Zoom from Philips is one of the famous brands in teeth whitening. They offer both “at home bleach” and “in office bleach”. The home bleaching material are 6% hydrogen peroxide and are chemically activated at the time of use. The office bleaching material are 25% and need a special UV light to activate them. Due to high concentration of office whitening material a dentist needs to insulate cheek, lips and gum to prevent any burning and damage.
Usually in Zoom office whitening bleaching material will be applied to the teeth after proper insulation and UV light will be placed on teeth for 15min. After that bleaching material will be removed from teeth and the process will be repeated again. This will happen for 3 or 4 times depending on patient, teeth and sensitivity caused by bleaching. After that a soothing gel will be applied to teeth and patient will be sent home with the same gel to use for couple of days to settle the sensitivity.
