It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that usually takes between 45 minutes to an hour.

The process combines a special lamp, referred to as a Zoom light or Zoom laser, with a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel. Using both, the dentist will bleach each tooth and produce a brighter smile by the end of the treatment.

A high concentration of hydrogen peroxide is used in the gel that covers your teeth. When the peroxide comes into contact with the intense light emitted from the lamp, it breaks down. Then it dissolves a thin layer over top of the enamel and releases oxygen into the teeth. The oxygen then helps to flush out and get rid of tooth discoloration that has set in.

Think of it like you're giving your teeth a chemical bath. As an added bonus, Zoom whitening does not affect the physical structures of your teeth at all. This low-risk procedure is of the best teeth whitening options out there.

More patients are looking for cosmetic dental treatments than ever before, and Zoom Whitening has become a popular choice. This light-activated whitening treatment is done in a series of four sessions under the light. The patient often takes home custom whitening trays and a bleaching solution as well. The procedure helps to remove tooth stains and discoloration, and the custom trays help to maintain the whiter teeth. The length of time that results last varies for each person; whitening will need to be done more frequently for coffee and wine drinkers.
