, teeth whitening (or bleaching) works extremely well.
A Choice of Solutions
Drug store remedies and quick-fix techniques such as “whitening strips” are often “low cost” and “low power” short term solutions to achieving a whiter smile. Consumers report that the drug store whitening products are messier and the results are not as good as desired.
Fast acting, safe and noticeable teeth whitening uses stronger ingredients, which require the supervision of a dental professional.
How We Help Our Jacksonville Patients
Our staff is trained to help you achieve a brighter/whiter smile with Zoom whitening, an in-office system that can whiten your teeth up to 8 shades. Amazing results can be seen in as little as 1 hour.
This system is the only in-office whitener that has variable intensity setting so each treatment can be customized to maximize patient comfort. The system also includes desensitizers to help minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel.
After the procedure, we can advise you how to best protect your teeth. In most cases our whitening techniques are a very safe and effective. However, everyone responds differently to whitening, and sensitivity is sometimes a side effect of treatments.
If this is the case, a “sensitivity” toothpaste like Fluoridexmay help. You can also use a mild desensitizer like Relief ACP in conjunction with your treatments to further minimize sensitivity. But don’t let this scare you: With the Zoom system, you can have a bright smile in just one visit and we’ll be happy to guide you toward the best sensitivity management option.
