Will Zoom Whitening whiten my back teeth?

[Dean]

Hi

I would like my teeth whitened with Zoom Whitening. Can you tell if Zoom whitening will whiten my big teeth at the back of my mouth?

Hi Dean

Thank you for your post. With Zoom whitening we do not usually whiten molar teeth. This is because effective Isolation is really not possible for back teeth and the Zoom light rays may not reach the posterior regions.

If you would like your molar teeth whitened too, you can try home Whitening either with or without Zoom whitening.

Hello Dean

Zoom teeth whitening is usually performed on the top and bottom front 8 teeth. This is because these teeth can be safely and effectively isolated to prevent any gum burning. Gum burning is rare and usually reversible should it occur.

To whiten your back teeth as well, which can show when you smile I recommend you do combination whitening or home whitening.

Good Luck
