Patients looking to improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth should look no further than the Zoom!® Whitening system by Discus™. With faster, safer and longer-lasting results than at-home trays, whitening strips or toothpaste, Zoom can provide the stunning results you desire under the supervision of a professional dentist like Dr. Ravin.

Zoom! whitens teeth by applying a light activated whitening gel with hydrogen peroxide to the teeth. The Zoom light source is then delivered to the teeth in three 15-minute segments.  During the Zoom procedure, patients can relax and watch television or listen to music.

The bleaching takes about 45 minutes with just a few minutes of preparation needed.  Patients can achieve teeth that are up to eight shades brighter, although results may vary for each case.  Patients may experience mild sensitivity or tingling during or after the treatment, but are able to return to their regular activities right away, making Zoom an ideal lunchtime treatment.

The results of the Zoom whitening procedure are visible right away and can be long lasting, provided that patients maintain healthy dental hygiene habits, including flossing and bruiting regularly and using the Zoom touch up products at home.  While results may begin to fade over time, your teeth will always appear whiter and brighter than they were before.

Whitening with the Zoom system is considered safe for nearly all patients over the age of thirteen, and is considered the safest and most popular cosmetic dental procedure available.  Call us today to take advantage of this great treatment!

A bright, white smile can help make a great first impression in both professional and personal situations. Maintaining such a smile can be difficult, since the color of our teeth can be affected by coffee, tea, smoking and other substances that we commonly eat or drink. Despite the number of whitening toothpastes and other home products available, none are as effective as professional bleaching treatment.

Bleaching often involves the creation of custom-made trays that help gradually whiten the smile over a certain period of time. More advanced treatments can dramatically whiten in a single treatment session, during which time patients can watch television or read a book if they desire. During these treatments, a whitening gel that contains hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth, which are then exposed to a special light that activates the hydrogen peroxide and provides significant, long-term results.

When performed by a skilled and experienced dentist, bleaching is a completely safe and highly effective treatment that can easily enhance your entire appearance by creating a beautiful smile. Dr. Ravin performs ZOOM! Whitening in his office, which is performed as a one-time treatment that takes less than an hour to perform. There is no downtime and nearly no side effects associated with bleaching, so it can be performed at your convenience.

Bleaching is most effective on natural teeth, healthy teeth that have become discolored as a result of natural or environmental factors. Some patients may experience mild irritation or sensitivity after treatment, but these side effects usually subside after treatment is completed.
