Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening – St. Petersburg and Seffner Florida

Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening

 

Teeth Whitening Service Promotion

A question we hear from our patients at Dr. Weber’s St. Petersburg and Seffner dental offices, is what products do we offer for whitening teeth? Before we can respond, they blurt out “is it the one that celebrities use?” The answer is yes. Here at Kurt K. Weber, D.D.S., P.A., we offer Zoom whitening, both in-office and take-home trays.

As our #1 patient requested teeth whitening treatment, there are many reasons why they may want a brighter smile, whether it’s a wedding, graduations, parties or even self-confidence. The patients are often surprised by their results and quick to point out the difficultly of other off-the-shelf products.

Philips Zoom whitening is a teeth-bleaching procedure used throughout the world. Zoom uses professional grade 25% hydrogen peroxide gel that penetrates below the enamel, resulting up to 8 shades of improvement. Once applied to the surface of the teeth, an overhead lamp uses UV light to activate the gel allowing oxygen molecules to break the carbon bonds holding stains together.

 

Is Zoom! Whitening Right for You?

If you are interested in teeth whitening, call or visit our St. Petersburg or Seffner dental office. Dr. Weber will decide whether you’re a good candidate for Zoom whitening during the consultation and examination. There are many factors that determine whether in-office Zoom whitening is right for you, including oral hygiene habits, the current condition of your teeth, previous dental work and certain medications.

If the dentist decides that the in-office treatment is not recommended for you at this time, you still may be eligible for Zoom take-home trays. Zoom whitening take-home trays are custom-fit, allowing you to safely whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. However, Zoom is not recommended for children under 13 years of age or for women who are pregnant or nursing.

Zoom! Procedure

A typical Zoom procedure lasts 60 – 90 minutes. A regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to treatment, but the dentist will determine that during your examination. In preparation, a dental assistant will cover your lips and gums to protect the sensitive tissue leaving only the teeth exposed. After applying the professional grade hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth, a Zoom chairside UV lamp is placed into position. Together, the light and gel break up stains and discoloration.

The Zoom process consists of four 15-minute sessions. During that time, you can relax and listen to music. After you have completed your last whitening session, a special fluoride gel is applied to reduce any sensitivity you might have had during treatment. For an additional cost, Philips Zoom offers take-home trays to extend the benefits of your treatment and help keep your teeth whiter.

 

Aftercare

TEEHT WHITENING TEST 1To extend the whitening effects of your Zoom treatment, it’s recommended to not drink or eat anything that will stain your teeth such as soda, coffee, marinara sauce, blueberries, etc. for 2 days following your treatment. Additionally, maintaining a good oral health, such as brushing and flossing and regular cleanings will help prevent stains from reforming.

If you have purchased the Zoom take-home trays, follow the instructions given to you by the dentist.

 

How much does Zoom! cost?

The average cost of Zoom whitening is $400 without the take-home trays. To maximize the results, it’s recommended to purchase the take-home trays which average an additional $250. This includes a custom whitening tray, molded to fit your teeth and the whitening gel. Unfortunately, Zoom whitening treatments are not covered by your dental insurance, but if you need financing CareCredit is here to help. (6 month payment period only)
