Reveal Your White, Bright Smile with Professional Teeth Whitening

Although you brush and floss your teeth diligently, they may lose their shine over time. Teeth staining may occur due to the foods you eat, the medicines you take, and poor habits like smoking. If your teeth are stained and you’d like to restore their natural whiteness, Zoom teeth whitening in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, can be a good option. Please schedule an appointment today with Dr. Chad Biggio and his team to see the difference teeth whitening can make for your smile.

What causes teeth to change color?

Teeth can become discolored over time as part of the aging process. Over time, the shiny enamel wears out, allowing the yellow dentine to show through.

The other reasons your teeth may discolor include:

  • Consuming strongly pigmented foods and beverages like coffee, dark wine, dark berries, etc.
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Certain medications
  • Smoking
  • Certain treatments like chemotherapy
  • Dental trauma

Professional teeth whitening is a highly effective method for eliminating most tooth stains to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. However, certain types of stains and discoloration may not respond to whitening treatments. The dentist will disguise your discoloration with veneers, crowns, or dental bonding in such cases. 

Why avoid store-bought products?

DIY whitening solutions are readily available in the nearest drugstore but aren’t as effective as professional teeth whitening. Most of these products exaggerate their claims, leading to frustrating results and even tooth damage. 

Only do it through a dentist when you want to whiten your teeth. Cosmetic dentists use professional-strength whitening products to brighten your smile, often resulting in safe, effective, and long-lasting outcomes. 

What should I expect from Zoom teeth whitening?

Our office uses Zoom teeth whitening, a popular and effective in-office whitening system that brightens your teeth in a single visit. Before any teeth whitening session in our office, we’ll examine your teeth for extreme sensitivity, gum disease, and tooth decay. These issues must be addressed first before proceeding with teeth bleaching. 

Has it been a while since your teeth were professionally cleaned? We’ll administer a dental cleaning to remove dental plaque and calculus, which may reduce the potency of the whitening gels. 

Once the basics are cared for, your Zoom teeth whitening procedure involves the following steps.

  • We’ll document the current shade of your teeth. This will be used as a reference for your before and after comparison
  • The doctor will use a retractor to protect your lips, cheeks, and gums from the bleaching gels
  • We’ll carefully apply the hydrogen peroxide gel on the visible surfaces of your teeth
  • After application, we’ll activate the whitening gel using a Zoom light, leaving the solution on your teeth for approximately 15 minutes. We’ll repeat this procedure three times. Before each session, we’ll remove the old gel and apply a fresh layer
  • Once you achieve your desired shade, we’ll apply a desensitizing gel to ease any discomfort

Zoom whitens your teeth up to eight shades in less than one hour! This way, you can achieve a white, bright smile just in time for your upcoming wedding, interview, date, or other big moment.
