TEETH WHITENING
ZOOM! WHITENING
Your lifestyle leaves its mark on your teeth—coffee, tea, wine, and smoking can cause significant staining over time. Let us restore your smile's sparkle! Arch Dentistry in Ballito offers a quick, non-invasive teeth whitening treatment that removes years of stains in just two hours.
DUAL TREATMENTS
Some things are just done better together. We have two teeth whitening treatment rooms, which means you and your favourite other can have your smiles brightened simultaneously!
WHAT TO EXPECT
01 Photography Session
We take a series of photographs and record the baseline shade of your natural teeth.
02 EMS® Guided Biofilm Therapy
We start your treatment using the EMS® Prophylaxis Master unit to remove all gross staining and contaminants from your teeth. We prepare all the surfaces of your teeth by removing the biofilm, which allows better penetration of the active whitening gels and a more homogenous result.
03 Application of Gel & Light
Following the cleaning and preparation of your teeth we apply Zoom! teeth whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is then activated with the Zoom! teeth whitening lamp for 20 minutes.
04 Rinse & Repeat
After each 20 minute session your result will be evaluated. Together with your dental therapist you will decide whether to end the treatment or to continue further. This process may be repeated up to four times.
05 Photography Session
After the final session the gels are removed and we proceed to take another series of photographs.
06 Application of Desensitising Gel
Before you are released to the envy of the world we apply a clear desensitising gel onto your new sparkling smile. You also receive a homecare kit which includes a toothbrush, teeth whitening toothpaste and a clear desensitising gel.
FAQs
Is Zoom! Teeth Whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Yes, Zoom! Teeth Whitening is safe when performed by a qualified dentist. The Zoom! system is designed to minimise tooth sensitivity and protect your enamel while effectively whitening your teeth. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during or after the treatment, but these side effects generally subside within a few days. Your dentist will take precautions to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
How long do the results of Zoom! Teeth Whitening last?
The results of Zoom! Teeth Whitening can last for several months to up to a year, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle. To maintain your bright smile, it’s important to avoid foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will also help prolong the effects of your whitening treatment. Your dentist may recommend Zoom! take-home whitening kits for occasional touch-ups to keep your smile looking its best.
