Philips zoom laser teeth whitening

Philips Zoom is a professional whitening system that uses a peroxide gel, with a lamp used in some protocols to support the treatment of natural teeth.

The whitening gel contains peroxide that diffuses through enamel and dentine and breaks down stain molecules. The lamp is not the bleaching agent itself, and the dentist must protect the gingiva, assess existing restorations, and choose exposure based on the patient’s teeth and soft tissues.

The clinical process commonly includes examination, shade recording, gum isolation, gel application, controlled treatment intervals, rinsing, and post-treatment advice. Ask whether an in-office session, custom trays, or a combination is suitable after cavities and gum inflammation are addressed.

Do not begin treatment over untreated decay, cracked teeth, active gum inflammation, or irritated oral tissues. Contact the treating clinic if sensitivity is severe, gum tissue turns white and sore, or the colour change is uneven.

Ask which Philips Zoom protocol and gel concentration will be used, how the gums will be isolated, whether your restorations will match afterward, and what to do if sensitivity occurs.
