Zoom Whitening

What is Zoom Teeth Whitening?
This type of in-office teeth whitening procedure is possibly the most sought after in dentistry at the moment, this is because of its revolutionary technology that can break down even the toughest stains and restore your teeth to a level above your natural whiteness.
How Does Zoom Whitening Work?
Traditional whitening procedures can lighten teeth by a few shades, but patients have been known to improve the colour of their teeth by eight shades or more with Zoom technology.
Firstly the gel formula is applied to the patient’s teeth in a thin layer, making sure none of it is touching the gums or lips, and then the Zoom curing lamp is used to activate the whitening agents contained in the gel. Only the blue light will intensify the effect of the gel, an ordinary light bulb won’t break down the staining at all. The process is usually complete after fifteen to twenty minutes, after which a further two applications are made, one after the other. When the patient has undergone three treatments – this takes less than an hour in most cases – there should immediate results. For maximum effect, patients should return to the surgery for additional treatment – especially if they had heavily stained teeth to begin with.
Is Zoom Whitening Suitable For Everyone?
It’s a good idea to discuss any procedures you might be considering with our teeth whitening dentist, but most people will be able to undergo the treatment without any problems. If you have dentures, veneers or crowns fitted among your normal teeth, please be aware that zoom whitening can not whiten artificial teeth or teeth that have been root filled.
The only people who should not have the treatment are pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding, and people who are on certain types of medication or those patients who have allergies to hydrogen peroxide.
How Long Will Zoom Whitening Results Last?
With a good oral hygiene routine, the effects of Zoom whitening can last a few years. Home teeth whitening top-ups can be carried out to maintain the white shade of teeth for a long time.
