What does “Philips Zoom whitening” mean?
Zoom whitening refers to a treatment using the Philips Zoom series of teeth whitening products and systems. Depending on the exact product, it is divided into office whitening and at-home whitening.
Each product has different application methods.
Zoom WhiteSpeed is introduced as a light-activated whitening system used in clinics, and DayWhite·NiteWhite are products with different usage methods. Just because of the name ‘Zoom’, it does not mean that both the medicine and the time of use are the same.
In actual treatment, it is applied according to the product used, its instructions, and the condition of the teeth. We do not translate the fabricater's typical promotional figures into individual expectations.
Check before equipment
Check the cause of discoloration, decay and gum condition, existing sensitivity, and front tooth restorations. Even when light is used, natural teeth and resin or crowns do not all change to the same color together.
During treatment, the eyes and surrounding tissues are protected and sensitivity or irritation is monitored. Increasing the prescribed application settings on your own does not guarantee better results.
Compared to other whitening
Compare the treatment setting and supervision, number of sessions needed, management of sensitivity, and maintenance plan as well as the product name. This entry explains the term; it does not imply that TU Dental Clinic owns or uses the equipment.
