Zoom teeth whitening treatment is a safe, effective way for patients to get a brighter smile.
Zoom teeth whitening is a system created by Philips, a top brand in oral healthcare. The system is easy and provides fast results. No wonder it is the whitening system of choice for cosmetic dentists.
A lot of patients want to brighten their smile before a special event, such as:
However, the main reason why patients visit a Zoom whitening dentist is that they have noticed a change in the colour of their teeth. Their teeth are darker, and they notice that their teeth appear almost dingy in appearance. They do not feel like they are showing off a beautiful, bright, glistening smile. In fact, some of our patients are so embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth that they try to hide their smile altogether.
We want to help our patients feel proud of their smile, which is why we offer one of the top whitening treatment options: The Zoom teeth whitening treatment.
We are happy to say that there are multiple Zoom teeth whitening benefits. The reasons why we choose to use this brand:
It is safe:
The technique used protects the delicate gum tissue, whereas some other systems do not have a targeted delivery system. Therefore, the whitening gel can end up on the gum tissue and cause irritation. Additionally, patients tend to experience less tooth sensitivity with this product. If sensitivity occurs, there are other products we can use to reduce it.
Zoom is effective:
This whitening system can brighten a patient’s teeth up to eight shades in a single visit.
It does not take long:
A Zoom teeth whitening appointment takes about an hour from start to finish.
The Zoom whitening system is quite simple. The dentist will isolate the patient’s teeth and apply the whitening agent on them. Then, the whitening agent is exposed to a light that helps activate it and start the whitening process.
The light is used for approximately 15 minutes. During that time, the patient gets to sit back and relax. When their appointment is complete, they’ll be able to see a significant improvement in the brightness of their smile.
Patients often ask us about the effectiveness of a Zoom teeth whitening treatment. After they hear the benefits, they might follow up with these questions.
Zoom is made of a hydrogen peroxide gel that is light-activated. When exposed to the light, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down, allowing oxygen to enter the enamel. Any discoloration is eliminated, yet the structure of the tooth is unchanged. It is a safe process that will not damage the health of the teeth.
The results are long-lasting, though they are not permanent – simply because of the foods people eat and drink. Zoom does not prevent future stains.
Foods are the most common causes of tooth stains. Therefore, when people drink coffee, tea, wine, or soda, or eat berries and other colourful foods, the pigments can stain the teeth – even after a Zoom treatment. Patients who do their best to limit or avoid staining foods can go up to a year or longer between Zoom treatments.
Zoom only whitens the natural teeth. Any crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, bonding, or composite fillings will not change the shade if they’re exposed to the Zoom whitening gel.
Patients can whiten their teeth whenever it’s convenient for them.
However, if they have a special, upcoming event, it’s best to schedule a whitening treatment approximately three weeks beforehand.
If a patient has received a Zoom whitening treatment within the past year but feels they need a touch-up, we can help! With a short Zoom session (approximately 20 minutes in length), a patient’s tooth brightness can be restored to their original post-Zoom shade.
We are happy to announce that Daas Family & Cosmetic Dentistry has recently opened a second location. In addition to our Mississauga location, patients can now visit our clinic in Stoney Creek.
With two convenient locations to choose from, patients are more likely to schedule appointments for cleanings, Zoom teeth whitening treatment, and restorative work. It will be easier to keep those appointments, too! The result: More patients can achieve healthier, more beautiful teeth.
