This procedure is done by zoom lamp. Zoom teeth whitening are simple and painless. It starts with the protection of your lips and gums. Than the dentist apply zoom teeth whitening gel that is activated by light from zoom lamp. This process is repeated 3 times for 15 minutes in the course of a single session.

Upon completion of the treatment, the teeth are treated with a high concentration of fluoride and a paste with the ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate).

3.Bleaching of non-vital teeth

For bleaching non-vital teeth we recommend so called “inside-out” method, because it gives the best results. The material that is used in this case is 35 percent urea peroxide. As for the technique, it consists two phases. In the first stage of the whitening, the whitening gel is applied to the inside of teeth crown. This intervention is necessary to repeat multiple times, until it achieves the desired result. In the second stage, the whitening gel is applied to the outside surface of the teeth, with the help of individual application film. The tooth was restored a week after the completion of the process of bleaching. In the case of a composite (white) fillings made before, the residual oxygen which is released from dental fillings will compromise bonding fillings to the tooth. During teeth whitening, or to the setting of a permanent restoration, it is necessary to emphasize to avoid all highly colored foods and beverages.

Of crucial importance for the success of the treatment is adequate cooperation from the patient. Otherwise, if the patient is not willing or not able to follow the instruction given by the dentist, achieving the brighter color of the teeth will be delayed or failed.
