BEST CANDIDATES
Your procedure at LifeTime Smiles of OC will be chosen and personalized to create your desired results. For faster results, QuickPro is designed to remove surface stains caused by foods, beverages, and tobacco products. WhiteSpeed also treats surface enamel stains, but it can also treat discoloration caused by aging and certain medications. Additionally, Zoom teeth whitening can be beneficial for eliminating white spots after the removal of braces. At your initial consultation, Dr. Abraham will examine the condition of your teeth and explain which method best fits your goals and needs. You may also need home whitening kits: Zoom DayWhite or NiteWhite. An at-home treatment may be performed either on its own or following your office Zoom procedure to enhance and refresh your outcomes.
WHAT TO EXPECT
If you want WhiteSpeed or QuickPro, you can plan your treatment so it follows your cleaning at LifeTime Smiles of OC. This will eliminate tartar and plaque so the whitening treatment application is even on your teeth. After your teeth are clean and dry, your gums will be covered before the process starts. For QuickPro, every tooth is painted with whitening varnish and then covered with a sealant for protection. As soon as your teeth have been evenly coated, you can leave our office. After about 30 minutes, you can remove the varnish by brushing your teeth.
For WhiteSpeed, a whitening gel will be painted on your teeth. After your teeth are covered with the solution, a light will activate the stain removal treatment. These steps will be done three times in the course of around 45 minutes. Any excess gel will be cleaned off of your enamel before a final gel is used to reduce sensitivity and fortify your teeth.
FOLLOW-UP
Dr. Abraham can talk to you about post-treatment ways to take care of your teeth following your Zoom treatment. The best way to sustain your results is to follow a good oral care routine at home with regular flossing, brushing, and mouthwash use. Bi-annual cleanings at LifeTime Smiles of OC can also help to brighten your teeth and keep your mouth clean. You should also avoid consuming staining foods, drinks, and tobacco products if you’d like your teeth to remain white. You may boost your results with Zoom home kits and schedule another professional treatment in our office as needed.
INSURANCE COVERAGE
Teeth whitening is an elective procedure so it’s typically not covered by your insurance. In your initial consultation with Dr. Kareem Abraham, he can discuss your options and help you decide on the method that matches your goals and budget. Dr. Abraham will also discuss the payment methods we take and low-interest medical financing options to make your procedure more affordable.
