German Dental Clinic offers teeth whitening treatment with the innovative Zoom! treatment. Our teeth whitening treatments are administered by a cosmetic dentist and help deliver a white, clear and natural smile.
EXPLAINATION
Tooth discolouration can occur for many reasons, the most popular being smoking or drinking dark drinks such as coffee, tea and red wine, causing teeth to stain. However, simply the process of ageing can also cause teeth to become discoloured too.
Ensuring superior results every time, our teeth whitening treatments provide a natural, perfectly white smile.
At German Dental Clinic we offer Zoom. Philips Zoom professional whitening is a fast, effective and safe way to whiten your teeth. Results are immediate and is clinically proven to whiten up to 6 shades in 1 hour. We also offer a home whitening kit.
Both are effective in whitening teeth, however the main difference depends on the application method and time required to see results. In office treatments are done under a dentist’s supervision, can whiten up to 6 shades in one hour and can last for a longer period of time.
For at home treatments, we will take a digital impression of your mouth, make a custom tray and a bleaching solution to take home. This treatment slowly whitens your teeth over time and can be done comfortably at home.
If you're thinking about teeth whitening, you'll be asked to book an appointment with our cosmetic dentist who will inspect your teeth and explain how the process works. Your dentist will also work with you to determine the exact shade of whiteness you're looking to achieve for a natural smile.
Your lips and gums are covered to leave just your teeth exposed. Your dentist will then apply whitening gel to your teeth, and a slightly heated lamp is shone into your mouth. The gel works in conjunction with the light to activate its ingredients, successfully penetrating the surface of the teeth and bleaching any discolouration that may be present.
You'll be given clear and practical advice to follow in order to lengthen the lifetime of your teeth whitening treatment. Your dentist may advise that habits such like too much coffee, red wine or smoking could stain your teeth and you should look to cut them down.
RESULTS
After your session you’ll be given a bespoke touch-up kit to take home. This kit will include custom-fitted whitening trays you can use to maintain the whiteness of your teeth for as long as possible – your dentist will instruct you on both how and when to use the kit.
SAFETY
No, the entire experience is typically pain-free. The most you’re likely to feel is warmth from the light. However, if your teeth are particularly sensitive, you may experience some sensitivity both during and after treatment.
If your teeth are on the more sensitive side, particular precautions and how you can best prepare your teeth for treatment will be discussed with you upon initial consultation.
PRICING
We will protect your gums with a special covering and apply hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth, where it will whiten under a light. The gel stays on your teeth for 15 minutes at a time and the process is repeated three times for a total of 45 minutes.
During this time, you can listen to music or watch TV, making this treatment extremely relaxing and non-invasive.
In addition to the touch-up kit, you should also avoid excessive consumption of certain foods and beverages to prevent your teeth from becoming stained again – including tea, coffee and red wine.
Smoking should also be avoided at all costs too, as tobacco products have been consistently shown to stain teeth over time.
