ZOOM! teeth whitening is one of the most powerful, effective, long-lasting teeth-whitening treatments available. This popular cosmetic dentistry treatment turns a smile from mediocre to celeb-worthy, even if your teeth aren’t perfect. ZOOM! whitening is available from Dr. Don Mungcal and his team at Downtown Dental in Los Angeles and could be just the right smile makeover for you.
How ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Works
There are plenty of over-the-counter whitening treatments, but the results are spotty and do not last. ZOOM! teeth whitening, however, is a customized treatment that uses professional-grade bleaching agents that blast deep into the tooth enamel rather than just sloughing off surface stains.
Teeth are truly transformed and left multiple shades whiter. Even better, completing the upgrade only takes about an hour in your Los Angeles cosmetic dentist’s chair. Here’s how ZOOM! works:
- Prep: Teeth and gums are protected from irritation by cotton rolls, cheek retractors, and desensitizing gels, and a pre-whitening surface cleaner is applied to tooth enamel
- Whitening: Customized whitening gel is applied evenly to the teeth, and high-intensity blue LED light accelerates the whitening process. These steps are repeated until the optimal shade of white is achieved
- After-care: A second gel is applied to protect tooth enamel and minimize sensitivity, and all safeguards are removed to reveal a stunning white smile
Reasons Dental Patients Love ZOOM!
One of the simplest, easiest, and most accessible upgrades you can make to your appearance is whitening your teeth. With help from the right Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, you can check the boxes for maximum benefits like these:
- A constant accessory: No matter what you’re wearing or where you’re going, your white smile will make you look great in person, on video, in photos, and everywhere
- The illusion of perfection: Even if teeth are crooked, gapped, or slightly flawed, ZOOM! whitening makes them appear perfect
- A more stunning you: Want to look younger, happier, healthier, smarter, and like a confident VIP? White teeth can do all of that for you
- Immediate results: When you need a new smile but don’t have time to wait for it to be developed, teeth whitening delivers fast results you can show off immediately
- Customized: Over-the-counter whitening leaves room for error, but ZOOM! whitening is calibrated to deliver the most effective results and give you a smile up to eight times whiter than usual
- Long-lasting results: If you brush and floss properly every day and visit your Los Angeles dentist every six months for teeth cleaning, your teeth will remain super-white for years. Plus, every ZOOM! treatment comes with customized take-home whitening trays for touch-ups as needed to keep your smile shining
Cost Factors of ZOOM! Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment, so it is typically not covered by dental insurance. This out-of-pocket expense is minimal in the grand scheme of cosmetic dentistry solutions and completely worth it. However, at Downtown Dental, we offer convenient and accessible payment methods like CareCredit and accept all major credit cards.
While every patient’s circumstances are different, the cost factors for ZOOM! teeth whitening typically include:
- Number of rounds of whitening needed
- Location of your dentist’s office
- Whether take-home whitening trays are included
Are You a Good Candidate for ZOOM! Whitening?
Teeth whitening works for many patients, but some will not benefit from this treatment. No matter what camp you fall into, there is a cosmetic dentistry solution available that can transform your smile and give you a bright, white, beautiful grin.
