What is ZOOM! Teeth Whitening?
ZOOM! teeth whitening is an in-office whitening system that uses a special hydrogen peroxide-based gel activated by a bright LED light. This combination allows for a more profound level of whitening, reaching stains that typical at-home products cannot. The process is quick, usually taking about 45 minutes to an hour, and is supervised by a qualified dental professional, ensuring safety and effectiveness throughout the treatment.
Benefits of ZOOM! Teeth Whitening
Choosing Zoom teeth whitening at Perrott Dentistry offers multiple advantages:
- Quick Results: You can expect to leave the dental office with a noticeably brighter smile in just one visit. Many patients achieve whiter teeth by up to eight shades!
- Long-Lasting Effects: With proper care and maintenance, results can last anywhere from six months to two years. Following the initial treatment, using a touch-up kit and practicing good oral hygiene can help maintain your stunning results.
- Expert Care: The procedure is performed in a safe, professional environment, ensuring the best care from start to finish.
- Minimal Discomfort: The ZOOM! whitening formula is designed to minimize sensitivity, so most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment.
How Does ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Work?
Zoom Teeth Whitening works in four main steps:
- Preparation and Protection: Before starting, Dr. Perrott will ensure your comfort by covering your gums and lips, protecting them from the whitening gel. This step is essential in keeping the treatment focused solely on your teeth and preventing gum irritation.
- Application of Whitening Gel: The ZOOM! whitening gel, made with hydrogen peroxide, is then applied to the teeth. This gel begins breaking down tough stains on the enamel as it sits on your teeth.
- Activation with LED Light: A specialized LED light is used to activate the whitening gel. The combination of the gel and light allows stains to be broken down even faster, producing a noticeably whiter smile. The process typically takes about 15 minutes and is repeated a few times until the desired brightness is achieved.
- Post-Treatment Care: After your treatment, a sensitivity-reducing gel is applied to the teeth to minimize any discomfort and help you leave the office with confidence.
What to Expect After Your ZOOM! Teeth Whitening Session
After your session, it’s normal to experience slight sensitivity. This is temporary and typically fades within a few days. Dr. Perrott recommends avoiding staining foods and drinks for the first 48 hours post-treatment to maintain the brightness of your results. Staying away from coffee, tea, wine, and dark-colored foods can help extend the longevity of your new, brighter smile.
Who is a Candidate for ZOOM! Teeth Whitening
Individuals considering ZOOM! Teeth Whitening should meet certain criteria to ensure safe and effective treatment. Below are the key characteristics of suitable candidates:
- Healthy Teeth and Gums: A good candidate has healthy teeth and gums, which means any existing dental issues such as cavities or gum disease should be addressed prior to treatment.
- Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations regarding the outcomes of teeth whitening. It is important to understand that results can vary based on individual dental conditions and the types of stains on the teeth.
- Absence of Permanent Stains: Those without permanently stained teeth, such as those with discoloration from medications or dental restorations (crowns, veneers), are more likely to see effective results with whitening treatments.
- Not Pregnant or Lactating: Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid teeth whitening procedures due to potential risks to their child.
- Adult Candidates: ZOOM! Teeth Whitening is generally not recommended for children, particularly those under the age of 13, as their teeth are still developing.
- Commitment to Oral Hygiene: Individuals committed to maintaining their oral hygiene post-treatment—by avoiding substances that cause staining and following aftercare instructions—are ideal candidates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any age restrictions for ZOOM! Whitening?
ZOOM! Whitening is generally suitable for adults. However, it’s important to consult with a certified ZOOM! provider for personalized advice, especially for individuals under 18.
How long do the results of Zoom! in-office teeth whitening last?
The longevity of Zoom teeth whitening results depends on various factors, including individual habits and maintenance. With proper oral care, regular dental check-ups, and potential at-home touch-ups, results can last for an extended period.
Can I drink coffee or tea after Zoom! in-office teeth whitening?
The pores of your enamel will be more open two to three days after your whitening session, making them more prone to stains. Consuming staining agents right after your whitening session greatly increases the risks of new stains occurring. That’s why it’s advisable to avoid or limit the consumption of staining beverages, including coffee and tea, for at least three days after your Zoom teeth whitening session.
