Teeth Whitening FAQ's

What is ZOOM! tooth whitening?
ZOOM! is a bleaching process that lightens discolouration of enamel and dentin.

What causes tooth discolouration?
There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as tea, coffee, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discolouration.

Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost anyone. However, treatment may not be as effective for some as it is for others. Your dental professional can determine if you are a viable candidate for this procedure through a thorough oral exam, including shade assessment.

Do many people whiten their teeth?
More people than you might imagine. A bright sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The ZOOM! Chairside Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.

Is Whitening Safe?
Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, ZOOM! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

How long will results last?
By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily and occasional touch-ups with ZOOM! Weekender or Nite White Gel. There are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth looking their brightest. They are available only through your dental professional.
