Zoom2 is a light assisted tooth whitening system for use in lightening discolored teeth. Zoom2 is intended only for in-office use by a dental professional.
On the first visit the chair side assistant will find your existing shade. Together you will discuss whether or not Zoom2 is right for you and how it works. If you decide it is right for you, an impression of your teeth will be taken so we can provide you with your own take home whitening trays.
At your next visit we will use our state of the art Zoom2 system to whiten your teeth. For the best results you should have a professional cleaning within the last 6 months. If hard tarter is on the teeth bleach will not be able to whiten those areas. We will end your visit with take home whitening trays, a custom case to hold your trays when not in use, as well as a complimentary tube of bleach for continuing whitening or touch ups.
After your visit you will need to be aware of staining. For the next 48hours you will need to avoid any staining foods such as Coffee, Dark Soft drinks, Blueberries etc. Your teeth will be more succeptable to staining during this time. Keep this in mind when making your appointment.

Overview
People choose esthetic dental procedures/surgery for various reasons-to repair a defect such as a malformed bite or crooked teeth, treat an injury, or just improve their overall appearance. Whatever the reason, the ultimate goal is to restore a beautiful smile.
For these and many other reasons, esthetic dentistry has become a vital and important part of the dental profession.
Common esthetic dental procedures can be performed to correct misshaped, discolored, chipped or missing teeth. They also can be used to change the overall shape of teeth-from teeth that are too long or short, have gaps, or simply need to be reshaped.
Some of the more common procedures involve:
- Bonding - A procedure in which tooth-colored material is used to close gaps or change tooth color.
- Contouring and reshaping - A procedure that straightens crooked, chipped, cracked or overlapping teeth.
- Veneers - A procedure in which ultra-thin coatings are placed over the front teeth. Veneers can change the color or shape of your teeth. For example, veneers have been used to correct unevenly spaced, crooked, chipped, oddly shaped or discolored teeth.
- Whitening and bleaching - As the term implies, whitening and bleaching, a rapidly increasing procedure, are used to make teeth whiter.
