What is zoom teeth whitening?

Zoom teeth whitening is a popular and effective in-office teeth whitening procedure that can significantly brighten and whiten your teeth in a relatively short amount of time. It is a trademarked teeth whitening system developed by Philips, a well-known company in the dental and healthcare industry. Zoom teeth whitening is known for its speed and ability to produce immediate results, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a quick and noticeable improvement in the color of their teeth.

Here’s how the Zoom teeth whitening process typically works:

Preparation: Your dentist will begin by evaluating your oral health and ensuring that you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. Any existing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, may need to be addressed before the procedure.

Protection: To protect your lips, gums, and cheeks from the whitening gel and the specialized Zoom light, your dentist will place a protective barrier in your mouth.

Application of Whitening Gel: A hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel, formulated specifically for use with the Zoom system, is applied to your teeth. This gel is activated by the Zoom light, which helps to accelerate the whitening process.

Zoom Light Activation: You will wear special eyewear to shield your eyes from the Zoom light, and the light is then directed onto your teeth for a specified period, typically about 15 minutes. The combination of the gel and the light works to break down and remove stains and discoloration from your tooth enamel.

Gel Reapplication: Steps 3 and 4 are typically repeated two to four times during a single treatment session, depending on the desired level of whitening and the dentist’s recommendations.

Post-Treatment Application: After the final Zoom light activation, a post-treatment gel is applied to your teeth to help reduce sensitivity and protect your tooth enamel.

Evaluation: Your dentist will assess the results, and you will be able to see the immediate difference in the color of your teeth.

 

Zoom teeth whitening offers several advantages:

Speed: It is known for its quick results, with many patients achieving significant whitening in just one session.

Effectiveness: Zoom is effective at removing both surface stains and deeper discoloration within the tooth enamel.

Safety: The procedure is performed by dental professionals, ensuring safety and minimal risk of complications.

Customization: The dentist can tailor the treatment to achieve your desired level of whitening.

While Zoom teeth whitening can produce dramatic results, the longevity of the whitening effect can vary depending on factors such as your diet, oral hygiene habits, and lifestyle choices (e.g., smoking).
