What is Zoom Whitening?
Zoom is the #1 patient requested professional whitening brand that is used both locally and globally to lighten discoloured teeth. The Zoom Whitening procedure uses the Zoom Advanced Power Chairside Lamp to activate 25% carbamide peroxide whitening. As the carbamide peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin to bleach the stained substances, leaving the structure of the tooth unchanged. Zoom White Speed combines their unique blue LED technology and whitening formula to customize and accelerate your whitening experience for immediate results in just 1.5 hours! Only 1 appointment is needed and up to 8 shades lighter can be achieved during this time.
Not only is Zoom fast acting but it is also safe for your teeth and gums! This is the main reason why as a dental professional, we recommend Zoom over any other whitening product. Clinical studies have shown that whitening your teeth with carbamide peroxide under the supervision of a dental professional is safe for your teeth and gums. DayWhite tooth whitening gel is formulated with fluoride and amorphous calcium phosphate to help deliver superior enamel protection through out the whitening process. The procedure also consists of complete isolating of all gums, cheeks, tongue as well as areas of recession and abrasion to significantly lower the risk of developing tooth sensitivity.

Zoom Whitening
Complete isolation of gums and surrounding tissues to reduce sensitivity, irritation and burning. This also allows areas of recession, abrasion and erosion to be isolated instead of whitened as this can cause sensitivity if not completed.

Due to their lack of isolation, white strips expose your gums along with areas of recession and abrasion to concentrated carbamide peroxide which is what causes gum inflammation and burning sensation. Lack of isolation also makes it easier to swallow the carbamide peroxide versus having it be removed from your mouth for you as is done during your Zoom appointment.
Before Making Your Zoom Appointment
Zoom whitening is not intended to replace any dental visit but rather a cosmetic procedure to help you feel confident about your smile. It is recommended that you still complete a standard cleaning and exam before making your Zoom appointment, though it is not necessarily required. This will rid your teeth of any plaque or stain to ensure you see optimal results.
Reasons to Not Do Zoom Whitening…
- If you have active cavities in the front of your mouth.
- If you have active moderate-severe periodontal disease.
- If you are pregnant.
- If your current medical health is unstable.
- It is also important to remember that Zoom Whitening will not lighten artificial teeth, caps, crowns, veneers or porcelain, composite or other restorative materials. These materials, however, can be replaced if recommended by a Dentist to match your new, whiter smile.
