Zoom Whitening is a type of bleaching process that is popularly used around the globe to bring back the teeth’s natural white pigmentation by lightening the discoloration of enamel and dentin. There are many culprits that cause the yellowing of teeth — coffee, tea, cola, red wine, and smoking. Moreover, the aging process of a person can also affect the color of their teeth.

One way to counteract tooth discoloration is Zoom Whitening. This in-office tooth whitening procedure uses its unique Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to boost the bleaching process and activate the 25% hydrogen peroxide whitening. The breakage of hydrogen peroxide allows oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin and bleach away the stains without affecting the structure of each tooth.

Planning the treatment and doctor consultation

Before booking your Zoom Teeth Whitening treatment, consult your dentist first to make sure that this treatment is perfect for you and there will be no unwanted side effects down the road. Your dentist will also hand in some advice about your daily habits, lifestyle, and oral hygiene to make sure that you will get the most out of the treatment. Moreover, a consultation will help you and your dentist determine what type of teeth whitening treatment will be best for you.

Another thing that the dentist will advise you is that you may need to whiten your teeth if you are getting veneers, composite bonding, and other cosmetic dental procedures. This will ensure that the pigmentation of the natural teeth will perfectly blend with that of veneers’. The dentist will also assess the condition of your teeth and determine your goal, and maybe teeth whitening may be the last treatment you will need. The dentist will also take note of your existing dental work such as crowns and veneers that do not respond to teeth whitening agents.

Zoom Whitening: How it works?

Prior to the treatment day, the patient must get regular teeth cleaning treatment with the dentist first. On the day of your actual treatment, the procedure starts by covering your lips and gums to expose the teeth. Next, Zoom hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied to the teeth. Together with the Zoom light, this gel penetrates the teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. The gel is left covering the teeth for 15 minutes while exposed to Zoom light. As this process is taking place, the light breaks down the gel and gets rid of the substances that stain your teeth. There will be a short break after the first session before the dentist applies a new layer of hydrogen peroxide gel, repeating the session two more times. After the three 15-minute sessions, the dentist will apply a special fluoride gel on your teeth to minimize their sensitivity.
