Zoom Teeth Whitening – All You Need To Know

Many people with dull or stained teeth struggle to find a safe and effective teeth whitening solution.

Zoom teeth whitening can provide all that and more! With just a single visit to the dentist and a convenient home kit, you’ll have your smile and confidence back in no time.

In this blog, we'll dive into everything you need to know about zoom teeth whitening- from what it is, how it works to how it can benefit you.

What is Zoom teeth whitening?

Zoom teeth whitening is a professional teeth whitening treatment that can provide a healthy, white smile in about 70-90 mins at the dentist. 

It is a safe and effective treatment that has been used by over 10 million people worldwide. This tried and tested whitening procedure offers a range of options suitable for different lifestyles, including in-chair and take-home whitening products.

How does it work? 

The Zoom series of whitening products, such as Zoom WhiteSpeed, Zoom DayWhite, and Zoom NiteWhite, use light-activated technology to achieve better whitening results compared to many other whitening products. 

In less than 90 mins, your smile could become up to 8 shades whiter, as clinically proven. The light-activated whitening technology of Zoom has been shown to be 40% more effective than non-light-activated systems, making it a worthwhile investment.

What can I expect during a Zoom teeth whitening procedure?

The Zoom teeth whitening procedure is pretty easy for the patient. All you have to do is smile wide and let the dentist take care of everything else. 

Here’s a detailed, step-by-step guide on what to expect during your Zoom whitening experience.

Step 1: Initial cleaning (a week prior)

Your dentist begins by thoroughly cleaning your teeth to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains. This step is crucial because it allows your teeth to respond better to the whitening treatment, ensuring the best possible results. We then wait a week to give the gums time to heal before proceeding with the whitening treatment. 

Step 2: Preparation

To keep your lips and gums comfortable and safe, a protective cover is placed over your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. You’ll also receive protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the glare of the lamp used during the procedure. This step ensures that the whitening agent only touches your teeth, preventing any form of irritation to soft tissues.

Step 3: First gel application

The dentist carefully applies the Zoom whitening gel to your teeth. This powerful gel is the star of the show. Mostly consisting of peroxide material, it breaks down the compounds that cause stains and discoloration on your teeth.

Step 4: First light activation

The gel is activated using the Zoom WhiteSpeed Whitening LED Accelerator. The LED helps oxidation happen faster and blends the whitening gel well with the enamel. This takes about 15 minutes. 

Step 5: Repeating the process

The gel application and light activation process are repeated three times with breaks in between. The entire procedure will likely take between 70-90 minutes.

Step 6: Final gel application

Once the whitening is complete, an enamel protection gel is applied to your teeth to reduce sensitivity. You should be able to leave the clinic with not just a brighter smile but also a comfortable one.

Step 7: Post-treatment care

Before you leave, your dentist will provide you with a touch-up kit and personalised advice on which foods and drinks to avoid to maintain your bright smile. This is also a good time to get tips on how to keep your teeth looking their best.

Why choose Zoom teeth whitening?

There’s a saying that goes, “You’re never fully dressed without a smile” and who wouldn’t want to dress their best? Having a set of bright and clean teeth can give you a signature smile for people to remember and love. 

So why choose Zoom teeth whitening specifically? Here are seven reasons why this product is a favourite for so many. 

1. Tackles tough stains 

Zoom teeth whitening is highly effective at removing a variety of stains, whether they are caused by coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, or ageing. The advanced formula and light-activated technology work together to break down even the most stubborn stains. 

2. Convenient

For added convenience, Zoom offers a take-home kit that allows you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home. This option is perfect for those with busy schedules, providing professional-grade results at your convenience.

3. Simple and non-invasive

The Zoom teeth whitening procedure is straightforward and non-invasive. It does not damage the structure of your teeth or gums in the process.

4. Reduces discomfort

Zoom teeth whitening minimises discomfort by using amorphous calcium phosphate to reduce sensitivity for those with sensitive teeth. Administered by experienced dentists, it ensures a uniformly brighter smile while protecting your teeth and gums. Unlike some products, Zoom provides reliable and consistent results without damaging your teeth.

5. Safe for teeth

Zoom teeth whitening not only whitens your teeth, it also protects and strengthens your tooth enamel. The whitening gel includes ACP (amorphous calcium phosphate) which can strengthen the hardness of enamel by 25-37%. In addition, the treatment is carefully performed by an experienced dentist from Smile Place Dental so you’re in good hands. 

6. Quick Results

One of the major benefits of Zoom teeth whitening is how quickly it works. In just 2 sessions at the dentist, you can achieve a noticeably brighter smile. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to enhance their smile in a short amount of time, whether for a special event or simply to boost confidence.

7. Improved Smile and Confidence

We’ll say it again – a brighter, whiter smile can significantly enhance your overall appearance, making you feel more confident in social and professional situations. When you know your teeth look their best, you’re more likely to smile and laugh freely, leaving a positive impression on those around you. With Zoom teeth whitening, you can be confident that it will do its job to set you up for a great overall appearance in any situation. 

Conclusion

Zoom teeth whitening is a safe, quick, and effective treatment trusted by many dentists. 

In less than an hour, you’ll be able to get brighter and stronger teeth without worrying about discomfort or the inconvenience of follow up treatment. Not only that, you’ll walk away with a radiant smile and a whole new sense of confidence for any occasion.
