Zoom whitening & receding gums

[Hania]

Good day

I was thinking that I would like my teeth whitened via the zoom process. Although my teeth are not overly sensitive I have had receding gums and some pockets that were caused by my smoking ( I gave up 5 years ago).

I have been told for the last 3 years that my oral hygiene is now excellent but I dont want to do anything that might aggrevate my gums. I also have white fillings on my two front teeth which are chipped. They are slightly whiter anyway but I presume they wouldnt be affected by Zoom. Is this correct?

Would this system be a possibility for me?

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

Yes Zoom whitening is a possibility for you and your receded gum many not be problem other than experiencing some sensitivity but it difficult to assess it without seeing the teeth. As you correctly have mentioned you white fillings will not change colour and they many need replacing. This decision is really finalized after whitening and assessment of the effect of Zoom.
