A shining smile can make a big difference to your confidence and mood.
First, we’ll remove the plaque, polish your teeth and check your mouth is healthy. Next, we’ll have a chat about which treatment is right for you.
Whether it’s the instant results of zoom whitening, the gentle process of lightening or the convenience of a take home kit, all our services deliver optimum, safe and long lasting results.
The instant results of Zoom whitening.
Zoom whitening offers a brighter smile instantaneously.
The procedure is performed at our practice, using a tooth whitening agent and a special activating light.
It takes just a little over an hour, and there’s no discomfort and the results are long-lasting.
Making some preparations before the treatment and following our after-care advice will ensure the optimum results.
Preparing for Zoom
At Cameron and Co Dental we'll do a check-up and clean and ensure Zoom whitening is right for you.
It's best to schedule your Zoom whitening on a day you can relax, and it’s essential it’s at a time when you are able to avoid staining your teeth for at least two days.
In the week before the procedure, be extra careful to brush and floss morning and night. We'll also suggest you apply a desensitising mousse to your teeth.
Two days after Zoom
During the 48 period after your treatment, you'll want to steer clear of any strong-coloured food or drinks, like tea and coffee, cola, red wine or dark fruit juice. Berries, cherries and beetroot are also on the list of no-nos.
Maintaining your results
You can help prolong the results by maintaining good dental hygiene, swishing your mouth with water after dark coloured food and drinks, avoiding smoking and scheduling regular check-up and cleans – that way you'll maintain your good health glow for a good year or two.
The gentle process of lightening.
Not everyone is a good candidate for whitening. Anyone who is pregnant, or a teenager, or has just completed orthodontic treatment, would be advised to avoid whitening.
Also, people whose teeth have irregular surfaces, white spots or mottling, or who have teeth prone to acid erosion, will likely find that lightening is the better treatment for them.
Rather than using a whitening agent to alter the colour of the tooth enamel, lightening uses micro-abrasion to polish and smooth the surface of the tooth. A smoother tooth surface reflects more light and makes the teeth appear lighter.
The procedure also involves the application of a mineralised gel, strengthening the tooth surface and making it more resistant to acid erosion and discolouration.
It’s a gentle and comfortable process that delivers long-lasting results.
The convenience of a take home kit.
Cameron and Co Dentals’s home whitening kit gives you the ability to whiten your teeth in your own time and place. The custom made trays fit firmly over your teeth, and help to avoid the irritation of your gums that can happen with commercially available kits.
We’ll take an impression of your bite which is used to fabricate your trays. At home, you’ll simply place a small amount of the whitening solution in each of the trays and fit them to your upper and lower teeth.
The treatment takes 7-14 days, and you can renew your results every one to three years using the same trays.
