What to Expect During a Zoom Whitening Session

Recognized as one of Albuquerque, New Mexico’s top cosmetic dentists, Roderick Garcia, DMD performs diverse procedures for veneers, implants, and whitening. Moreover, Roderick Garcia, DMD offers in-office Zoom teeth whitening.

Zoom whitening procedures combine lightening hydroperoxide gel with an ultra-violet lamp device. Dentists begin the procedure with a thorough cleaning to remove tartar. The patient’s teeth, gums, and lips are treated with a protective solution before the whitening gel is painted onto the teeth’s surface. After the gel application, the dentist will activate the gel by holding the UV lamp against the teeth for three 15-minute rounds.

Following the last round, the dentist will apply a fluoride solution that reduces sensitivity. While the results are visible right away, patients must brush the fluoride solution off their teeth within half an hour and perform touch-ups at home. To maintain results, patients should avoid harsh beverages such as coffee, dark sodas, and red wine. Likewise, smoking and using other tobacco products is not advised.
