Philips Zoom refers to an in-office whitening system using peroxide gel, light or heat depending on the protocol, and professional gum protection.

In-office whitening uses peroxide gel on natural teeth after the dentist checks gums, enamel, decay, cracks, and restorations. The dentist controls gel contact and protects the gingiva.
