Dr. Zarghouni will conduct a thorough diagnosis of the mouth to check for various factors that could affect your eligibility for the procedure. Some of them are the presence of cavities, restorations, hypersensitive or extremely weak teeth, receding gum line, etc. If he confirms that it is safe for you to have Zoom whitening done, we will place a rubber dam on the teeth to protect the gums from the whitening gel. The gel will be applied to the teeth and spread evenly, after which it will be allowed to stay for a few minutes.
During this time, the gel will liberate oxygen molecules when activated by an activating light. These molecules penetrate the porous surface of the enamel and bleach the staining particles, thereby gradually making the teeth look whiter. The process will be repeated if you have severely stained teeth that require more than a single round of whitening.
