My teeth have become patchy after zoom teeth whitening

[Freya]

Helo

I had zoom teeth whitening done one week ago and after the procedure I noticed that my teeth had become patchy with some teeth areas whiter than other areas.

I would like to know if there is anything that can be done to make my teeth whitening results more even looking? Is there something wrong with procedure or is this normal?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Teeth becoming patchy after zoom teeth whitening does happen and is not unusual. The cause of it can be for several reasons but we think it is partly due to the tooth structure. You do not need to worry about this because these patches slowly will disappear and the tooth will have a uniform shade and appearance. It just take some time.

My best suggestion for more uniform and whiter teeth after zoom whitening would be home whitening specially that you have full control over it. So you can assess it as its effect is more gradual (also longer lasting also).
