Zoom Teeth Whitening

Dr Ellenberg provides family and cosmetic dentistry services in Clearwater Florida including dental whitening, dental bleaching, and zoom tooth whitening services for you and your family.

What is Zoom! tooth whitening?

Zoom! is a brand name bleaching process that lightens discoloration of tooth enamel and dentin.

Zoom! Tooth whitening is performed in Dr. Ellenberg’s office and takes about an hour to complete. Dr. Ellenberg will start by prepping your teeth, followed by up to 45 minutes of bleaching, while you wait in the office.

How does Zoom! Work?

The Zoom! light-activated whitening gel's active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom! light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the Zoom! lamp increases the effectiveness of the Zoom! gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of up to eight shades.

Tooth Sensitivity to Zoom! Whitening

Some patients may experience sensitivity with teeth during Zoom! Treatment. The Zoom! light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate. Prior to treatment, Dr. Ellenberg may be able to supply you with anti-sensitivity toothpaste to help alleviate any discomfort.
