Year after year, teeth whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental treatments in this country — and with good reason. Studies show people with whiter teeth smile more, feel more confident and youthful, and are perceived as healthier, more attractive, and even more successful.
At Northwoods Dental Group in Columbus, OH, Dr. Nathan Klabunde, DDS, offers the best-in-class Zoom!® in-office whitening system, and he sees this service's transformative benefits first-hand. If you’re ready to join the millions who are smiling wide, thanks to whiter teeth, here’s what he wants you to know.
Over time, various factors contribute to the discoloration of teeth. The consumption of dark-colored foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine can stain the enamel. Additionally, tobacco use, poor dental hygiene, aging, and certain medications can all play a role in the yellowing or graying teeth.
The Zoom!® in-office whitening system is a safe and effective way to restore your teeth's natural brightness. A hydrogen peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth during the treatment, then activated by a specially designed LED light. This combination breaks down the stains, leaving your teeth up to 8 shades whiter, reversing stains from food and drinks, aging, and even discoloration from some types of medication. The procedure typically takes around an hour, during which you can relax comfortably in our office.
While drug-store whitening products can be tempting, they often lack results. Professional teeth whitening treatments, like the Zoom!®, contain a higher concentration of the whitening agent hydrogen peroxide. Also, your treatment is supervised by dental experts who can customize the process to your specific needs.
Most over-the-counter whitening products contain about 3% hydrogen peroxide, versus then up to 10% in professional whitening products.
We also offer take-home kits so you can maintain your gleaming smile. Kits contain custom-made whitening trays and medical-grade whitening gel. Custom-designed trays fit your teeth precisely, ensuring consistent and even distribution of the whitening gel.
Investing in a professional teeth whitening treatment at Northwoods Dental Group can significantly transform your smile and take years off your appearance.
