Teeth Whitening - Zoom Whitening procedure

Zoom whitening is a teeth-bleaching procedure performed in a dentist's office. After a hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth, an overhead lamp delivers UV light to the area, breaking down the activated gel. This allows oxygen to enter the enamel and dentin, bleaching the colored substances while leaving the structure of the teeth intact.

Some users experience comfortable procedures, while others have reported a great deal of pain (this side effect is known as the "zinger"). Treatments typically last about an hour and may result in up to eight shades of improvement. The results vary from person to person, but many report very good whitening results.
