FAQs

Does zoom teeth whitening really work? ›

Using a special gel and a low-power UV light, Zoom can effectively remove stains and discoloration caused by coffee, red wine, smoking, and aging. The results are often immediate and dramatic, leaving you with a noticeably brighter and whiter smile.

Option 1: Philips Zoom DayWhite

DayWhite is perfect if you want to wear trays for as short a time as possible during the day. Available in various strengths, you wear trays for 30 to 90 minutes, for results in as little as 2 weeks.

The Zoom light and powerful whitening gel tend to dehydrate teeth. This means they look extremely white immediately after the treatment occurs. Then, as the teeth re-hydrate over the next several days and weeks, the whiteness does appear to fade.

What went wrong? The biggest thing which went wrong is your dentist doesn't know anything about cosmetic dentistry. while Zoom Whitening is an extraordinarily effective treatment for whitening stained teeth, it is not the correct treatment for uneven teeth.

Another factor that can contribute to yellow teeth after Zoom whitening is poor post-treatment care. After undergoing Zoom whitening, avoiding certain foods and drinks that can cause staining, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, is important.

With Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed, your smile can whiten up to 8 shades in 45 minutes. Not only do you get a whiter smile, your dental professional will follow up whitening with our post-treatment gel that's clinically proven to reduce sensitivity and help protect enamel.

Both treatments have shown great results if compared to at-home whitening services. It is better to get a treatment that is quick, effective, and performed under expert supervision. So, if you also want to get white, and bright teeth, get either a regular or Zoom!

You can absolutely brush your teeth after your whitening service. We recommend that you always use a soft bristle brush and gentle toothpaste. Some patients find success in using products meant for sensitive teeth after their whitening. You can also use a fluoride toothpaste to help cut down on any sensitivity.

Zoom teeth whitening results and aftercare

Avoid consuming colored food and drinks: For the first 48 hours after the procedure, avoid consuming colored food and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, tomato sauce, and berries. These items can stain your teeth and reduce the whitening effect.

A: Zoom whitening does not damage your gums. However, generally speaking, “temporary tooth sensitivity and gingival inflammation are the most common adverse effects” of teeth whitening treatments, reports the American Dental Association (ADA).

Why does zoom whitening hurt so much? ›

One of the most common side effects of Zoom teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity. Sensitivity is caused by the hydrogen peroxide gel penetrating the enamel and dentin of the teeth, reaching the nerve endings in the pulp. The sensitivity usually lasts for a few days after the treatment.

Take Home Whitening

3 Days after ZOOM whitening session in office, start the Whitening gels at home • Please make sure the custom tray is completely dry. Place a small amount of gel on each of the teeth in the custom tray. Use caution not to overload the tray.

These teeth may have a denser enamel layer or more pigmented dentin, making them more resistant to whitening treatments. Teeth with a thicker enamel layer tend to respond better to whitening methods because the enamel acts as a barrier, allowing the whitening agents to penetrate more effectively.

White Stains After Whitening Treatments. Noticing white spots on the surface of your teeth after a whitening treatment is caused by hypo-calcification. Teeth whitening does not cause white spots on your teeth; however, tooth whitening treatments can make already present spots more visible.

A lot of the time, the edges of your teeth respond more quickly to bleaching than the inner areas since the bleach can penetrate the enamel more rapidly. The center of your tooth has more enamel than the outside, so it takes longer to show results.

Zoom teeth whitening provides longer-lasting results. Your new smile will last up to 12 months without requiring touch-up treatments to maintain the brightness. However, you must avoid habits that lead to teeth staining and discoloration.

Generally, the entire Zoom WhiteSpeed costs approximately $500, while the Zoom QuickPro costs between $125 and $150. At-home treatments cost less than in-office options. However, they take longer and may not achieve perfect results.

Q: How often can Zoom whitening be done? A: It's not recommended that you do Zoom whitening treatments more than once a year. Depending on your health and teeth, however, you may be able to have touch-up Zoom treatments every six months.

Why bleaching kits won't work for you. If you have a problem with teeth that appear naturally yellow, no amount of bleaching will solve the problem. This is because bleaching kits, whitening toothpastes, and other home treatments for yellow teeth are only meant to bleach the enamel.
