#TopTeeth The ZOOM! Chairside Whitening System by Cosmopolitan Dental, Official Dentist of Whom You Know @GaroNazarianDDS #cosmopolitandental #loveyoursmile Highly Recommended by #PeachyDeegan @ManhattanPeachy Whom You Know


It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Dr. Garo Nazarian! In fact, we knew him before he was a dentist and were singing his praises from 2006 on the day he opened and have been ever since, including the whole 15 and a half years of our site and counting. In June of 2009, we first raved about the whitening process at Cosmopolitan Dental and all of you know a few thousand posts later just how dirty Peachy's teeth have gotten with all foods and drinks of color. We wanted to restore sparkle!

Whitening your teeth is a lasting investment in your style and the whiter, the better! The results are the visual equivalent of your teeth stepping out of the Diamond District except the Diamond District of TEETH is not on 47th Street: it's right at Cosmopolitan Dental at 30 East 40th Street!  We highly recommend the brightening experience at Cosmopolitan Dental and to allow you to understand the process, Peachy is going to tell you exactly what happened to her to achieve the whitest and brightest smile in Manhattan. Peachy has no tooth issues at all and has been going to Cosmopolitan Dental every six months since it opened.

Pre-appointment planning is necessary: You must be in the mood to take a bit of a nap while you are being brightened and Peachy Deegan highly recommends bringing your phone. In 2009 she listened to music but this time she actually responded to the never ending emails incoming! A book is not a good idea as you cannot move during this process. You should be warned that your mouth will be stretched out a bit and you may be minimally sore, but you know it hurts a little to be beautiful! This minimal discomfort is more than well-worth the result. Peachy is a bigger wimp in 2024 than she was in 2009 and she did take Advil the day of the procedure.

The process varies from patient to patient depending on how white or stained your teeth originally are.

Cosmpopolitan Dental will match your teeth to one of twentysomething samples to determine the current color of your teeth, which in turn determines the proper bleach to use to get your teeth to the proper ultimate whiteness. They will also ask your opinion, but Peachy's opinion is to defer to Garo because he is the expert and you can see the unedited results above.

This is a science, and this aspect of the process is just one example of why going to a professional makes all the difference. If you buy over-the-counter whitestrips, which Peachy Deegan has tried in the past, there is no comparison in the process or the result, more importantly. Using whitestrips is like taking a shower with a cottonball. Going to Cosmopolitan Dental to get your teeth whitened is like going to a spa for a shower getting every treatment available done.

Your mouth will be opened with a mouth opener so your teeth are quite visible and accessible for the procedure, and a bit of cotton will be packed into your cheeks. Every safety precaution is taken to protect your dental health. Then Cosmopolitan Dental will shine a blue light on your teeth after painting on the bleach.

Next is naptime. If you highlight your hair, this is kind of like when you sit under the dryer with the aluminum foil on for that. For up to four 15-minute intervals, you will sit under the Zoom! blue light. Pretend you are at the beach. They will check on you continuously to see how you are doing and will only do all four if you are comfortable. After a rinse off, it was time for "Mirror Mirror on the Wall, who has the Whitest Smile of them all?" and it is Peachy Deegan of course! Thank you Garo. We know you all want it done now too-contact Cosmopolitan Dental for this and all of your dental needs. Of course, after the procedure you cannot come in contact with dark staining substances such as red wine, coffee, cola, etc. and Peachy ate and drank colorless everything for three whole days after. She is now drinking everything with color through a straw to protect her superior results.

The ZOOM! Chairside Whitening System is a scientifically advanced tooth whitening procedure. It is safe, effective and fast. In only one office visit, your teeth will become dramatically whiter. ZOOM! Chairside Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of ZOOM! Makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual. The procedure is simple and begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. The ZOOM! proprietary whitening gel is then applied and works with the ZOOM! Whitening lamp to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. With proper care and maintenance, your smile will have a lasting sparkle.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

There are many causes of tooth discoloration. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. during tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

Who May Benefit From Tooth Whitening?

Almost anyone may benefit from tooth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Yellow staining from aging, tobacco, dark cola, tea, coffee and red wine will achieve the greatest success with this procedure. Those patients with grey shading from tetracycline or other chemicals may experience less dramatic results, but should expect improvement from this brief procedure.

Is Whitening Safe?

Yes. Years of extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dental professional is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.

How Long Do Results Last?

By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, it is recommended that you floss and brush twice daily. For additional maintenance of your brighter, whiter smile we offer custom-made take home bleaching trays which will allow you to maintain the color of your smile. It is highly recommended to schedule an appointment for a ZOOM! Whitening consultation with Dr. Nazarian, expert in Teeth Whitening in New York City, during which all of your questions and concerns will be addressed.
