Zoom Whitening

During your visit to our office, the dentist can perform an oral examination of your teeth (including a shade assessment) and gums to find out if Zoom Whitening is right for you.

During a Zoom Whitening session, our staff will cover your lips and gums so that only your teeth are exposed to the hydrogen peroxide whitening gel. A special light is used to break down the hydrogen peroxide, causing oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin to help whiten the tooth. The gel stays on your teeth for about 15 minutes while the light is on.

There are usually three of these 15-minute sessions, which means you will have a total treatment time of less than an hour. After these sessions, a sensitivity-reducing fluoride paste-gel is put on your teeth.

Teeth Whitening Continues at Home

Before you go home, our dentist will give you a home touch-up kit that comes with whitening trays that are designed specifically for your teeth. Our dentist will give you instructions on how to use the home kit.

Our dentist may also advise you to avoid certain foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. Of course, smoking is not good for your teeth or the rest of your body.

You will also need to practice good oral hygiene, brushing twice a day and flossing once a day, to help maintain your new whitened teeth.

Zoom Whitening is not recommended for kids younger than 13 years of age, pregnant women or lactating women.
