PHILIPS Zoom is a teeth whitening machine and technique which is one of the most widely used whitening systems throughout the world to lighten the discoloration of enamel and dentin. It is a simple, non-invasive procedure that usually takes between 45 minutes to an hour.
The process combines a special lamp with a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel. Using both, the dentist will bleach each tooth and produce a brighter smile by the end of the treatment.
A high concentration of hydrogen peroxide is used in the gel that covers your teeth. When the peroxide comes into contact with the intense light emitted from the lamp, it breaks down. Then it dissolves a thin layer over top of the enamel and releases oxygen into the teeth. The oxygen then helps to flush out and get rid of tooth discoloration that has set in.
Think of it like you’re giving your teeth a chemical bath. As an added bonus, Zoom whitening does not affect the physical structures of your teeth at all. This low-risk procedure is one of the best teeth whitening options out there.
Dark staining substances should be avoided because this is when your teeth are most susceptible to absorbing stains. Anything that can stain a white shirt can stain your teeth. Please avoid these items for the time you are bleaching + one additional week.
