Zoom! Teeth Whitening Australia

Free Take Home Kit with In Chair Teeth Whitening. Zoom Teeth Whitening is when a bleaching agent is used to lighten the color of teeth. Natural teeth colors vary from off-white to yellower shades. Some factors influencing tooth color includes surface stains from lifestyle factors (smoking, coffee, red wine), age, poor oral hygiene, some medicines, dental problems (tooth decay, thin enamel, calculus, old fillings), and excessive fluoride. Tooth discoloration by surface stains or age usually respond best to whitening attempts. If you express an interest in Zoom teeth whitening, we will go through your medical and dental history and will also examine your teeth in order to try and determine the reason for the discoloration and decide on the best method of whitening to attempt. If you have any tooth decay or gum disease, we would advise that this be treated first. Most whitening treatments last from one to three years and can be reapplied in this time, however, depending on individual factors such as smoking, diet and oral hygiene, sometimes the results may only last for a few months. If you have any questions or concerns about the treatment, please discuss them with us before we begin the treatment.

Artificial crowns or tooth caps are fitted over a tooth that is chipped, broken or weakened and serves to strengthen the tooth and increase it’s longevity. You will need at least two appointments, as we need to prepare your teeth and take impressions of them, and then send the impressions off to the lab for the crown to be made. In the meantime, we will put a temporary crown on your prepared tooth to protect it. When the crown is sent back from the lab, we can fit it onto your prepared tooth. Once fitted, the crown should feel completely comfortable and natural in your mouth and should last for many years, however, factors such as your oral hygiene and oral health will affect exactly how long they last. We will show you how to clean your crown properly in order to ensure they last for as long as they can.
