Philips Zoom in-chair whitening for coffee and wine lovers
For coffee and wine lovers, the pleasure of savouring their favourite beverages frequently comes with a price: persistent tooth stains. While we enjoy our daily cup of coffee or occasional glass of red wine, we do not enjoy how these staining beverages diminish the whiteness of our teeth.
Philips Zoom In-Chair Whitening is a solution that allows you to indulge in your favourite beverages without sacrificing your dazzling smile. In this blog, we will discuss how this advanced teeth whitening system may help coffee and wine drinkers restore the brilliance of their teeth.
The culprits behind tooth stains
Before discussing the advantages of Philips Zoom In-Chair Whitening, it is essential to understand the causes of tooth discolouration. Coffee, wine and other dark-coloured beverages such as tea and cola contain pigments known as chromogens that stick to tooth enamel. Furthermore, the acidic compounds in these beverages can erode tooth enamel, making it more susceptible to staining.
Here are some other common causes of tooth stains:
- Smoking
- Coloured foods
- Ageing
- Poor dental hygiene
- Enamel erosion
- Medications
- Fluorosis
- Trauma
- Genetics
Philips Zoom in-chair whitening
The Philips Zoom in-chair whitening system can effectively remove even the most stubborn stains from coffee, wine and other substances. It involves an in-chair treatment utilising a combination of advanced hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel and the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed Whitening LED light accelerator. The treatment is safe, efficient and performed under the supervision of a dental professional.
How does it work?
During the Philips Zoom in-chair whitening procedure, hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel is applied to the teeth. This gel works by breaking down the molecular bonds of stains, effectively lifting them from the tooth surface. The Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed LED light accelerator then activates the gel, speeding up the whitening process. Variable LED light intensity provides patients with a comfortable experience.
Gentle on teeth
Many individuals are concerned about their teeth’s sensitivity, particularly when considering teeth whitening treatments. Philips Zoom addresses this issue by incorporating mild desensitising agents in conjunction with the whitening treatment. ACP (Amorphous Calcium Phosphate) and potassium nitrate provide additional relief and enamel protection without compromising the treatment’s effectiveness.
Comfort and convenience in one visit
The entire Zoom in-chair whitening process, including preparation, gel application and light exposure, can be completed within 90 – 120 minutes. During this appointment, you can achieve a smile up to 8 shades whiter. The treatment consists of 4 rounds of 15-minute whitening sessions, making it convenient for patients with hectic schedules.
Teeth whitening pre-check and cleaning
Prior to teeth whitening, it is necessary to receive a comprehensive dental check-up and cleaning. This will help remove accumulated plaque and stains from the teeth and prevent tooth decay. By addressing these issues beforehand, we can maximise the effectiveness of teeth whitening.
Long-term results and aftercare
While Philips Zoom in-chair whitening provides immediate and impressive results, appropriate aftercare is required to maintain a brilliant smile. Dentists usually recommend a take-home whitening kit and sensitive toothpaste for tooth health and brightness. In addition, avoiding excessive consumption of staining beverages and cigarettes can help the whitening treatment’s effects last longer.
Proper consultation with a qualified dentist
Whitening your teeth can be an effective method to improve your smile, but it is essential to consult with a qualified dentist prior to beginning the process. Before whitening, your dentist may recommend a dental hygiene appointment, such as a professional cleaning.
Risks of self-bought teeth whitening products
Using over-the-counter or online-purchased teeth whitening products without professional supervision may result in dental problems. The Australian Dental Association advises against these products because they may contain higher concentrations of bleaching agents that, if not used properly, could cause damage to teeth and tissues. In addition, improper or insufficient application of these products can result in uneven whitening, tooth sensitivity, and damage to the tooth enamel.
Teeth whitening by a dentist
Teeth whitening administered by a qualified dentist ensures that the treatment is tailored to the patient’s individual requirements and oral health. To achieve safe and effective results, dentists use professional-grade whitening products with the appropriate concentration of bleaching agents. Dentists can assess the condition of your teeth, identify potential risks and recommend the most appropriate whitening procedure for you after a thorough consultation.
Restricted use of high-strength whitening gels in Australia
In Australia, only dentists may use high-strength whitening gels to ensure patient safety and appropriate supervision during the whitening process. Dentists have the knowledge to precisely administer these gels, minimising potential risks and ensuring optimal outcomes.
