What Is Zoom® Teeth Whitening?

ZOOM® Teeth Whitening is a professional treatment designed to whiten teeth quickly and safely. Using a combination of a powerful whitening gel and a specialized LED light, ZOOM® breaks down tough stains caused by:

• Coffee, tea, and red wine
• Tobacco use
• Aging and enamel wear
• Certain foods and beverages

In just one visit, ZOOM® can lighten teeth by up to 8 shades, more than most over-the-counter products achieve.

Benefits of Zoom® Teeth Whitening

Choosing ZOOM® Teeth Whitening offers several advantages:

Unlike at-home treatments that can take weeks, ZOOM® provides noticeable whitening in just one appointment, making it perfect for special occasions or last-minute enhancements.

With proper care, the results of your ZOOM® whitening can last for months. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding stain-causing foods will help preserve your brighter smile.

Our team tailors the whitening process to your needs, with steps taken to limit sensitivity.

As a professional treatment, ZOOM® is safer and more effective than DIY methods. Our trained team ensures the procedure is comfortable and controlled for the best possible outcome.

The Zoom® Whitening Process

At Dental Art Clinic, your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities. Here’s what you can expect during your ZOOM® whitening session:

1. Consultation and Assessment

   We begin with an initial consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate for ZOOM® Teeth Whitening. During this visit, we’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss your whitening goals.

2. Pre-Treatment Cleaning

   Before the whitening begins, we may recommend a professional cleaning to ensure your teeth are free of plaque and ready for optimal results.

3. Whitening Treatment

   • A protective shield is applied to your lips and gums to safeguard them during the procedure.
   • The ZOOM® whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a specialized LED light.
   • The process is repeated in 15-minute intervals, typically for a total of three to four cycles.

4. Post-Treatment Care

   Once the session is complete, we’ll provide guidance on how to care for your teeth to maintain your new, brighter smile.

Is Zoom® Whitening Right for You?

ZOOM® Teeth Whitening is suitable for most adults looking to enhance their smile. However, it may not be ideal if you:

• Have significant tooth decay, gum disease, or other untreated oral health issues.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

During your consultation, our team will assess your dental health and recommend the best whitening options for your unique needs.

FAQs About Zoom® Teeth Whitening

ZOOM® is designed to be comfortable, but some patients may experience mild sensitivity during or after treatment. This is temporary and usually resolves within a day or two.

The entire process takes about 60 to 90 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy patients.

Most patients see an improvement of up to 8 shades, though results vary depending on the level of staining and enamel condition.

For most patients, ZOOM® whitening is needed only once a year. Touch-ups can be scheduled as necessary to maintain your desired shade.

Why teeth discolour

Staining falls into two broad kinds. Extrinsic staining sits on the enamel surface and comes from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Intrinsic staining sits within the tooth and comes from ageing, some medications taken while teeth were forming, or trauma to a particular tooth.

Whitening works well on the first kind and variably on the second, which is why an examination first matters. It establishes what is actually causing the colour you want to change.

Before whitening

Whitening is done on a healthy mouth. Untreated decay or gum inflammation is dealt with first, because the gel reaching exposed dentine or inflamed gum is what causes most of the discomfort people report. A cleaning beforehand removes surface staining, which sometimes turns out to be most of what was bothering you.

Crowns, veneers and white fillings do not whiten. If you have any at the front of your mouth, whitening the natural teeth around them will change how well they match, and they may need replacing afterwards to blend in. Worth knowing before you start, not after.

Managing sensitivity

• Sensitivity during and after whitening is common and temporary, usually short sharp twinges rather than constant ache, settling within a day or two.
• A desensitising toothpaste with potassium nitrate, started a couple of weeks before, reduces it noticeably.
• Avoid very hot and very cold food and drink for the first day.
• If you are using take-home trays, shorter sessions or a night off between them helps more than pushing through.
• Tell us if it is severe. There are steps we can take, and there is no benefit to enduring it.

Keeping the result

Whitening is not permanent. How long it lasts depends mostly on what you drink and whether you smoke, heavy coffee or tea drinkers see colour return sooner. Rinsing with water after staining drinks, and using a straw for iced coffee, both help. Most people top up periodically rather than repeating the full treatment.

The first 48 hours matter most, because the enamel is more porous immediately after treatment. Avoiding coffee, tea, red wine, curry and tomato sauce during that window makes a visible difference to how long the result holds.

What teeth whitening costs in Ontario

Ontario dentists set their own fees, and most use the Ontario Dental Association's annual Suggested Fee Guide as a reference point. The fee for any given treatment depends on how much work is involved, the materials used, and whether anything else needs doing first, so a written estimate after an examination is the only figure worth relying on.

We will give you a written treatment plan with the fee codes before anything goes ahead, so you can send it to your insurer for a pre-determination and know what you will be paying before you commit.

If you are covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan, we are a participating provider and can bill the CDCP directly. If you have workplace or private insurance, we can submit the claim for you. Ask us about payment options if you would rather spread the cost.
