Everyone wants to have a whiter, brighter smile – but like many, you may be concerned about the results and whether it’s suitable and safe for you. Our team can evaluate your needs and make recommendations depending on the outcome you desire. At Hampstead Dental we offer two options to suit your wishes for a white smile. You can choose to have a procedure done during a visit with us, or done in the convenience of your own home with our professional recommendations and materials.

Zoom whitening is a bleaching process that uses a form of light activation with Whitening Gel treatment to lighten discoloration of the enamel and dentin. Tooth discoloration can emerge as a result of excessive consumption of wine, tea, cola, or from smoking. This in-office whitening procedure makes use of a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel to dissolve and remove stains on your teeth and can give you instantaneously visible results. With the Zoom 3 Advanced Power LED whitening system, your teeth can be 2-6 shades lighter in just over an hour.

Any extrinsic staining may be eliminated prior to the Zoom whitening procedure with the help of routine check-ups and cleans. After 6 – 12 months, it’s a good idea to have a check-up and clean with a whitening assessment. This is optional but recommended.

The Zoom In-chair whitening procedure:

• A protective cover is put over your lips and gums to protect them.
• The Zoom hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel is then applied to your teeth and left in place for the next 15 minutes.
• A special light is used to activate this whitening gel.
• The gel is applied for three sessions of 15 minutes each (with light activation) for a total treatment time of 45 minutes until the desired shade is achieved.
• Immediately after this process, a fluoride paste gel is applied to the teeth to discourage post-whitening sensitivity.
