Zoom Whitening Before and After
Zoom whitening uses peroxide on eligible natural teeth, but results vary and crowns, fillings, and veneers do not whiten.
The short answer
Zoom whitening is a professional peroxide-based treatment for eligible natural teeth; the result varies, and crowns, fillings, and veneers do not whiten.
How is professional peroxide whitening carried out safely?
The dentist applies peroxide gel while protecting the gums and soft tissues; some systems use a lamp. Results depend on starting shade, stain type, enamel condition, and restorations.
What should be checked before professional whitening begins?
Have decay, leaking fillings, gum inflammation, and sensitivity assessed first. Follow aftercare instructions and use recommended sensitivity measures.
When should dental problems be assessed before whitening?
Seek an examination before whitening if you have decay, cracks, gum disease, or unexplained colour change. Contact the practice for persistent sensitivity or gum irritation.
What should you ask about stains and restorations before treatment?
Ask what caused the discoloration, whether restorations will mismatch, what shade change is realistic, and how gel, protection, sensitivity control, and maintenance work.
Frequently asked questions
Can home care replace an examination?
