Las Vegas Dentist Serving Summerlin, Spring Valley And Nearby Nevada Locations
Nevada Dental Esthetics offers a couple of different options for tooth whitening, but the one we recommend most is the ZOOM! Teeth Whitening system. The most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure in our Las Vegas office is tooth whitening.
If your smile isn’t as white and bright as you would like it to be, ZOOM! may be the perfect solution for you. Learn more by calling 702-737-3553 today for a free consultation with Dr. Jorge Paez.
Why Use ZOOM! Teeth Whitening?
Dr. Paez and his staff use the ZOOM! whitening system because it is quick, easy and highly effective. Compared with other cosmetic dentistry procedures, it is relatively inexpensive.
In fact, Dr. Paez treats patients from all over the world because ZOOM! is much less expensive here than in other countries. Some come to see him in Las Vegas just to get their teeth whitened, while others are in Vegas for fun or business and decide to see Dr. Paez while they are in town. Whatever the reason, they all leave with beautifully white smiles!
What To Expect From ZOOM Teeth Whitening!
You will arrive at our office for your treatment and leave about an hour and half later with a considerably brighter and whiter smile! While the measurements are not an exact science, you can look forward to your teeth being six to ten shades lighter.
The Zoom! Tooth Whitening system uses a high-intensity, light-activated hydrogen peroxide gel to whiten your teeth. The treatment itself takes an hour, with an additional 20 to 30 minutes spent on getting set up beforehand, and on checking your teeth afterwards.
Steps to a whiter smile include:
- Preparation: Dr. Paez will put a blocking substance on your lips, gums and other soft tissues to protect them from the whitening light. We will also provide you with protective eye goggles.
- Whitening: During three 20-minute sessions, the whitening gel will be placed on your teeth and the light will shine on it. During that time you can listen to music or just rest.
- Follow-up: A five-minute fluoride treatment will conclude the session. Dr. Paez will then give you a follow-up kit to take home. You can use this to further whiten you teeth if possible, or keep it for touch-ups later on.
ZOOM! provides you with immediate, long-lasting results without harming the enamel. With good dental hygiene, your new bright smile can last for many years.
Patient Testimonial
"Dr. Paez is the kindest and most gentle dentist I have ever been to in my life. The office staff has always been very nice to me too. I have been a patient for may years and hope to remain a patient for may years to come."
What Is A Teeth Whitening Take-Home Kit?
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.
Does ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Really Work?
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.
How Much Does ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Cost?
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.
How Long Do the Results from ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Last?
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.
What Foods Should I Avoid After ZOOM! Teeth Whitening?
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
How Painful is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening?
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.
Is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Safe?
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.
How Many ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Will I Need?
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.
