Philips zoom professional
Philips Zoom Professional refers to a professional tooth-whitening system using a controlled peroxide gel under dental supervision.
The short answer
Philips Zoom Professional is a dentist-provided whitening system that uses peroxide gel, with the dentist protecting soft tissues and controlling the treatment according to your teeth and sensitivity.
Why will restorations not change colour during whitening?
The system is designed for bleaching natural tooth structure, not changing the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding. The dentist first checks enamel, cavities, gum health, existing restorations, and the type of staining.
What happens during a professional whitening appointment?
During treatment, the clinician protects the gums, applies the formulated gel, and follows the system instructions for treatment intervals. You may receive aftercare guidance, sensitivity measures, and advice about foods or drinks that can stain while the shade settles.
When should whitening be assessed by the dental team?
Ask for an examination before treatment if you have tooth pain, untreated decay, gum bleeding, cracks, exposed roots, or strong sensitivity. Contact the dental team if irritation or pain persists after the session.
What should you ask about professional whitening results?
Ask whether the system suits your stain, what shade change is realistic, how restorations will compare, and how sensitivity will be controlled. Confirm what home instructions apply after treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Does Zoom whiten crowns?

Can Zoom cause sensitivity?
