Why does whitening affect natural teeth but not restorations?

Whitening gel acts on color molecules in natural enamel and dentine; it cannot change crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding.

How should your teeth and gums be prepared for whitening?

A dentist should examine the teeth and gums, record the starting shade, protect soft tissues when needed, and give product-specific wear and aftercare instructions.

When should you have an examination before using whitening gel?

Ask for an examination if you have decay, cracks, gum inflammation, exposed roots, or strong sensitivity before whitening.

What should you ask about the planned Zoom treatment protocol?

Ask which Zoom protocol and gel concentration are planned, how restorations will be handled, and what to do if sensitivity or gum irritation occurs.

Frequently asked questions

Can this be treated without identifying the cause?

Treatment depends on the examination finding, so symptom relief does not replace diagnosis.

What information helps at an appointment?

Note when the symptom began, what triggers it, recent dental work, and the medicines you use.
