The short answer
Zoom DayWhite is an at-home whitening system using a fitted tray and peroxide gel; the dentist determines whether it suits your teeth and gives product-specific instructions.
What kind of take-home treatment is DayWhite?
DayWhite is a take-home whitening treatment associated with the Philips Zoom system. The tray holds peroxide gel against natural tooth surfaces, where the active molecules break down some discoloring compounds; it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns, or veneers. A dentist checks for decay, cracks, gum inflammation, exposed dentine, and mismatched restorations before supplying or approving the tray. Use only the prescribed amount, keep gel off the gums, follow the product schedule, and report sensitivity rather than extending wear time yourself.
What should you check before using a DayWhite tray?
Seek dental advice before use if you have untreated pain, cavities, gum disease, pregnancy-related concerns, or extensive restorations. Stop and contact the dental team for persistent pain, marked sensitivity, or gum whitening or burning.
How can you tell whether your stains and tray suit treatment?
Ask whether your discoloration is suitable for peroxide whitening and whether the tray fits correctly. Ask how to store the gel, manage sensitivity, protect restorations, and decide when treatment is complete.
Frequently asked questions
Can DayWhite whiten a crown?
No. Whitening changes natural tooth structure, so a crown may need separate colour planning if it no longer matches.
What if the gel touches my gums?
Remove excess gel and follow the product instructions; ongoing burning, whitening of the tissue, or pain needs advice from the dental team.
