What to Expect from Zoom Whitening

Zoom Whitening is a popular in-office treatment that brightens your smile in just one visit. Knowing what to expect can help you feel more comfortable with the process.

Before the Procedure

Initial Consultation

Your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if Zoom Whitening is suitable for you. Any existing dental issues need to be addressed first.

Pre-Treatment Preparation – Your teeth will be cleaned to ensure the whitening gel can penetrate effectively. The current shade of your teeth will be recorded for comparison.

During the Procedure

Whitening Gel Application – The procedure takes about an hour. Your dentist will protect your gums and lips and apply a hydrogen peroxide-based gel to your teeth.

Activation with Zoom Light – A special Zoom light activates the gel, breaking down stains in the enamel and dentin. The gel is applied in three 15-minute sessions.

Comfort Measures – Some sensitivity may occur, but your dentist will monitor you closely and can adjust the treatment to ensure comfort.

After the Procedure

Immediate Results – You’ll notice an immediate improvement in your teeth’s whiteness. Your dentist will compare the final shade to your initial color.

Post-Treatment Care – Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours, use a whitening toothpaste, and maintain good oral hygiene.

Managing Sensitivity – Some sensitivity is normal and should subside in a few days. Sensitivity toothpaste can help ease discomfort.

Conclusion

oom Whitening quickly and effectively brightens your smile. Understanding the process helps ensure a smooth experience. For any concerns, consult your dentist and enjoy your dazzling new smile.
