Remove Stains and Blemishes with Zoom! Teeth Whitening

February 1, 2014

For mild teeth discoloration, accessible over-the-counter teeth whitening products that can be used at home may be enough. But if your teeth have been badly stained due to tobacco or because of drinking dark-colored beverages such as coffee, tea, cola or red wine, then a more highly-concentrated whitening system is required to take the stains away and make your teeth several shades lighter again.

At Total Dental Care of South Carolina clinic, Columbia SC dentist Dr. Doug Forbes uses the revolutionary Zoom teeth whitening system to turn stained teeth flawlessly white again. Under this system, the highly-concentrated peroxide solution is safely applied directly on your teeth using a custom-fitted tray. This solution is then activated by a special light or laser in three 15-minute intervals. In just 45 minutes, your teeth will be eight shades brighter!

The key to the success of this treatment lies in the right concentration of the whitening formula and the right light intensity and duration of the activation, and this is where Dr. Forbes’ direct supervision is critically important. Even before doing the whitening treatment, Dr. Forbes will first make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure which means in case you have any tooth decay or gum disease, he will treat these problems first.

Soon as your teeth and gums are healthy enough, he will then perform a dental prophylaxis followed by the application of a protective gel on your gums before placing the peroxide on your teeth. After the treatment, he will finish it off with fluoride treatment to minimize the sensitivity. With one appointment with Dr. Forbes, you can say goodbye to your stained teeth! Do note that to keep your whiter, brighter teeth, you’ll need to stick to good oral hygiene, drink less of those staining beverages and keep up with maintenance whitening treatments.

Act now and be counted among the millions of patients across the country who have tried and proven how effective the Zoom! Teeth Whitening System really is! Call Columbia SC dental clinic Total Dental Care of South Carolina at 803-272-4162 for an appointment with Dr. Forbes and see the amazing results unfold right before your eyes in just one session.
