How Zoom Whitening Works
Zoom teeth whitening uses several powerful ingredients to reduce staining and brighten smiles. It comes in a gel formula, made with hydrogen peroxide. This formula is much more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products. The dentist will coat the teeth with this gel to start the whitening session. Then, the dentist uses a special light to activate the gel and remove staining on the teeth. The typical treatment session takes just over an hour and includes a five-minute fluoride treatment. With Zoom, patients will see whiter teeth after only a few visits.
“This formula is much more powerful and effective than over-the-counter products.”

How To Prepare for Teeth Whitening
Preparing for Zoom whitening is fairly simple and easy. Our team recommends that patients start with a recent dental exam and cleaning. Before coming into the office on the day of the procedure, patients should brush and floss. It may also be more comfortable to apply lip balm before the treatments so the lips do not get too dry during the whitening process. Other than that, there are no special things to do before treatment. Patients should be able to drive themselves to and from the procedure as no anesthesia is required.

What To Expect During Treatment
Before starting the treatment process, Our team will help patients understand what happens at each appointment. At the beginning, we will greet patients and bring them back to the treatment area. Here are the steps in the Zoom whitening process.
- Setup: The dental provider will take pictures of the current shade of teeth and give information on what type of results to expect. Next, the dentist places cheek retractors into the mouth to pull back the lips and expose the teeth for the whitening treatment.
- Gel Application: The next part of the process involves the proprietary Zoom gel. The dentist coats the patient's teeth with the whitening gel and uses Zoom light to activate the gel. Return Treatment: For optimal results, patients should return for additional whitening treatments. Many patients complete about three treatments.
- Return Treatment: For optimal results, patients should return for additional whitening treatments. Many patients complete about three treatments.
- After Whitening: Patients may get a home touch-up whitening kit to help maintain the results. When using the home trays, coat the tray with whitening gel and wear on the teeth for about two hours. Patients should store the touch-up kit in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zoom Teeth Whitening
Q. How much does Zoom teeth whitening cost?
A. Dentist-directed tooth whitening varies in cost. In general, higher-level and quicker results cost more upfront than lower-level and slower results. For example, in-office treatments may cost more than the take-home options but work much faster and more effectively.
Q. After treatment, how often will I need touch-ups from a Zoom whitening dentist?
A. A clinical study published in The Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that the Zoom system, which contains added amorphous calcium phosphate, showed better retention of whiteness six months after treatment than a similar whitening system without said ACP. Therefore, patients may be able to go longer between touch-ups with Zoom than with other whitening treatments. The dentist can evaluate the need for touch-ups at the patient's biannual dental exams.
Q. Can Zoom really whiten my teeth eight shades?
A. Eight shades is a dramatic difference, but it is attainable for some people. According to a study published in The Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, study subjects who used the Zoom Ultimate protocol system (WhiteSpeed in-office treatment plus three weeks of Zoom NiteWhite at-home whitening trays) achieved an average of 11.1 shades whiter. Individual results depend on factors such as the type of staining present, the current tooth shade, and the patient's oral hygiene habits. A personal consultation with Astoria City Dental can help you get an idea of how much whitening is realistic.
Q. Can I use Zoom teeth whitening if I have sensitive teeth?
A. Although most people do not experience sensitivity when using the Zoom teeth whitening system, a few do. People who already have sensitive teeth should talk to the dentist about any concerns ahead of time. They may recommend using special toothpaste twice a day for two weeks before the procedure.
Q. Can anyone get Zoom teeth whitening?
A. Zoom is not for children under the age of 14. Pregnant or lactating women should not undergo a Zoom whitening procedure. Also, people with gum disease, certain types of dental restorations, or other health issues may not be good candidates for Zoom whitening. Patients should discuss any medication or medical condition that might affect the outcome of the procedure.
Q. How should patients store Zoom whitening products at home?
A. Zoom whitening gel is simple and easy to store at home. It does not need to be refrigerated. Patients should keep the gel in a cool and dry place.
