Zoom! Tooth Whitening System

Tooth discolouration is a common yet undesirable process caused by ageing, certain drinks containing caffeine, excessive smoking, red wine and exposure the antibiotic tetracycline      at a young age.

Zoom! tooth whitening is an effective and safe whitening method used to remove aesthetically unpleasant greyish or yellowish discolouration of the hard substance covering the teeth, called enamel. The procedure is very quick, with the full bleaching session taking around 45 minutes. As recommended, the dentist will usually start the procedure by performing a professional cleaning routine.

The Zoom! whitening gel used for the treatment is based on Hydrogen Peroxide, which is broken down using a special light during the process of whitening and produces oxygen, which affects the discoloured parts of the enamel without damaging the tooth.

If the patient maintains good dental health by flossing and brushing as well as visiting the dentist regularly, Zoom! is likely to last a lifetime. Moreover, there are professional dental care products that can be applied occasionally and aid in keeping the desired colour of the teeth.

Despite public concerns, researches have shown that tooth whitening is one of the safest dental care procedures. However, Zoom! (just like other whitening products) is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women and children younger than 13. Some patients may experience sensitive teeth or tingling during and after the Zoom! whitening procedure, but these effects are mild and temporary.

While most people are eligible for this treatment, it might be more effective for some patients than others, therefore it is advised to consult a dental care specialist before undergoing the procedure.
