What is the direct answer?
Zoom whitening is professional tooth bleaching using a peroxide gel, often activated by a dental light after the teeth and gums are assessed.
What does this question mean?
The gel acts mainly on stains within enamel and dentin; fillings, crowns, veneers, and other restorations do not bleach like natural teeth.
What can you do next?
Have the dentist check cavities, cracks, gum condition, existing restorations, and sensitivity before bleaching; follow the supplied gel and exposure instructions.
When should you seek dental care?
Pause treatment and contact the dental team for marked sensitivity, gum burning, swelling, or pain that does not settle after the procedure.
What should you ask the dentist?
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?

What should I avoid before the appointment?
