Bleaching and Enamel Damage

The reason I chose the Zoom system for my practice is because of the amount of research that went into the product and the preventative measures that Discus Dental has put into place to protect patients receiving the procedure. Any minor changes that occur to your teeth due to Zoom whitening occur at the office on the day that you have the procedure and there is no progressive damage afterwards. The ACP gel that you receive actually remineralizes your enamel afterwards to help rebuild any... more
