You should schedule a dental checkup and a cleaning before you begin a whitening treatment to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks. Our dentist will recommend the one that's best for you based on the level of staining to be treated, your predisposition to sensitivity, and how quickly you want results. If you’re a good candidate for zoom whitening, our Dentist will let the zoom tech begin your light-activated whitening treatment.
Our Zoom Tech will prep your teeth, gums and apply a special guard to your lips to protect them against the chemical whitening agents that will be used. The bleaching agents will be applied to your teeth and left in place for fifteen-minute increments and as the bleaching agent works, the zoom tech will shine a special UV light-activated on your teeth, which activates the bleaching agent and speeds up the whitening process. During the treatment you will relax and be given a notepad if you need to communicate, and you will be given a bell if you would like to pause the treatment.
Depending on the color of your teeth and sensitivity after the first round of bleaching, the zoom tech may repeat this process up to four 15 minute sessions, that is a total of 60 minutes. Once the final bleaching process is complete, the zoom tech will rinse the product off your teeth, and you'll be free to return home.
The Philips Zoom Whitening is a Light-Activated Whitening system. Light-activated technology for powerful whitening uses a proprietary LED light to accelerate whitening for maximum results in minimal time.
Your teeth should appear up to 10 shades whiter following treatment. Anyone who looks at you should notice the dramatic difference. However, these results are not permanent.
If you follow the tips given by our zoom tech, your smile should remain white and bright for at least a year, and often longer. When your teeth begin to yellow or develop stains again, you can schedule another whitening appointment with our cosmetic dentist.

Serious side effects after whitening procedures are very rare.If this happens to you, avoid hot or cold beverages, and use a sensitivity toothpaste until the problem clears up. You should be back to normal within a few weeks.
You'll need to take appropriate measures to keep your teeth white and bright for as long as possible after your professional whitening process.
If you have any of the following conditions, our dentist may recommend against a whitening procedure—or that you wait a few months to pursue treatment.
Teeth whitening can make your teeth a bit sensitive to heat, cold, and pressure in the weeks following treatment. Most patients find this side effect easy to manage, but if your teeth are already sensitive, the whitening procedure might result in more serious sensitivity that makes eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth uncomfortable. We recommend using sensitivity toothpaste or undergoing fluoride treatments to ease your sensitivity before pursuing whitening treatments a few months down the road.
Gum disease can cause pockets to form between your teeth and gums. If the chemicals in your whitening treatment work their way into the pockets, this can cause pain and sensitivity. We can work with you to help heal your gum disease, making teeth whitening a safer choice. Gum disease treatments may include deep cleaning, antibiotic rinses, and surgery to reduce the size of pockets.
If you have any cavities, it is not safe to apply whitening chemicals to your teeth. Thankfully, having cavities is filled is a quick and easy process, and once they are filled, your dentist should approve you as a candidate for teeth whitening.
If you have extensive dental restorations, such as crowns or bonding, we recommend against having your teeth professionally whitened. While the whitening treatments will not damage the crowns or bonding material, it will not change its color, either. If you have your teeth whitened, the crowns and bonding may become obvious in your mouth as they will be darker than your teeth.
The effects of teeth whitening on pregnancy and on lactating women have not been well evaluated, so we recommend that pregnant or nursing women wait until they are no longer pregnant or nursing to have their teeth whitened.
