Zoom Teeth Whitening
Having a smile that is bright, white, and healthy is everyone’s dream. But unfortunately, teeth can lose their natural shine as years go by. As enamel loses its sheen, so does the smile. Teeth whitening treatment can help you restore the shine and color of your teeth. It is a safe process when done by a professional dentist in Brossard.
During the teeth cleaning process in Montreal, the experienced dentist opens the pores that have absorbed stains and discolor from various food and drinks that you have over the years and removes them. They use special tools and materials for this process to give back the white color to your teeth.

How does Zoom!® whiten the teeth?
Zoom!® is a bleaching process that lightens the dentin and enamel of the teeth. Zoom!® contains a hydrogen peroxide component (25%), which is the active ingredient in the gel. When hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth, the peroxide component breaks down into tiny oxygen bubbles. It is these bubbles that eliminate yellowing and staining.
A light is used to activate the gel and expedite the whitening process. This specialized light contains a unique infrared filter that works to reduce the amount of heat (and therefore sensitivity) on the surface of the teeth during the procedure. The internal structure of the teeth remains completely healthy and intact during and after the treatment.
As with any whitening system, the post-treatment results can vary according to the degree of staining and the condition of the teeth. A consultation with the dentist prior to treatment will provide information as to what kind of results Zoom!® can provide in specific instances. Zoom!® is only applied to healthy teeth and gums. If tooth decay or gum disease is an issue, these need to be controlled before the bleaching treatment is performed
How is the Zoom!® treatment performed?
Prior to treatment, there will be a consultation where the dentist will outline the exact procedure. On treatment day, a deep cleaning (prophylaxis) will be performed to rid the teeth of any debris and plaque. Then, special eyewear will be provided to protect the eyes from the halide light, and splashguards to protect the clothing from the bleaching agent.
Here is a brief overview of the Zoom!® procedure:
- Cheek retractors will be placed to expose the entire surface of the teeth.
- The gums will be painted or covered to reduce sensitivity.
- The dentist will apply the whitening gel to the teeth.
- The halide light will then be applied to activate the gel. This specialized Zoom!® light can be positioned to work on all the teeth simultaneously.
- After 15 minutes, gel will be removed from the teeth and the mouth will be rinsed.
- More gel will be applied for another 15 minutes.
- Again, the gel will be removed and the mouth will be thoroughly cleansed.
- The final treatment of gel will be applied for 15 minutes.
- The gel will be removed for the final time.
What happens after treatment?
The same external factors that caused the discoloration in the first place can quickly work their way back onto the teeth. For this reason, the dentist recommends flossing once a day, thorough cleaning with anti-sensitivity toothpaste twice a day, and occasional retreatment with Zoom!® Weekender. These post-treatment measures will ensure that the smile stays at its whitest for a long time.
If you have questions about the Zoom!® Chairside System, please ask your dentist.
Here are some of the popular teeth whitening procedures:
Store bought whitening treatments
Store-bought whitening treatments such as whitening strips, toothpaste, and gels are inexpensive, easy to apply, and readily available. Whitening strips are thin strips of whitening materials that are readily available in convenience stores. If you have slight to moderate staining, then these strips might work and give your shine back. Also, you can finish these treatments on your own time and in the convenience of your home.
You can also use teeth whitening toothpaste and gels that can be applied directly to the surface of your teeth with a small brush to lighten the teeth.
Home whitening kits
Teeth whitening kits use a higher concentration of peroxide gel which is only available on prescription when you see a dentist in Brossard. The professional teeth whitening kit will whiten your teeth lighter and faster than another system. What’s more, your dentist will also make customized whitening trays that will perfectly fit your mouth precisely and ensure there is a seal around the gum margin. This seal keeps the gel from touching your delicate gums and ensures it stays on your teeth.
Dentist administered whitening treatments
Speak to your Dentist or Dental Hygienist about professional teeth whitening options. These include safe but powerful treatments using UV light or laser treatments and can provide dramatic results.
Rather than using chemicals like peroxide to clear the stains within your teeth, the laser treatment helps activate the whitening agent that is used in the treatment. During the procedure, guards are placed over gums and lips to protect them from laser rays. It is an effective method that can help whiten your teeth in a single seating; however, it is more expensive than other treatments. But, all candidates are not suitable for this treatment. Your dentist in Brossard will suggest the best type of treatment that is suitable for your teeth.
Choosing Teeth Whitening Treatment Appropriately
Although teeth whitening products are available very quickly, be it laser treatments, toothpaste, or gels, you must use the treatment with the help of trained dentists. Please remember that different types of treatments are suitable for different kinds of teeth and have their own benefits. Only a dentist will be able to advise you of the kind of treatment that will be perfect for your oral health.
