Zoom! Bleaching
What is it?
Zoom! Professional Whitening System, is a type of process sometimes referred to as "Power Bleaching" or "In Office Bleaching." The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System uses a scientifically advanced procedure. It is safe, effective and fast, very fast. In just over an hour your teeth will become dramatically whiter. This Zoom! Chairside Whitening System is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results. The convenience of Zoom! in comparison to days of wearing trays or strips, makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The Zoom! In-Office Whitening system will make your teeth dramatically whiter in a little over an hour. The procedure is simple. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only the teeth exposed. The Zoom! assistant then applies the Zoom! Whitening Gel, which was designed to be used with a specially designed light. The Zoom! light and gel work together to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. With proper care your smile will sparkle for years.

Tooth whitening is a well established procedure in cosmetic dentistry. Hydrogen Peroxide, the active agent in Zoom!, has been safely used for many years in the treatment of gums and other oral soft tissue.

The whitening process is effective on most discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics, are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth.
