You deserve better than guesswork.
That starts with being completely transparent about your investment. You’ll learn how Dr. We’ll also break down the long term value of professional care so you can stop wasting money on kits that don’t work.
How long does Zoom whitening last?
Your brighter smile will typically last between 12 and 18 months before you notice any significant fading. This timeframe depends on your daily habits, such as how much coffee or red wine you drink.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?
Zoom whitening only works on natural tooth enamel and won’t change the shade of porcelain crowns, veneers, or composite fillings. We often suggest whitening your natural teeth first and then replacing old fillings or crowns to match your new, brighter shade for a seamless look.
How much whiter will my teeth actually get?
While results vary based on your starting point, 95 percent of our Port Macquarie patients see a dramatic difference immediately.
What should I avoid eating after my Zoom session?
You should stick to a “white diet” for the first 48 hours after your treatment to prevent new stains from setting into the enamel. Avoid dark liquids like coffee, red wine, and tea, as well as foods like beetroot, berries, or soy sauce.
Is Zoom whitening safe for my enamel?
Professional Zoom whitening is 100 percent safe for your enamel when administered by our experienced dental team. The pH-balanced hydrogen peroxide gel works to lift deep stains without damaging the physical structure of your teeth. Research shows that a single professional session is actually safer than using abrasive whitening toothpastes every day for a full year.
How often can I have my teeth professionally whitened?
Most patients only need a full in-chair treatment once every 12 to 24 months to keep their smile at peak brightness. Over-whitening can lead to increased sensitivity, so we focus on a “less is more” approach for your oral health. For maintenance between yearly visits, Dr. Rourke provides custom-fitted trays that you can use at home for just 30 minutes every few months.
What is the difference between Zoom and other professional brands?
The main difference is the proprietary LED light technology that speeds up the whitening process, giving you faster results in a single visit. While some other professional brands require multiple appointments, Zoom provides a 40 percent more effective whitening boost in under an hour.
