Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: Cosmetic Dentisry
How do I care for my dentures?
Daily cleaning of dentures are required, typically as if you would clean natural teeth. This includes morning and night cleaning of the denture, your gums, and tongue. It is recommended that you use a mild soap, or liquid denture cleanser with a soft toothbrush. Remove any denture adhesive before doing so.
How does teeth zoom whitening work?
The method utilizes a unique lamp known as either a Zoom light or Zoom laser, paired with a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide. The gel, which is applied to your teeth, has a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. When the peroxide interacts with the bright light produced by the lamp, it breaks down. This process then dissolves a thin layer on the enamel and releases oxygen into the teeth. The released oxygen aids in removing and eliminating established tooth discoloration. This low-risk procedure stands out as one of the top options for teeth whitening available.
Is zoom teeth whitening safe and painless?
Zoom whitening is typically not regarded as painful, although some individuals may notice temporary sensitivity during and after the treatment. When carried out by a trained dental expert, Zoom whitening is a secure and efficient method for obtaining a brighter smile.
