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 coloured substance 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 some of the
Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 26% or more,
giving an average improvement of eight shades.
Q:
What does a patient experience during the Zoom!In - Office procedure?
A:
During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to
music, individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficult
undergoing the entire procedure.
Q:
How is exposure to the Zoom! light controlled?
A:
The Zoom! procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be
protected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to ensure any
exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is
required during the procedure. Light sensitive individuals, including those
undergoing PUVA therapy (Psoralen+UV Radiation) or other photochemotherapy, or
patients with melonama, should not undergo the Zoom! in-office procedure. Also,
patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over the counter,
prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary care physician prior
to the procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for Zoom! Chairside Whitening for
these reasons may be an excellent candidate for Zoom! Take-Home.

How long does Zoom! Chairside Whitening take?
A:
The complete procedure takes less than an hour. The procedure begins with
apreparation period followed as little as by 45 minutes of bleaching. (A
cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.)
Q:
Are there any side effects?
A:
Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The Zoom!
light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On
rare occasion, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after
the procedure, but always dissipate.
A Note of Assurance
Tooth whitening is a well established procedure in cosmetic dentistry. Hydrogen Peroxide,
the active agent in Zoom!, has been safely used for many years in the treatment of gums
and other oral soft tissue.
The whitening process is effective on most discolored teeth. Darker stains, such as those
caused by antibiotics are more difficult to whiten. The degree of whiteness will vary from
a patient to patient, depending on the structure of the teeth.
If you have any questions, please ask your dental professional. Maximize your smile using
the Zoom! Whitening System.
