What is the direct answer?

Philips Zoom is an in-office whitening system using peroxide gel applied by a dental professional according to product instructions.

What does this question mean?

Peroxide breaks down stain molecules in enamel and dentine. It does not whiten crowns, veneers, fillings, or other restorations, so color matching should be planned.

What can you do next?

The dentist checks for decay, gum disease, cracks, exposed roots, and restorations, protects soft tissues, applies gel in controlled cycles, and gives aftercare instructions.

When should you seek dental care?

Ask for assessment before whitening with untreated sensitivity, decay, gum inflammation, pregnancy-related questions, or visible restorations. Report severe persistent pain.

What should you ask the dentist?

Ask which stains will respond, how restorations will compare, and what sensitivity plan and aftercare are appropriate.
