Philips teeth whitening zoom
Philips Zoom is a professional whitening system using peroxide gel, with the plan chosen after checking teeth, gums, and restorations.
The short answer
The gel acts on stain molecules in natural enamel and dentin. The clinician protects the gums and controls application, while crowns, veneers, and fillings keep their existing shade.
How should you manage whitening and restorations?
Have tooth color and restorations assessed first, then follow instructions about gel contact, food, drink, and sensitivity care.
When does whitening irritation need dental review?
See a dentist for persistent sensitivity, gum irritation, uneven whitening, or a dark single tooth.
What should you ask about the whitening protocol?
Ask which protocol is proposed, how the gums will be protected, and how restorations will be handled.
Frequently asked questions
Can tooth discolouration have more than one cause?
Yes. Similar symptoms can arise from different dental tissues, so an examination separates them.
What should I avoid?
Avoid caustic home remedies and stop any product that causes marked pain or soft-tissue irritation.
