Many of us have lifestyle habits that lead to tooth discoloration. Surface stains on our teeth are caused by foods, beverages and lifestyle behaviors, such as smoking. Over time, these surface stains may penetrate the enamel and change the color of dentin, which darkens the overall appearance of the tooth. Fortunately, Dr. Jason Pellegrino can make your smile a little bit brighter by utilizing the ZOOM! professional whitening system.
Before deciding whether ZOOM! professional whitening is right for you, Dr. Pellegrino will conduct a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums to ensure proper health, as well as talk with you about your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits to determine if you will benefit from whitening. The complete procedure takes about 2 hours. It begins with a short preparation to cover the lips and gums, leaving the teeth exposed. Dr. Pellegrino or one of his assistants will then apply the ZOOM! hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which works together with the ZOOM! light to penetrate the teeth and break up the stains and discoloration. The gel remains in place for three to four 15-minute sessions of light activation, for a total treatment time of 45-60 minutes.
If you desire a whiter smile, give us a call to discuss your treatment options. To learn more about ZOOM! whitening, give us a call or visit www.allentowndentist.com for more information.
