Whitening is ideal for anyone looking for immediate results, which makes it the perfect choice for the busy individual.

The Zoom! Whitening procedure is simple and painless. It begins with a short preparation to isolate the lips and gums, and then the dentist applies a gel solution to the teeth which is activated by a specially designed light. Teeth typically become six to ten shades whiter, sometimes more and in most cases the teeth get even whiter the first few days after the procedure. You’ll be amazed with the results.

The Zoom! Light activated gel was developed after years of research and is a scientifically formulated, pH balanced Hydrogen Peroxide that, when activated by the Zoom! Light, gently penetrates the teeth to remove deep stains and discolouration.
