Zoom! teeth whitening can brighten your teeth in less than an hour with an in-office treatment. Zoom! take-home teeth whitening kits will whiten your teeth within a few weeks. All Zoom! treatments use a specially formulated hydrogen peroxide whitening agent. If you opt for in-office whitening, your gums and lips will be protected before applying the dental-grade whitening agent. Then a special LED light will be shined on the teeth for about 15 minutes. You’ll repeat this cycle several times to reveal a whiter smile.

If you opt for at-home whitening kits, you’ll receive a complete kit that contains whitening gel and trays that you’ll wear on your teeth at your convenience.  No light is required if you opt for the at-home whitening kit. Options for take-home whitening kits are trays you wear during the day or trays you wear while sleeping.

All Zoom! whitening treatments work by breaking up stains on the teeth to reveal a brighter, whiter smile. 

The primary benefit of in-office or dental-grade take-home whitening kits is a brighter smile. But, this is also a very affordable cosmetic treatment that works quickly.  Results typically last 6-12+ months and can be repeated. Teeth-whitening is a non-invasive way to upgrade your smile.  Brighter, whiter teeth can give you a self-confidence boost, and make you eager to show off your beautiful grin. 

Many people are excellent candidates for Zoom! teeth whitening. However, it won’t work for everyone. Teeth that have been treated with restorations will not respond to Zoom! or any other whitening treatment. So if you have visible crowns, dental bonds, fillings, or other restorative treatments on the visible teeth, Zoom! is not the best option. If you have fillings or dental crowns on molars in the back of your mouth, they will not lighten, but your teeth that show when you smile can become much brighter.

If you have extremely sensitive teeth, you should know that teeth whitening can increase sensitivity. 

If you have teeth that have become discolored due to certain medications, or death, trauma, or severe injury to a tooth, resulting in a gray or brown tooth, it won’t respond to teeth whitening. Dental implants cannot be whitened. 

Dr. Lakhkar can discuss other potential treatments for improving the appearance of a brown or gray tooth. Cosmetic treatments to correct a brown or gray tooth may include a  dental crown, or dental veneers can be an excellent way to lighten teeth that are gray or brown.

The best candidates for Zoom! whitening are patients who have yellowed, stained teeth that do not have dental restorations. If you’re unsure if Zoom! is right for you, talk with your dentist.
