How Zoom Whitening Works



Our dental office receives many requests for information about ways to whiten teeth. Whitening is one of our most popular cosmetic procedures, and we are proud to offer our patients the Zoom whitening treatment.

Zoom is widely considered the top of the line for in-office whitening systems. Our cosmetic dentist in Huntington Beach is extensively trained in using Zoom and recommends it to patients on a regular basis.

Zoom whitening treatments work quickly and give brilliant results. The Zoom whitening treatment uses a special whitening gel that is 25 percent hydrogen peroxide. This is a much higher concentration than other teeth whitening products. Other whiteners also use Carbamide Peroxide. This works less efficiently than hydrogen peroxide and can take more than 30 minutes to penetrate your tooth enamel. In addition to the whitener, Zoom also uses a special blue light on your teeth after the application of the whitening solution. The blue light increases the action of the whitening gel creating enhanced whitening.

Using the blue light also helps the whitening solution penetrate your tooth enamel to clean thoroughly. The whitening takes place deep within your teeth and actually whitens your teeth from the inside out. Because Zoom does more than remove surface stains, the treatment gives better results which are long-lasting.

Patients appreciate the fact that Zoom takes about one hour in our office, and during the hour their teeth can become up to eight shades whiter. Zoom also causes less sensitivity for patients. This can occasionally be a problem for patients who receive other types of in-office whitening. Our dentist also places a special gel barrier on your gums before applying the whitening solution. The barrier prevents the whitening gel from accidentally seeping onto your gums and discoloring them.
