Zoom Teeth Whitening in Las Vegas, NV

Dr. Paez will be happy to give you a professional-grade at-home kit if you would prefer to do the tooth whitening in your own time. First he would take an impression of your teeth, and have two trays made, upper and lower. They will fit your teeth exactly, and therefore keep the whitening gel in consistently close contact with your tooth enamel.

Your kit will contain several syringes of whitening gel of a strength you and he agree on as being most appropriate. Some people have extra-sensitive teeth and would not want the strongest whitening gel. The kit also will contain a syringe or tube of desensitizing gel, in case you do feel some sensitivity as you do this treatment. There’ll be a shade strip so you can assess your progress.

Dr. Paez will explain how to use the kit. You can call if you have any questions, and after your treatment, you could schedule a visit so Dr. Paez can assess your progress.

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening is known as one of the quickest, safest, and most effective ways to whiten stained teeth and improve a patient’s overall smile. Although the ZOOM! Teeth Whitening treatment may provide different results for each patient, most patients can expect an overall improvement in the appearance of the color of their teeth. As a quick in-office procedure, this whitening treatment can benefit patients with yellowed or stained teeth.

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening can cost an average of $500. Because teeth whitening is often a cosmetic dental procedure, it is not often covered by dental insurance. While ZOOM! Teeth Whitening treatments are available and can cost less, but they may not provide the same results as an in-office dental treatment.

Results from the ZOOM! Teeth Whitening treatment can last anywhere between 12 to 24 months. Avoiding foods that can stain the teeth and committing to a good oral routine can help patients maintain the brightness of their teeth for a longer period of time.

After getting your teeth professionally whitened, knowing which foods to avoid to prevent tooth staining and discoloration in the future is important when it comes to keeping your teeth as white and bright as possible. We recommend patients who have recently had their teeth whitened avoid the following foods and drinks:

• Foods high in acidity
• Red wine
• Coffee
• Foods that contain dyes
• Dark-colored beverages such as colas or black teas
• Tomato sauces
• Fruit juices

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening is typically not painful for most patients, and very little discomfort is felt during the whitening procedure. However, following treatment, patients may experience an increase in tooth sensitivity. While this is a common side effect of tooth whitening, it can make eating and drinking extremely hot or cold foods slightly more challenging.

The ZOOM! Teeth Whitening procedure is safe! However, if you are pregnant, lactating, or under the age of 14, you may not be a suitable candidate for treatment. Patients with an increased sensitivity to light or those who are undergoing any type of photochemotherapy should not undergo this procedure.

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening treatments are typically not needed more than once a year as it can cause increased tooth sensitivity if whitened too often. However, to maintain a great, stain-free smile, patients can whiten their teeth once each year.
