Read below to discover how we can help you achieve your smile goals in our office or in the comfort of your own home.

The Teeth Whitening Procedure

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening lives up to its name, providing you with a brand-new smile in just one quick appointment. For most patients, we can achieve the desired results in an hour or less. This unmatched speed is possible because of the powerful bleaching gel that’s more concentrated than over-the-counter products.

After Dr. Bingham applies the gel to your teeth, he’ll shine a special light on them to activate the ingredients and accelerate the whitening process. The powerful bleaching agent will remove stains and discoloration from deep inside your tooth enamel, brightening your smile by several shades in an hour or less.

Causes of Stained Teeth

There are many different factors that can lead to stained teeth. Some of the most common are:

Inadequate Oral Hygiene — The most common cause of stained teeth is a lack of oral hygiene. Make sure to brush and floss daily, as well as visit Dr. Bingham for biannual checkups.
Tobacco — Smoking or chewing tobacco often causes teeth to appear yellow as a result of nicotine stains.
Certain Foods and Beverages — Many popular drinks are known to stain teeth, including coffee, tea, red wine, and soda. Certain foods may stain your teeth as well, such as berries, pomegranates, and curry.
Some Medications — Antibiotics like tetracycline or doxycycline may leave stains on your teeth.
Aging — Your teeth will inevitably lose some of their natural whiteness as you get older. Stains may also appear in parts of your teeth where the enamel has worn down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ZOOM! Teeth Whitening hurt?

ZOOM! Teeth Whitening is virtually painless and most patients won’t feel any pain during their treatment. Before Dr. Bingham performs your procedure, he’ll protect your gums and apply local anesthetic to numb your teeth and ensure you don’t feel any discomfort. While you may experience some sensitivity after your teeth whitening treatment, this will quickly subside on its own.

Is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening safe?

As long as a qualified cosmetic dentist like Dr. Bingham is conducting your teeth whitening, the procedure is safe. When you visit our Nampa, ID practice for an in-office teeth whitening appointment, our experienced team will ensure that you’re safe and comfortable over the course of your treatment. In as little as one hour, we can deliver the stunning results that you’d expect from ZOOM! teeth whitening.

Is oral cancer deadly?

Yes, oral cancer can be deadly. Unfortunately, oral cancer is often detected too late to be treated effectively, which is why it’s so important to self-check and inform your dentist about your desire to be examined as well. At Premier Dental Care, we’ll perform routine inspections each time you come into the office, and we recommend scheduling regular biannual appointments.

Does oral cancer spread quickly?

Most oral cancers do have a tendency to spread quickly to other parts of the body once they’ve become progressed. Early detection can help immensely with the effective treatment of oral cancers, which is why we recommend coming in for regular checkups. At our office, we’ll always inspect your mouth for signs of oral cancer to attempt to diagnose it before it can spread.
