Phillips Zoom whitening is a popular teeth whitening method that effectively lightens tooth discoloration caused by factors like coffee, smoking, and aging, using a 25% hydrogen peroxide gel activated by a special lamp. The in-office procedure takes less than an hour and usually results in teeth being two to three shades lighter. Proper pre-treatment preparation and aftercare, including sensitivity management, are essential for optimal results.

2. Are you thinking about getting your teeth whitened?
Maybe you’re a big coffee drinker and, over time, your
teeth have become stained.
Perhaps you recently quit smoking and want to whiten
your teeth as part of your fresh start.
Whatever your reasons are, you may want to consider
Zoom whitening.
Zoom whitening is a popular method of teeth
whitening because it takes very little time to work and is
effective for most people.

3. Zoom is a bleaching process widely used throughout the
country and around the world to lighten discoloration of
enamel and dentin.
Tooth discoloration may result from drinking coffee, tea,
cola and red wine; or from smoking. The aging process also
can stain and darken your teeth.
The Zoom in-office tooth whitening procedure uses the
Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp – said to accelerate
the bleaching process – to activate the 25 percent hydrogen
peroxide whitening.

4. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen
enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained
substances, leaving the structure of the tooth
unchanged.

5. The Zoom Procedure
The complete procedure takes less than an hour, but a
regular teeth cleaning is recommended prior to the
actual Zoom teeth whitening session.
The results of Zoom whitening depend on the existing
color of your teeth, which will affect the level and
duration of my treatment recommendation.
Zoom whitening typically results in teeth that are two to
three levels lighter than before the treatment, a
significant, positive change for most patients.
