Philips zoom in office

In-office Philips Zoom is dentist-supervised peroxide whitening that lightens natural tooth colour after an examination.

The treatment acts on stains within enamel and dentin through oxidation, while fillings, crowns, veneers, and bonding do not whiten. The result depends on the starting shade, the type of discoloration, and the condition of the teeth and gums.

A dentist first checks for cavities, cracked enamel, leaking restorations, gum inflammation, and sensitivity before selecting gel strength and isolation. After treatment, follow the clinic's instructions, brush gently with fluoride toothpaste, and report persistent sensitivity rather than repeating applications yourself.

Arrange an examination before whitening if you have tooth pain, untreated decay, gum bleeding, exposed roots, or a restoration whose colour you need to match. Seek prompt care for swelling, severe pain, or a chemical burn to the gum.

Ask which stains are present, whether any restorations will remain unchanged, what peroxide system and gum protection will be used, and how sensitivity will be managed. Also ask whether a custom home-tray phase would better maintain the shade.
