Many people consider teeth whitening as a way to change the appearance of their smile. At Hampstead Dental, we can assess whether this treatment is suitable for you, taking into account your oral health and individual circumstances. Depending on your needs, whitening can be provided in the clinic under professional supervision, or at home using materials and guidance supplied by our team.

Zoom whitening is a professional teeth whitening procedure performed in the clinic under the supervision of a dentist. It involves applying a hydrogen peroxide–based whitening gel to the teeth, which is then activated using a specialised LED light. This process is designed to reduce certain types of discolouration that may occur on the enamel or dentin.

Tooth discolouration can arise for a number of reasons, including dietary habits (such as coffee, tea, red wine, or cola), smoking, ageing, or other factors. The outcome of whitening treatment can vary for each individual and depends on the cause and extent of discolouration, as well as the overall condition of the teeth and gums.

Prior to whitening, a routine dental examination and professional clean are often recommended to support oral health and address surface stains. Your dentist may also suggest follow-up reviews or maintenance visits over time to monitor results and provide ongoing guidance.

Zoom In-Chair Whitening Procedure

• A protective barrier is placed over the lips and gums to help shield soft tissues.

• A hydrogen peroxide–based whitening gel is then carefully applied to the teeth.

• The gel is activated with a specialised LED light in a series of short sessions.

• The process is typically repeated in multiple intervals within the same appointment, depending on individual circumstances and dentist recommendations.

• At the end of the procedure, a fluoride gel may be applied to the teeth to help reduce the risk of temporary sensitivity.
