Dr. Kourosh Maddahi has helped many patients achieve a brighter smile in his Beverly Hills cosmetic dental office using Zoom2! teeth whitening. A whiter, brighter, more attractive smile can be yours in just one office visit.

Many people get their teeth whitened when they have a special occasion coming up – if a person is getting married, they can have a beautiful smile for all those important wedding photos. If a person is starting a new job, they can quickly gain a winning smile, helping give extra confidence for a great first impression.

Kourosh Maddahi, DDS, recommends Zoom! tooth whitening as the fastest and most effective way to dramatically whiten teeth. "Generally, teeth tend to darken to an off-white, yellowish shade as we get older. The Zoom! treatment will lift the stains that have built up over the years from things that stain the teeth, such as tea, coffee, tobacco or red wine, and restore them back to their natural color."

The surface of the teeth contain millions of microscopic pores, and over the years, organic compounds from food, soda, tea, coffee or tobacco penetrate these pores causing discoloration of the tooth enamel. The Zoom! process uses a hydrogen peroxide based gel combined with a special light, which creates a chemical reaction to whiten the teeth, without harming the teeth's enamel.

During your treatment, Dr. Maddahi will ensure that the gums are completely protected, and that the bleaching gel will not be ingested by the patient. The whitening gel is applied directly to the teeth, and activated by the laser light which enables the gel to swiftly penetrate and break down any discoloration.


Most people find the procedure completely painless, however a small percentage may experience temporary sensitivity to hot and cold for a day or so following treatment. Similar sensitivity can be experienced with any form of tooth whitening products, although one of the benefits of professional whitening with a cosmetic dentist is that these symptoms can be monitored and the dentist can help provide relief if they do occur.

"Some of the home whitening products on the market can be messy and inconvenient." Dr. Maddahi says, "Often people spend a good deal of money and time on products that just do not work as well as they hoped." With in-office Zoom! tooth whitening, there are no messy and uncomfortable products which need to be used daily for an extended period of time as with home whitening options. Zoom! whitening is fast and gives instant results, making teeth really shine.

 

After the Zoom! treatment, the patient is provided with an at-home tooth whitening system to be used for occasional touch-ups. Zoom! Weekender or Nite White gel are available only from your dentist, and can be used to keep your teeth looking their best. With Zoom!, patients will find that their teeth stay noticeably whiter for up to two years, however if they refrain from using substances which stain the teeth, and take proper care of their teeth, a patient can achieve the longest possible lasting bright and sparkling smile.
