Day-White, Klox, Opalescence, ZOOM
The coating of the teeth is porous, like a sponge, so dyes easily penetrate into its thickness and make the teeth darker. Special whitening systems that can penetrate into the enamel and dissolve the pigments accumulated there help to restore a snow-white smile. The most popular ones include Day-White, Klox, Opalescence and ZOOM. These hydrogen peroxide-based systems have undergone clinical trials, have been officially approved for use, and have proven themselves well in practice.

To maintain the results of teeth whitening in a dental clinic, it is possible to use kits for home enamel lightening of one of the most popular professional teeth whitening systems from Philips Zoom, which can also be used as a separate system for lightening teeth at home.
Benefits of Zoom Home Whitening
Philips Zoom is the only professional at-home whitening system with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). This innovative formula also protects enamel, enhances shine and reduces tooth sensitivity during the whitening process. Now, thanks to the modern, safe and effective formula of these whitening gels, a snow-white smile is available at home.
The Zoom set includes active whitening gels Night White and Day White and special syringes for applying the gels. Although this whitening is called home whitening, it still begins with a visit to the dental clinic, where the dentist will take impressions, then in the laboratory, using the impressions, individual trays will be made, into which it will be necessary to spread a thin layer of Day White gels over the surface of the teeth at home. and Night White.
To achieve the best result, the procedure must be carried out 2 times during the day for 15-30 minutes and at night. Courses “Mini” (9 applications) and “Standard” (18 applications) are available. Enamel lightening using Zoom home whitening usually occurs within 2 weeks.
Using the Night White and Day White sets, you can make your teeth 3 to 4 shades lighter, which, of course, is inferior to Zoom 4 teeth whitening in a dental clinic. Therefore, using Day White and Night White gels at home is more suitable for consolidating the result after teeth whitening in dentistry or for those who naturally have fairly light tooth enamel.
Zoom gel formulas use the 2 most common ingredients used for teeth whitening: carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide.
Nite White - home whitening at night
Night whitening is performed using a gel containing carbamide peroxide. Discus Dental produces three types of systems with active substance concentrations of 10, 16, 22%. The gel has a high viscosity and is evenly distributed over the surface of the teeth. It acts gently, but due to prolonged contact with the surface of the enamel, it lightens quickly.
Application:
- a course of nightly applications of active gel, whitening period is about 3-4 weeks;
- the bleaching composition does not need to be changed during the night;
- The gel is distributed inside a custom-made tray. It is supplied in a double-barrel syringe for preparing the active solution immediately before use;
- The Nite White system can be used during the day, and can be used together with the Day White course.
The active gel contains additional components to protect against demineralization of the enamel and increase sensitivity, strengthen it, and enhance its own shine.
The systems provide long-term results – from 2 years. The exact period is individual (determined by the quality of hygiene, consumption of coloring drinks, products, etc.). The course of procedures can be repeated once every six months.
Doctors at the DentoSpas clinic have been trained to work with Discus Dental products. You can order Day White and Nite White kits for day or night whitening from us. Our dentist will select the optimal whitening system after a preliminary examination and consultation.
Home whitening Day White
Day White is a modern professional daytime home whitening system. Day White gel uses 9.5% hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is effective for a short period of time and is best suited for patients who require short exposure times.
To protect and enhance the shine of enamel, Day White gel also includes active ingredients such as amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) and potassium nitrate, an anesthetic for relieving tooth sensitivity.
The Day White ACP 9.5% standard home whitening system kit includes 6 syringes (2.4 ml), 6 tips, a container for storing trays, and instructions. Special syringes allow you to mix the active ingredient of the gel with a special activator exactly at the time of application.
Day White - daily whitening at home
The active component of Day White gel is hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 7.5 or 9.5%. When the gel comes into contact with the surface of the tooth, it provides pigments that color the enamel. For additional protection against increased sensitivity, the active gel contains potassium nitrate. The use of amorphous calcium phosphate reduces the permeability of hard dental tissues and increases their shine.
Usage:
- applications are performed for the upper and lower jaws. For this purpose, mouthguards made from impressions of the patient’s teeth are used;
- the duration of one procedure is 30 minutes, they are performed twice a day (morning and evening);
- course of procedures - from 4 to 13 days (9-27 procedures), the total time of exposure of the gel to the enamel - 4-13 hours.
The expected result is lightening by 6-8 shades on the Vita scale (depending on your own color and the condition of the enamel).
Home whitening Night White
Night White is a modern professional home whitening system at night. Night White gel uses 16% carbamide peroxide. Carbamide peroxide is hydrogen peroxide mixed with urea, which makes the peroxide more effective over a long period of time. Therefore, this formula is suitable for use at night.
To protect and enhance the shine of the enamel, the Night White gel, like the daytime whitening gel, contains amorphous calcium phosphate and potassium nitrate.
Patented Night White ACP syringe technology is an advanced whitening system consisting of two components. The double-barrel syringe allows the carbamide peroxide (barrel 1) and activator (barrel 2) to mix precisely at the moment of application.
The Night White ACP 9.5% standard home whitening system includes 6 syringes (2.4 ml), 6 tips, a container for storing aligners, a shade card, and instructions.
Important! For home use of Zoom gels, the manufacture of individual mouth guards is required. Also, despite the fact that the concentration of active ingredients is designed for safe use, and the procedure itself does not require special skills when performing, each patient requires a preliminary consultation with a dentist about the possibility of using this system.
Home teeth whitening White Light
A couple of years ago, in Europe, I purchased a wonderful product for whitening teeth at home, WhiteLight. The principle was very simple and convenient. Gel was applied to the mouth guard, the mouth guard was applied to the teeth, then the light transmitter was inserted and the blue light was turned on, 10 minutes a day and after a week your teeth are 3-5 shades lighter. The result was simply excellent, moreover, it has survived to this day.
2 years after present WhiteLight
When this product appeared on the Internet, I clapped my hands with joy. Hooray! There will be something to give to friends for the holiday, and it wouldn’t hurt to buy one for yourself as a preventive measure.
I confess, I was inattentive, I made an order under the influence of a familiar brand. And having received the order by mail and paid for it (2000 rubles), I still had no idea what awaited me.
The first thing that immediately surprised me was 2 gels instead of one. Yes, yes, the original system contains only ONE gel, green in color with an applicator applicator for more convenient application to the mouthguard.
two gels and a transmitter
The gel contains carbamide peroxide, which, under the influence of light or heat, releases active oxygen, which is what brightens, and to be precise, pushes out dark compounds from the tooth tissues.

Here the advertisement tells us about two gels, one a clarifier, the other a developer, which are mixed and the reaction begins. It's complete nonsense, if you also read the composition on the tubes of gel (on which it is the same, by the way), then this composition does not even contain substances that are activated under the influence of light. It’s on the box, but not on the tubes, it’s strange isn’t it? Could the ingredients on the outer packaging differ from the ingredients on the product? Maybe if the box is from a completely different product!
Yes, by the way, the box shows a green gel with an applicator, and the package contains ONE gel with an applicator made in the USA. Everything else is made in China. (On the back of the package at the very bottom). That is, the contents of the package do not correspond to reality at all.
Moreover, this is not a whitening gel at all, but an ordinary toothpaste (read the composition on the tube), and not the best composition, sodium hydroxide alone is worth it! This is a caustic alkali, the kind usually found in plumbing cleaning products. Well, if you quickly brush her teeth, then nothing particularly terrible will happen, but it will all lie there in a thick layer on her teeth for 10 minutes. But they even recommend 30 minutes for better results!!! Even with household chemicals, 5 minutes is usually enough for the alkali to dissolve all contaminants. And having dissolved the plaque on the teeth, the alkali will attack the enamel, by the way, and it is almost impossible to restore it.
Anyone who writes that tooth sensitivity appeared after using the system can be congratulated - the alkali has already worked on the enamel.
Well, there is no point in talking about the fact that the light transmitter is also far from the original. Enough gels. And further. No matter how much the system costs, and the prices are simply amazing with their variety from 136 rubles to 3000 (and those who offer the same thing at a higher price warn us against cheap counterfeits, they cleverly came up with this), if you see TWO gels in the composition, then know that you are being cruelly cheated, and at the same time at risk to your health!

Day-White
Day-White whitening is carried out by the patient independently at home, but with the help of trays obtained from the dentist. The doctor first takes impressions, from which he makes individual silicone mouth guards within a few days. They come with a syringe of whitening gel. The patient must wear gel-filled mouth guards twice a day and spend 30 minutes in them. The total number of procedures is determined by the dentist, depending on the color of the teeth and the condition of the enamel.
