What is Zoom® Teeth Whitening?
Zoom Teeth Whitening is a teeth whitening process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.

What causes discoloration of teeth?
There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances
such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During the formation of teeth, consumption of
tetracycline, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.

Who may benefit from Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Almost anyone. However, Zoom Teeth Whitening may not be as effective or some as it is for others.
Your dental professional can determine if you are a viable candidate for this Zoom Teeth Whitening
through a thorough oral exam, including a teeth shade assessment.

Do many people whiten their teeth?
More people whiten their teeth than you might imagine. A bright, sparkling smile can make a big
difference for everyone. The Zoom Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, extensive research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of
a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider teeth whitening the safest cosmetic dental
procedure available. As with any teeth whitening product, ZoomTeeth Whitening is not
recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women.

How long do Zoom Teeth Whitening results last?
By following some simple post teeth whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter
than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing
twice daily with Zoom Teeth Whitening Toothpaste.

Is there any difference between over-the-counter teeth whiteners and
Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Yes! Consulting your dental professional is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Plus,
over-the-counter teeth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to
whiten your teeth just a few shades. Zoom Teeth Whitening is clinically proven to whiten your teeth
eight shades in one hour. Only a dentist can get your teeth this white, this fast.

How does the Zoom Teeth Whitening In-Office System work?
The Zoom light-activated teeth whitening gel's active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As the hydro-
gen peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances
while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The Zoom Teeth Whitening 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 Teeth Whitening gel by 33% or more, giving
an average improvement of eight shades.

What does a patient experience during the Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure?
During the Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to
music. Many actually fall asleep. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty
undergoing the entire procedure.

Are there any side effects to Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during the Zoom Teeth
Whitening treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after completion of the teeth
whitening treatment.

How is exposure to the Zoom Teeth Whitening light controlled?
The Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around the mouth be pro-
tected. The clinician is required to monitor the procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is
isolated and protected. Protective eyewear is required during the teeth whitening procedure. Light
sensitive individuals including those undergoing PUVA (Psoralen+UV Radiation) therapy or other
photo-chemotherapy, as well as patients with melanoma, should not undergo the Zoom In-Office
procedure. Also patients taking any light sensitive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter,
prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary physician prior to procedure.

How long does Zoom Teeth Whitening take?
The complete Zoom Teeth Whitening procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins with
a preparation period followed by one hour of whitening with Zoom Teeth Whitening. A five minute
fluoride treatment completes the procedure (a cleaning is recommended prior to the actual Zoom
Teeth Whitening session).
