What is Zoom Whitening?

Many of our daily activities and routines have negative effects on our teeth. Foods like hard candies and pasta sauce, liquids such as coffee and energy drinks, and habits such as smoking all lead to yellowing and darkening of the teeth. Zoom whitening is a cosmetic treatment that can eliminate these extrinsic stains.

The process of getting Zoom whitening starts with a visit to our cosmetic dentist in North Hollywood. They will first be sure that there aren’t any dental or oral issues that need to be addressed, as whitening treatment can worsen some conditions. Then they will use a rubber blocker that will protect your gums, lips, and other soft tissues in the area. Next, our expert will apply the Zoom gel to the teeth. A special laser activates the peroxide in this gel. It will be turned on three times, for fifteen minutes at a time. The entire whitening appointment will take no longer than an hour.

Patients can see their teeth up to eight shades whiter than before. Be sure to avoid the substances listed above, as well as other staining foods and habits, to ensure your results last as long as possible.
