Frequently Asked Questions
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, Zoom! whitening is clinically proven safe when performed by dental professionals. We carefully protect your gums and monitor the entire process.
How long does the treatment take?
The in-office procedure takes about 45 minutes of active whitening time, with the entire appointment lasting approximately 90 minutes.
Will my teeth be sensitive after whitening?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, which typically resolves within 24-48 hours. We provide special treatments to minimize discomfort.
How white will my teeth get?
Most patients see an improvement of 6-8 shades. Results vary based on your natural tooth color and any existing dental work.
How long do the results last?
With proper care, professional whitening results can last 1-2 years. Touch-ups can help maintain your bright smile indefinitely.
Can I whiten crowns or veneers?
No, artificial dental work doesn't respond to whitening. We'll discuss options if you have visible restorations.
What causes teeth to stain?
Common causes include coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and natural aging. We'll help you understand your specific staining factors.
Should I whiten my teeth before other dental work?
Yes, if you're planning cosmetic dental work, we recommend whitening first so new restorations can be matched to your brighter smile.
Can everyone get their teeth whitened?
Most adults are candidates, but we'll evaluate your oral health to ensure whitening is appropriate for you.
What should I avoid after whitening?
For 24-48 hours, avoid staining foods and beverages. We provide a detailed list of recommendations for maintaining your results.
