The natural colour of your teeth has a yellowish hue due to a chemical compound called chromogens that’s found in certain foods and drinks. Over time, consuming these foods and drinks will cause stains and discolouration on your teeth, which may leave you feeling self-conscious. Our qualified team at Design Dentistry offers professional in-office Zoom Teeth Whitening to enhance the overall appearance of your smile. Although Zoom Teeth Whitening is the way to go to give your teeth a pearly white look, the real challenge is maintaining proper after-care to keep your teeth from developing that yellowish hue once again. Here are some steps you should follow after your teeth whitening appointment in Edmonton:
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene – Self-discipline is the first step to achieving your dream smile. Remembering to brush, floss, and use mouthwash twice a day, seven days a week, is vital to maintaining good oral hygiene and keeping your teeth pearly white for the next 1-2 years.
- Maintain A Healthy Diet – Maintaining a healthy diet can help you prolong the effects of Zoom Teeth Whitening. Your diet is a significant factor in sustaining the appearance of your smile because drinks such as soda, tea and coffee can help contribute to stains and discolouration.
- Get Routine Check-Ups & Cleanings – Regularly visiting a dentist can help you maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Teeth whitening treatments, such as Zoom Teeth Whitening usually last around 1-2 years – meaning it will undeniably fade over time. Getting regular check-ups and cleanings can help you maintain the appearance of your teeth and provide longer-lasting effects.
You may be wondering, what is a Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure? Well, it’s a non-invasive treatment that your dentist in Edmonton will perform by applying a thin layer of whitening gel to your teeth. Afterward, we expose the gel to a zoom light that will activate the components and lighten the colour of your teeth. At Design Dentistry, Zoom Teeth Whitening only takes thirty to sixty minutes to complete, depending on the treatment outcome. In most cases, your teeth will go up to 10 shades lighter, and the effects will last for about 1-2 years, as aforementioned.
At Design Dentistry, our team believes in delivering a smile on your budget. Our goal is to make dental care accessible to everyone, whether you need a complex dental procedure or want to enhance the appearance of your smile.
