Q: Do many people whiten their teeth?

A: More people than you might imagine. A bright sparkling smile can make a big difference for everyone. The Zoom! Chairside Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.

Q: Is whitening safe?

A: Yes. Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, Zoom! is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

Q: How long do the results last?

A: By following some simple post whitening care instructions, 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. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep
your teeth their brightest. They are available only through your
dental professional.


Q: How does the Zoom! In-office system, work?

A: 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! light aids
in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface
of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases
the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of eight shades*.
