Weekend Zoom whitening

[Dharmpreet]

Hi Guys,

Really interested in the zoom laser whitening treatment. I live in Hertfordshire so would have to come down on a Saturday or Sunday but was hoping for you to make sure my teeth are ok for the treatment and have the whitening done that day? Let me know if this is possible please...

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Yes it is possible to do this for you and we can whiten your teeth over the weekend. To ensure that there is not going to be any problems with your treatment you just have to make sure of few things.

One is that to make sure your teeth are in good condition and you have visited a dentist within the last 6 months and there are no outstanding treatment.
You also get much better result if you have had a recent hygiene appointment and your teeth have no plaque on them. Sometimes we see patients that have not had a dental check up for years nor have they had their teeth cleaned in years. This is not a problem and we can fix all these problems before whitening their teeth but may need few visits and in your case because you are traveling a long distance please make sure your teeth are ready and in suitable condition for whitening.

The other factor is that fillings, crowns and veneers will not change colour with whitening, so you may have to replace them if you have them in you front teeth where they are visible. With back teeth this is not an issue since they are not visible. If you do not have any of these problems then you are very likely ready for your whitening and we would be very happy to do it for you.
