Question and answer

Zoom white teeth whitening

Zoom whitening is in-office bleaching with peroxide gel applied to natural teeth while the gums and lips are protected.

The short answer

Peroxide moves through enamel and dentine and breaks down stain molecules. It does not change the shade of fillings, crowns, veneers, or other restorations.

What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

Have decay, cracks, gum inflammation, and exposed roots checked first. Follow sensitivity advice and the clinic's instructions about foods and drinks after treatment.

What can you do next?

Seek review for severe or prolonged sensitivity, gum burns, swelling, or pain. Whitening may need to wait until oral disease is treated.

When should you seek dental care?

Ask which teeth can whiten, how restorations will match, and how gel strength, exposure intervals, and sensitivity prevention will be managed.
