Whiter teeth are most often associated with beauty and a healthy lifestyle. Grungy, dirty looking grey or yellow teeth can give a poor impression and with a simple, fast and short dental appointment, teeth can be sparkling white. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, uses only the leading whitener, Zoom® 2 Advanced Power Plus Chairside Tooth Whitening.

First impressions are greatly influenced by the smile. A person’s smile is one of the first things noticed upon a meeting with someone. Age, diet and environment are all factors that will fade a sparkling smile. After only a few years of smoking or drinking coffee and wine, certain people may find that their teeth are lacking the youthful and healthy pearly-white look they once had.  

Some will give up smoking and find that despite regular brushing and dental cleanings, the teeth remain quite discolored. Many find that the original gleaming white look of their youth does not return easily. Of course, many individuals choose to continue drinking coffee, smoking, or consuming other staining foods. Unfortunately, brushing with the whitening toothpastes currently on the market will not make your teeth as white as they can be.

Over-the-counter home whitening systems can be less effective, or create an unreal or imbalanced whitening. Beverly Hills dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi says, “Everyone loves a bright white smile, and there certainly are numerous products and procedures available to help improve the look of yours.  While some people are satisfied with the result that they get from brushing and regular cleaning at the dentist office, I recommend in-office Zoom! whitening system when my patients choose to go beyond routine maintenance to make their smile look brighter.”

The Zoom! whitening system works to lighten the staining of enamel and dentin.  (The calcified tissue around the pulp cavity of a tooth is called dentin. It makes up the bulk of the tooth and is harder and denser than bone.) This method uses of a combination of whitener product and special light wave treatments.

Once the patient is comfortably seated – with a movie to watch, if desired – the first step is to ensure the soft tissues of the mouth are not exposed. “We use a protective gel on the gums or a rubber shield to protect the soft oral tissues during chair side bleaching,” says Dr. Maddahi. “After the Zoom! gel is covering the teeth uniformly, a special bright light is directed at it for about one hour. The properties of the Zoom! teeth whitening gel and the energy produced by the light produce chemical reactions that lead to tooth whitening.”

While there are other tooth whitening alternatives available, such as at-home bleaching and whitening toothpastes, many people have found those products to be less than effective or that they just don’t work.  Dr. Maddahi explains, “We are most likely to get a natural looking, bright white smile if I am treating the patient in the office.”

One no longer has to live with off-color, dull looking teeth.  Teeth can be many shades brighter in just one office visit. Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist, genuinely recommends this leading whitener, Zoom 2 Advanced Power Plus Chairside Tooth Whitening.
