Zoom teeth whitening is an in-office bleaching procedure that uses peroxide gel and a dental light system to lighten natural tooth colour.
The short answer
Zoom teeth whitening is an in-office bleaching procedure that uses peroxide gel and a dental light system to lighten natural tooth colour. The timing and intensity depend on the tissue involved and the clinical cause.
Which dental restorations are unaffected by whitening?
The treatment acts on coloured molecules within enamel and dentine; it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns, veneers, or implants.
What should happen before professional teeth whitening?
For Zoom teeth whitening, start with a dental examination that identifies the tissue involved and the cause. Follow the recommended clinical plan, protect the area from further irritation, and record changes in pain, swelling, colour, or function.
When do persistent whitening-related concerns need dental care?
Arrange dental care when Zoom teeth whitening is persistent, worsening, repeatedly returning, or affecting eating, sleeping, or normal mouth opening. Seek prompt care for facial swelling, fever, uncontrolled bleeding, breathing difficulty, or trouble swallowing.
What should you ask about the cause and treatment options?
Ask what structure is causing the symptom, which examination or imaging is needed, what treatment options fit the finding, and how you should manage the area during recovery. Ask which changes should trigger an earlier review.
Frequently asked questions
Does Zoom whiten dental restorations?
No. Existing crowns, veneers, fillings, and implants keep their current shade, so colour matching should be discussed first.
Why can teeth feel sensitive afterward?
Bleaching can temporarily increase movement of fluid through dentine tubules, stimulating the tooth nerve.
