Am I a Candidate for Zoom! Teeth Whitening?
Most patients are ideal candidates for teeth whitening with the ZOOM! system. It may be perfect for you if you’ve noticed that your teeth aren’t as bright as they once were.
Many things contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola, and red wine, or smoking. ZOOM! tackles these stains for a brighter and more confident smile.
Some stains, however, cannot be treated with topical whitening. These types of stains are caused by certain medications, dental trauma, and age. Dr. Adler will determine if you are a good candidate for whitening and, if not, he will suggest alternative cosmetic treatments.
How Long Does It Take to Whiten Teeth with the ZOOM! System?
We perform ZOOM! whitening in three 15-minute cycles. We apply fresh gel each time to ensure the best results. You can plan for your entire appointment to last roughly an hour.
Most people achieve the results they desire after one session. In some cases, a series of milder treatments may be appropriate. The system offers different treatment settings to accommodate your unique needs.
Is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Safe?
Extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider teeth whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available.
A clinical study performed by Loma Linda University on the effect of teeth whitening gel on tooth enamel confirmed that ZOOM! in-office teeth whitening is safe. The study concluded that ZOOM! "does not adversely affect the microhardness and surface morphology of human enamel."
Another clinical study was conducted by Discus Dental to evaluate the efficacy of the ZOOM! Teeth Whitening System. Fifty subjects participated in a study that showed that the average shade change with the Zoom! system is 8 shades and that the ZOOM! system is "safe and effective for whitening teeth rapidly."
Is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Painful?
ZOOM! teeth whitening was created with your comfort in mind. The gentle system delivers superior enamel protection and reduces sensitivity.
Discus Dental found that minimal sensitivity was noted during their study mentioned above, with a significant number of patients reporting no sensitivity. Your appointment should be comfortable, and you should be able to resume your normal routine right away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get a dental cleaning before ZOOM! Whitening?
Yes, having your teeth professionally cleaned before a whitening session is highly recommended. A dental cleaning eliminates plaque and tartar buildup, which allows the whitening gel to make full contact with the tooth enamel for the best and most even results.
What happens during a ZOOM! Teeth Whitening appointment?
During your appointment, a protective barrier covers your gums and lips, exposing only the teeth. The whitening gel is put on your teeth and activated by a specialized light. We repeat this process in three or four 15-minute intervals, lasting about 45 minutes to an hour.
How can I make my ZOOM! results last longer?
Practice good oral hygiene habits daily, use whitening toothpaste, and limit stain-causing foods and beverages. You may also be given take-home whitening trays for occasional touch-ups, which help maintain your bright smile over time.
What should I avoid eating or drinking after ZOOM! Whitening?
For the first 24-48 hours after treatment, avoid foods and drinks known to stain, like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauce, and colas. These can stain your teeth when they are most porous. Instead, opt for lighter-colored foods like chicken, rice, and dairy products.
How is ZOOM! different from over-the-counter whitening products?
ZOOM! provides faster, more noticeable results because it uses a professional-strength whitening gel activated by a special LED light. Over-the-counter products can take several weeks to show any results and often can't match the depth or consistency of a professional in-office treatment.
Can I get teeth whitening if I have crowns or veneers?
While ZOOM! can whiten natural tooth enamel, it can not change the color of crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations. If your restorations are visible and you're considering whitening, consult your dentist to create a treatment plan that ensures a consistent smile.
How often should I get my teeth whitened?
Most patients can safely whiten their teeth every 12-18 months, depending on their habits and goals. Those who frequently consume stain-causing foods or drinks may benefit from occasional touch-ups or take-home trays. Dr. Adler can recommend a whitening schedule that's right for you.
