Fast and Effective Zoom! Teeth Whitening

July 8, 2014

Different kinds of whitening systems are displayed in retail stores. Some consumers simply pick anything they want and use it without consulting the dentist. Although over-the-counter products cost cheaper, it may take a long time before you can finally see the results. In the end, you’ll spend for something that won’t effectively brighten your teeth. Why take the risk when you can simply talk to your South Carolina dentist about teeth whitening?

Consultation with the dentist

Come and visit us at Total Dental Care of South Carolina. Dr. Doug Forbes offers sound advice about teeth whitening. Your health care professional will tell you how to brighten your smile.

It’s important to know that the treatment may not be recommended for:
– pregnant or lactating women
– children below 13 years old
– individuals with allergies and sensitive teeth
– people with dental problems like gum disease, tooth decay, worn enamel, and exposed tooth roots
– patients with dental restorations such as filings, crowns, and bridges.
– individuals with darkly stained teeth

In case you don’t qualify for the treatment, he’ll give you options. Feel free to ask questions and discuss your concerns.

Examination

A complete examination and thorough cleaning of your teeth will be performed to check if this is the best option for you. Once verified, he may recommend that you undergo Zoom! Teeth Whitening treatment.

Zoom! Teeth Whitening

Before the procedure, your gums and lips will be covered to protect them from the effects of the bleaching agent. The whitening gel will be applied to your teeth and will be activated using a curing light for about 15 minutes. This process will be repeated two times or until the right shade is achieved. After the treatment, you’ll see a significant change in your smile.

For a fast and effective way to brighten your teeth, ask your Columbia SC dentist about Zoom! Teeth Whitening. Dial 803-272-4162 to book an appointment.
