ZOOM!® Is
The Number One Light Activated Whitening System
With Over 1.5 Million Smiles.
A Brighter, Whiter Smile in about an hour.
The Zoom!® In-Office Whitening System
will make your teeth dramatically whiter in less than
an hour.
The procedure is simple.
It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips
and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. The Zoom! clinician
then applies the proprietary Zoom! Whitening Gel, which
was designed to be used with a specially designed light.
The Zoom! light and gel work together to gently penetrate
your teeth, breaking up stains and discoloration. With
proper care, your smile will sparkle for years.
Zoom! is well established for its safety.
The whitening process is effective on most discolored
teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics,
are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness
will vary from patient to patient, depending on the structure
of the teeth.

your teeth will always be lighter than they were before.
To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing,
brushing twice daily, and occasional touch-ups with Zoom!
Weekender or Nite White Gel.

to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available
only through your dental professional.

How does the Zoom! In-Office system
work?
The Zoom! light activated whitening gel’s active ingredient
is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken
down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored
substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged.
The Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom!
gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of eight
shades*.
Back to top of FAQ
What does a patient experience
during the Zoom! In-Office Procedure?
During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television
or listen to music. Individuals with a strong gag reflex
or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure.
Back to top of FAQ
How is exposure to the Zoom!
Light Controlled?
The Zoom! Procedure requires that all soft tissue in and
around the mouth be protected. The clinician is required
to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or
tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is
required during the procedure.
Light sensitive individuals, including those undergoing
PUVA therapy (Psoralen+UV Radiation) or other photo chemotherapy,
or patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom!
In-Office procedure. Also, patients taking any light sensitive
drugs or substances, whether over the counter, prescription
or homeopathic, should consult their primary care physician
prior to the procedure.
Anyone not eligible for Zoom! Chairside Whitening may
be an excellent candidate for Zoom! Take-Home.
Back to top of FAQ
How long does Zoom! Chairside Whitening
take?
The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure
begins with a preparation period followed by as little
as 45 minutes of bleaching. (A cleaning is recommended
prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.)
Back to top of FAQ
Are there any side effects?
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients.
The Zoom! light generates minimal heat, which is the usual
source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling
sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure,
but always dissipate.
