One of the most common treatments in cosmetic dentistry today is Zoom Teeth Whitening.

Who doesn’t want a brighter, healthier-looking smile?

A smile is one of the first things people notice, and a confident, radiant smile can leave a lasting impression on those we meet.

It’s no secret we love Zoom Teeth Whitening at Dakabin Dental, not only because of the immediate results but also the confidence it brings to our patients.

If you have recently undergone Zoom teeth whitening or are thinking about it, you may be wondering how long the results last and how to extend the life of your newly whitened teeth

So how long does teeth whitening last?

Unfortunately, the answer is it depends.

The effects can last anywhere from 6 months to up to 2 years, varying from person to person and largely depends on how well you care for your teeth.

As a general rule of thumb, our patients come in for an annual Zoom whitening treatment.

There are definitely some things we recommend avoiding in order to extend the life of your teeth whitening.

Things that will stain your teeth quickly and make your whitening short-lived include:

Smoking
Dark liquids (coffee, tea and red wine addicts, we are looking at you)
Staining foods like beetroot and berries

We wouldn’t dare to advise our patients to cut these out completely…

After all, we love a good glass of red and warm cup of coffee as much as the next person!

But we do recommend avoiding these staining foods as much as possible.

Or, and here us out, drinking dark liquids through a straw. No? Ok, fair enough ;).

Brushing your teeth twice a day will also help to keep your teeth whitening noticeable for as long as possible as well as getting regular check up and cleans every 6 months.

At Dakabin, our Zoom Teeth Whitening comes with a take home kit post treatment, we highly recommend following this rigorously to ensure you get the most out of your treatment.

If you are reading this blog, then chances are, you have considered teeth whitening in the past.

If you are wanting to restore those pearly whites, then keep reading because Zoom teeth whitening may be the perfect solution for you.

This popular treatment can help you achieve a brighter smile in as little as an hour.

So what’s involved?

The first step is to schedule a consultation with your dentist.

During this appointment, the Dakabin Dental team will assess the condition of your teeth and determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

Your dentist will provide you with instructions on how to prepare for your appointment. You will be provided with pre-treatment instructions, which include coming to your appointment with clean teeth. This means that you should brush and floss your teeth before coming in for your treatment.

You will also need to have any metal fillings or other dental appliances removed.

The dentist will then apply a special gel to your teeth. This gel helps to open up the pores of your teeth so that the whitening solution can penetrate more deeply.

The Zoom whitening lamp will then be used to activate the bleaching solution and the light from the lamp will help to break down the stains on your teeth.

In under an hour, your teeth will be significantly whiter. In most cases, Zoom whitening can achieve results up to 8 shades whiter in just one sitting!

For those coffee and red wine lovers, if there are any stubborn stains at the end of your treatment, you may recommend additional treatments.

After your treatment is complete, you will want to make sure that you take care of your teeth and follow the aftercare protocols very closely.

You will need to avoid eating or drinking for at least an hour after your treatment so the whitening solution has time to work and keep whitening your teeth.

Again, those coffee and red wine drinkers, you will need to avoid dark liquids and also foods for a minimum of 24 hours.

This ensures that with diligent and proper care, your teeth will stay white and bright for months to come.

Check out this amazing Zoom whitening before and after in just one sitting!

So how do we achieve such amazing results?

In‑chair and take‑home options are available. Suitability, sensitivity and shade change vary. We’ll discuss expected outcomes, maintenance and costs.
