How does Zoom professional tooth whitening work?
Zoom whitening is professional tooth bleaching using a peroxide gel, often activated by a dental light after the teeth and gums are assessed.
Which teeth and restorations respond to whitening?
The gel acts mainly on stains within enamel and dentin; fillings, crowns, veneers, and other restorations do not bleach like natural teeth.
What should be checked before starting Zoom whitening?
Have the dentist check cavities, cracks, gum condition, existing restorations, and sensitivity before bleaching; follow the supplied gel and exposure instructions.
When should you contact the dental team after whitening?
Pause treatment and contact the dental team for marked sensitivity, gum burning, swelling, or pain that does not settle after the procedure.
Will your stains respond and restorations need matching?
Which stains are likely to respond, and will my restorations need separate colour-matching or replacement?
Frequently asked questions
Can this be diagnosed from a description alone?
A description helps identify possibilities, but examination and sometimes dental imaging are needed to distinguish them.
What should I avoid before the appointment?
Avoid squeezing, scraping, hard brushing, or changing prescribed dental appliances without clinical instructions.
