Brightening up your smile doesn’t have to be a hassle! Whether you enjoy an occasional glass of wine or are just experiencing the effects of aging, Dr. Todd Petersen and Dr. Tad Tholstrom of Amigos Dental Care offer Zoom® Teeth Whitening to help patients achieve a brighter, more confident look in just one session.
What is teeth whitening, and why is it the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatment?
Who doesn’t love a bright, white smile? Teeth whitening is the most sought-after cosmetic dentistry treatment, and it’s not hard to see why. Even though many teeth whitening methods promise a bright, dazzling smile, Phillips Zoom® is trusted by many dentists because of its ability to deliver dramatic results quickly. In just one appointment, Dr. Petersen and Dr. Tholstrom can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth, making them several shades whiter.
How to Get White Teeth with Zoom® Whitening
Before starting the teeth whitening process, we strongly suggest undergoing basic teeth cleaning to remove built-up tartar and plaque that can dull the smile. After preparing the teeth, here’s what one might experience during a standard Zoom® teeth whitening session:
Because our teeth whitening gel is so powerful, our cosmetic dental team must protect the lips, gums, and other soft tissue with a unique mouthpiece that only exposes the teeth.
Your dentist will carefully apply the whitening gel to the outer surface of the teeth and let it soak in for about 15 minutes. Zoom® whitening gel is a proprietary blend of highly concentrated, peroxide-based brightening agents.
More gel and light are applied every fifteen minutes until the desired results are reached. Typically, this takes around 45 minutes.
Once exceptional teeth whitening results have been achieved, it’s up to the patient to maintain their results. Some ways to extend the life of your teeth whitening results include keeping up with proper oral hygiene, avoiding staining food and drinks, and not using tobacco products. Also, your Salt Lake City teeth whitening dentist might suggest scheduling another round of teeth whitening in a few months to revamp the appearance of your smile.

- Will teeth whitening damage my teeth?
The chances of damage with professional teeth whitening are minimal to none. On the other hand, if you’re considering at-home teeth whitening, we suggest researching first and looking for an ADA seal on the whitening products you invest in. Overall, it’s better to seek professional teeth whitening solutions rather than experiment at home.
- Can I whiten my tooth crown, veneer, or other dental work?
Our teeth whitening treatment is designed to bleach enamel only. So, if you have existing dental work or plan on getting some soon, please let your cosmetic dentist know—otherwise, you might have a mismatched smile.
