Tooth Whitening Frequently Asked Questions:-
What is Zoom Tooth Whitening?
Zoom is an effective and simple tooth whitening process which lightens teeth in a short period of time.
What does the process involve and how long will it take?
Following an initial assessment from a dentist as to suitability, the soft tissue of your mouth and gums will be protected. Protective glasses are worn and a whitening gel is then applied to your teeth. The gel is then activated by the Zoom laser light. The whitening gel will be washed away after each session and reapplied. The process will be repeated 4 times back to back, with each session lasting 15 minutes.
Is Zoom Tooth Whitening Safe?
Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dental professional is safe. Before undergoing treatment you will receive a thorough assessment to make sure you are suitable for treatment. Your procedure will be carefully monitored to ensure the gums are protected and that you are comfortable throughout. Protective eyewear is also provided during the procedure.
Can anyone have Zoom Tooth Whitening?
Yes, almost anyone. At tooth+ we will provide you with a free thorough oral examination and medical history check prior to your treatment to determine if you are suitable. We will also carry out a shade assessment. A clean and polish may be recommended prior to treatment. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom is not recommended for children under 18 years of age, pregnant women or mothers who are breastfeeding. Patients taking any light sensitive drugs or who are light sensitive should not have the treatment. The dentist will ask you about any medication you are taking during the initial assessment.
Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience some sensitivity during and after treatment. Sometimes minor tingling is experienced immediately after the procedure but this should disappear the day after treatment. At tooth+ if you are prone to sensitivity we will provide you with free sensitivity relief gel to take home with you.
Going Home
As well as the free sensitivity gel, we will also provide you with an after care sheet advising which food/drink is best avoided for 48 hours after treatment and a free follow up appointment will be made for you.
How effective is treatment and how long will it last?
With just a little bit of aftercare your teeth will always be whiter than they were before treatment. At tooth+ we recommend that you back up your Zoom tooth whitening with our home tooth whitening trays as often as you are advised by your dentist as part of your treatment plan. Currently the cost of these trays and initial gels are included free with your treatment. This will mean that you achieve and maintain your new white smile for much longer.
