Walking down the oral health care aisle at your local grocery store or pharmacy, you have probably noticed a variety of toothpaste, strips, and trays that promise to whiten your teeth. However, when it comes to results, these over-the-counter products can leave you disappointed. At Volterra Dental in Los Alamitos, CA, we offer teeth whitening solutions that really work. With the Zoom! in-office laser teeth whitening treatment, patients can achieve dramatically whiter smiles—up to eight shades lighter—in just an hour or less.
What is Zoom! laser teeth whitening?
The Zoom! laser teeth whitening system is one of the most advanced teeth whitening treatments available. It uses a specially formulated whitening gel that is activated with an LED laser light that breaks down stubborn stains and discolorations, producing dazzling results in a short amount of time.
During your Zoom! whitening treatment, we first place a protective barrier over your lips and gums. Then, we carefully apply the professional-grade whitening gel to your teeth and then place the laser light over them for 15 minutes at a time. Depending on your desired results, we then repeat the process up to four times in one treatment session for up to eight shades of whitening in just an hour. The treatment is so convenient that you can get it done during your lunch break and go back to your daily activities with a brilliantly transformed smile!
Advantages of professional teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening provides many advantages over toothpaste and whitening strips you can pick up at the local store. Professional teeth whitening is:
- Safer – In addition to there being fewer regulations on over-the-counter options than professional-grade whitening gels, over-the-counter trays and strips that are designed to be one-size-fits-all and therefore don’t provide a good fit for anyone. Because of this, there is a higher risk of over-the-counter whitening treatments causing damage to your sensitive gums and soft tissues, tooth sensitivity, and other problems.
- More effective – When it comes to results, there is simply no better option than professional teeth whitening. Whether it is Zoom! in-office whitening or custom-made at-home whitening trays with professional-grade gels, you will achieve better results with professional whitening.
- Customized – At Volterra Dental, we work with you to achieve the whitening results you desire; this may include options for replacing old dental restorations along with your tooth whitening treatment to ensure that your entire smile looks as vibrant as you are.
