Our teeth are designed to last, but over the years, we may experience discoloration or staining from our lifestyle habits and other factors. There are three types of discoloration: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related. 

#1 Extrinsic Discoloration

This discoloration occurs when something comes in contact with your teeth. Extrinsic stains are commonly caused by food and drinks such as red wine, coffee, tea, dark berries, and the like. Poor dental hygiene and dental trauma can also lead to tooth discoloration and hard stains. 

#2 Intrinsic Discoloration

Intrinsic discoloration is caused by interior health issues from inside the teeth or body. Some medical conditions can discolor teeth, such as metabolic diseases, liver disease, celiac disease, and calcium deficiencies. Medications and genetics can also play a role in tooth discoloration. 

#3 Age-Related Discoloration

Some discoloration and darkening of the teeth can be caused by natural aging. As we age, our teeth’s enamel wears away and exposes the dentin beneath. This can make our teeth look grey or yellow instead of white. 

With Zoom! teeth whitening, Dr. Rivera can easily and effectively remove tough stains and help improve the appearance of yellow or grey-hued teeth. 

Zoom! teeth whitening is an advanced bleaching process used to lighten the discoloration of enamel, the hard outer layer of the tooth, and dentin, the soft inner layer of the tooth. Dr. Rivera is highly skilled in the artistry of teeth whitening to deliver the exceptional results you deserve. Zoom! teeth whitening is a comfortable and quick procedure that can lighten your teeth by several shades.

For our patients’ convenience and comfort, we perform Zoom! teeth whitening in our Oakbrook Terrace dental office. Zoom! Teeth Whitening is an advanced system that uses 25 percent hydrogen peroxide to effectively and thoroughly lighten stained and discolored teeth. 

Dr. Rivera uses the Zoom! Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate the whitening agent and accelerate the bleaching process. As the hydrogen peroxide breaks down, the oxygen penetrates the enamel and dentin to deeply bleach the tooth. 

Zoom! teeth whitening also helps protect your teeth’s enamel while improving luster and reducing sensitivity. Ultimately, Zoom! teeth whitening allows Dr. Rivera to gently and thoroughly lighten the tooth from the inside out without harming or changing its structure. And the best part? Zoom’s fast-acting system allows you to instantly enjoy a radiant smile—in as little as one office visit! 

Teeth whitening is a booming industry, and it’s becoming more popular as people flock to store shelves for at-home whitening kits. However, professional teeth whitening is safer and more effective than generic over-the-counter whitening treatments. Zoom! teeth whitening is one of the many ways Dr. Rivera can help you regain your confidence and enhance your smile.
