Philips zoom 16

Philips Zoom 16 refers to a peroxide whitening gel concentration used in a supervised whitening system, with comfort depending on individual teeth.

The number identifies the formulation or concentration used in a whitening protocol, while the clinical result also depends on stain type, exposure time, trays or barriers, and the condition of enamel and gums. Whitening is a chemical oxidation process involving peroxide.

Have the teeth and gums examined before treatment, then follow the prescribed wear time and aftercare. Use the supplied trays or protective barriers correctly, avoid spreading gel onto the gums, and report sensitivity instead of increasing exposure.

Arrange review for pain, persistent sensitivity, gum burning, uneven whitening, or a dark tooth with a history of trauma or root canal treatment. A dentist should assess active decay, cracks, leakage, or gum recession before whitening.

Ask whether this concentration suits your teeth, how gum protection will be provided, and how restorations will be handled. Ask what result is realistic for your stain and what to do if sensitivity develops.
