What Is Zoom Teeth Whitening?

Zoom Whitening is a safe and effective system that virtually erases most teeth stains and discoloration, leaving you with a beautifully bright smile. During treatment, our innovative Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp will activate a professional-grade 25% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, accelerating your teeth-bleaching process and enhancing its effects.

As the hydrogen peroxide bleaching agent breaks down, oxygen enters your tooth enamel and dentin, lifting stubborn stains while leaving your tooth structure intact. The length of treatment will depend on your unique needs. In general, most patients require three gel applications with 15-minute Zoom light activation for a total of 45 minutes. Zoom teeth whitening can reveal a smile an average of eight shades brighter in just one office visit!

What If You'd Rather Whiten Your Teeth at Home?

If you prefer to brighten your teeth from the comfort of your home, we are happy to provide professional bleaching gel and custom whitening trays created from digital impressions of your teeth. You'll simply place the gel into your trays and wear them for a specified time. At-home whitening may take a week or two to deliver the level of whiteness you desire.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening is highly effective for most of our patients. In general, dull or yellowish teeth resulting from poor oral hygiene, dark-colored foods, or lifestyle habits such as smoking show the best results. On the other hand, gray or brown discoloration resulting from severe tooth damage, trauma, or the use of certain medications may not show the desired results.

Our experienced dentist will evaluate your type and level of staining and discoloration and help you determine if professional teeth whitening is right for you. If you are not a candidate, we may recommend an alternative cosmetic dentistry option, such as dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or dental crowns. We strive to deliver a beautiful smile you'll love.

What About Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening Products?

You can find countless over-the-counter teeth whitening products, including strips, trays, gels, and do-it-yourself kits. There are also whitening powders and toothpastes that contain abrasive ingredients designed to remove some surface stains.

While many over-the-counter whitening products claim they deliver dazzling results, none come close to the strength and effectiveness of professional teeth whitening treatments. Moreover, some products contain harsh chemicals or abrasives that can cause damage to tooth enamel and gums. For the best and safest whitening experience, we recommend teeth whitening under the care of an experienced dental professional.
