How Zoom Whitening Works: In-Office
Philips Zoom teeth whitening is a dentist-directed whitening system with in-office and at-home options. For in-office whitening treatment, Zoom has two options:
- Zoom QuickPro: QuickPro is an in-office procedure that gives quick results. Once the mouth and gums are prepped, it only takes a few minutes to apply the whitening varnish to the teeth. The next step is an anti-sensitivity sealant applied over the varnish on each tooth. Thirty minutes later, all the patient has to do is brush away the whitening varnish with a toothbrush and water, completing the treatment. Results from a QuickPro application are up to four shades whiter, and the treatment can be followed up with a take-home kit if further whitening is desired.
- Zoom WhiteSpeed: Zoom WhiteSpeed is a light-activated whitening system with more dramatic results than QuickPro. For this whitening treatment, the dentist preps the mouth and gums to protect the soft tissue from the bleaching gel and the high-powered whitening light. Next, the WhiteSpeed solution is applied to the patient’s teeth and allowed to work for 15 minutes. Most WhiteSpeed whitening sessions go through three 15-minute cycles, but a fourth cycle is an option if the dentist feels it is warranted. Some patients may want to continue the whitening process with a Zoom take-home kit.
Our team works with each patient to determine their ideal shade of whiteness and to customize an in-office or take-home Zoom teeth whitening plan. Many patients begin the treatment in the office and then follow up at home.
“Results from a QuickPro application are up to four shades whiter, and the treatment can be followed up with a take-home kit if further whitening is desired.”
Advantages of Zoom Over Home Teeth Whitening
Deciding between at-home whitening versus professional whitening depends on a variety of factors. Home whitening kits are popular today, but professional whitening is much more effective, fast, and safe for patients. The biggest reason patients prefer professional whitening like Zoom is because of the quick results. Whitening kits from the drugstore or supermarket may not be as impressive as the results from Zoom whitening. Patients who want whiter teeth faster and with more dramatic results should consider professional teeth whitening.
Patients prefer Zoom because it is gentle enough for sensitive teeth and has the added supervision of the dental provider during application. Choosing a Zoom whitening dentist also helps make sure the patient's teeth and gums do not experience enamel or sensitivity issues. According to a study from the Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice, overaggressive tooth whitening at home may cause tooth sensitivity.
“Home whitening kits are popular today, but professional whitening is much more effective, fast, and safe for patients.”
Benefits of Zoom Teeth Whitening
Zoom teeth whitening can be done in the office, at home, or a combination of both. The procedure gives patients options to whiten their teeth in an effective way that they are comfortable with. Since the in-office procedure can be done in under an hour, it is easy for patients to work it into their busy schedules.
Patients have seen their teeth become up to eight shades whiter with only one session of zoom. In addition to the results, the zoom whitening system gives patients the tools to continue or maintain their treatment at home. Also, Zoom is safe for the mouth, and patients report little or no discomfort.
“Because the procedure can be done in under an hour, it is easy for patients to work it into their busy schedules.”

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 Vatan Dental Group 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.
