Zoom whitening, a newer professional whitening option offered by our cosmetic dentist in Los Angeles, uses a unique bleaching formula and activation process. Here is more about this treatment, its benefits and how it whitens teeth.
How It Works on Teeth
Zoom whitening gel contains carbamide peroxide, a stronger bleaching component compared to those found in other formulas. The process includes up to three rounds of gel application and light activation in a single one-hour appointment. Although Zoom whitening can turn teeth up to 10 shades whiter in one session, patients can schedule additional sessions if they want to whiten their teeth further.
What Zoom Can Whiten
Like other professional whitening options, Zoom whitening is designed to address discoloration that affects the surfaces of teeth. This include stains caused by soda, red wine, coffee and smoking. When tooth discoloration occurs due to internal tooth decay, our dentist may recommend veneers, Lumineers or crowns instead.
As a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment, Zoom whitening is available to most patients who have good oral and overall health. However, neither children nor pregnant or breastfeeding women can receive Zoom whitening. For more information about how Zoom works and who is a candidate, patients can contact our expert in Zoom whitening in Los Angeles to schedule a consultation.
