Whitening vs. bleaching
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

These terms are used interchangeably, but there is technical a difference. Whitening refers to methods of removing surface stains, returning tooth enamel to its natural color. This is usually accomplished with abrasion.<\/p>\n

Bleaching is the use of chemicals that penetrate tubules (microscopic pores in enamel), loosening and lifting embedded pigmentation. The Zoom! system used at Bright Smiles Dental Studio is a bleaching procedure, with a leading-edge advantage. The proprietary Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp is a special light that activates medical-grade bleaching ingredients, to brighten teeth many shades whiter than their original color<\/strong> \u2013 in about an hour.<\/p>\n

Preparing for the procedure<\/h2>\n

Whitening is most effective on clean teeth, so be sure to mention it when you schedule your next checkup. Dr. Garcia evaluates your teeth and existing dental restorations to be sure your mouth is healthy. Then, the whitening treatment begins.<\/p>\n
