Can fitted trays and peroxide gel whiten natural teeth?
Yes. Philips Zoom DayWhite is a take-home tooth-whitening system that uses peroxide gel in fitted trays to lighten natural tooth colour.
Why is whitening different from a filling or diagnosis?
It is a peroxide whitening system, not a filling or a diagnosis. The gel passes into enamel and dentin and breaks down some coloured molecules.
What should you check before using whitening trays?
Use dentist-supplied trays as directed after checking cavities, gum irritation, and existing restorations. A dentist can plan the wear schedule and manage sensitivity.
Which whitening symptoms need dental advice?
Seek advice for strong sensitivity, gum burns, ulcers, or uneven colour. Crowns, veneers, and fillings do not whiten.
What should you ask about gel, trays, and restorations?
Ask which gel and tray design are prescribed, how long each wear period is, and whether existing restorations will match.
Frequently asked questions
Can tooth discolouration have more than one cause?
Yes. Examination helps distinguish the tooth, gum, restoration, or surrounding tissue involved.
What may the dentist do?
The dentist may inspect the mouth, test teeth and gums, and use imaging when the findings require it.
