Zoom Teeth Whitening

What is teeth whitening?

It is a cosmetic treatment that lightens teeth that have darkened due to age, food, drinks (coffee, wine, tea), tobacco or certain lifestyle habits. With whitening you can regain a brighter, more even shade while keeping your enamel healthy, as long as it is performed under specialist supervision.

What types of whitening do we offer?

In-office Zoom Philips whitening

We apply a whitening gel, with barriers that protect the gums, which is activated by the LED light of the Zoom Philips Professional system. It is a single session of approximately one hour, divided into 3 to 4 cycles of 15 minutes, with the potential to lighten your teeth by several shades.

Custom take-home kits

We make custom-fitted trays and include a special gel. They are worn for about 25 minutes a day for one week. They are also an effective and convenient option for maintaining your results.

Both methods can be used separately or combined for better results.

What should you know before whitening your teeth?

Whitening only works on natural teeth: it does not lighten composite fillings, crowns, veneers or amalgams. If you have visible restorations on your front teeth, they will keep their original color and may look lighter or darker than the rest.

That is why it is often advisable to replace those restorations after whitening to match the new shade. We usually wait about 15 days for the color to stabilize.

Whitening is not suitable in every case. Before performing it, we evaluate:

• Active cavities or leaking restorations.
• Gum disease or exposed roots.
• Significant tooth sensitivity.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Patients under 18.

During your evaluation we review your case and let you know whether whitening is the best option, or whether it should be combined with tooth-colored fillings or veneers.

How should you care for your teeth after whitening?

• Avoid foods and drinks high in pigments (coffee, red wine, curry, etc.) in the days following treatment.
• Do not expose your teeth to extreme temperatures (very cold or very hot) right after treatment.
• Maintain good oral hygiene: frequent brushing, flossing and regular dental visits.
• Get touch-ups if needed to maintain your desired shade.
