Zoom Teeth Whitening

A Tale Of Two Options...

First of all, Zoom Teeth Whitening systems can ONLY be accessed through a dentist. It is also the most sought after "in office" teeth whitening system boasting

Zoom! offers two types of whiting systems.

One is is Zoom! In Office Whitening System and will deliver in 45 minutes (after a short preparation session that protects your soft tissue, gume tec.).   A hydrogen peroxide based whitening gel is activated by a special light, ideally the Zoom! Lamp which apparently is the most effective light source in combination with the gel, giving an improvement on average of eight shades whiter.

The other is a take home system that uses a custom tray and bleach that will achieve, on average, teeth that are six shades later over three nights. It is called Zoom! Take-Home Whitening System.

Here is a quick synopsis of some frequently asked questions about Zoom Teeth Whitening taken from their brochure (found in my dental office):

Question #1 What is it...?
Answer:...A bleaching process that lightens tooth discoloration of enamel(first layer of tooth) and dentin (under enamel).

Question #2 What causes discoloration...?
Answer:...a number of things ranging from aging, foods such as coffee, red wine, berries, and antibiotics...even excessive fluoride.

Question #3 Who can benefit from this process...?
Answer: Almost anyone but results will vary from person to person. Your dentist will help you determine whether you would benefit.

Question #4 Is it safe...?
Answer: Yes, according to clinical studies and under the supervision of a dentist. (although not recommended for children 13 and under or pregnant women).

Question #5 How long do the results last...?
Answer: If you follow post care instructions well, they will always stay lighter than they started, even better if you use their touch up products available through your dentist.

Question #6 How does  the "in office" system  work...?
Answer: The whitening gel's active ingredient hydrogen peroxide is activated by a special "Zoom!" light and the gel is able to penetrate and bleach the enamel and dentin.

Question #7 What does the patient experience during the "in office" session...?
 Answer:  Generally, enjoy watching television or listening to music.

Question #8 How is the light controlled..?
Answer: The entire session is closely monitored to ensure tissue around mouth as well as gums, remain protected, and protective glasses are worn. In the case of light sensitive individuals because of treatment or medication, should not have the "in office" treatment. Those individuals may still potentially benefit from the take home system.

Question #9 How long is the "in office" session...?
Answer: Less than an hour including the 45 minutes of bleaching.

Question #10 Any side effects...?
Answer: Some patients experience sensitivity to the minimal heat generated from the light.

This information comes direct from its maker, Discus Dental.  For more detailed information talk to your dentist or visit the Zoom! website.

Both Zoom teeth whitening systems utilize proprietary bleach formulations to achieve those dramatic white results. They will also come at a hefty price tag. The Zoom teeth whitening used in home, will cost between $500-$1000 and the in office laser treatment will cost somewhere in the ball park of $1000-$1500 ( prices will vary).

Last word on Zoom! teeth whitening... Yes, very impressive but if the  system or price tag has you discouraged, there are many more options (just not as fast or dramatic). 

One such bleaching system worth your consideration was developed by Dr. Katz (the famous bad breath dentist from California).  He has made his product very safe, it is still very effective, has a great price tag and meets a number of important standards.  This product is called Therabrite and offers a 30 Day 100% money back guarantee.  Check it out!
