Coffee, tea, soft drinks, red wine and smoking all stain teeth over time. Whitening at the clinic lifts those stains in a single visit.
We use the Philips Zoom in-office system. On average it makes teeth up to eight or more shades lighter. How long the result lasts depends on what you eat and drink, how you live and how well you look after your teeth. With good brushing and regular check-ups it can last for years.
Before we start
We talk through what you’d like and answer your questions. If you decide to go ahead, one of our dentists certified in Zoom whitening checks your teeth and gums to make sure they’re healthy enough to whiten that day.
What happens
- We protect your gums and mouth, and take a “before” photo.
- We apply the Zoom whitening gel and switch on the blue light that activates it.
- The gel goes on three times, 20 minutes each, over about an hour. You can sit back and watch a film while it works.
- We take an “after” photo, you rinse, and you’re done.
