How to prepare for teeth whitening, what whitening methods exist and how to do in-office whitening Philips ZOOM

Content:

Zoom 4 is an updated technology of one of the most popular professional teeth whitening systems from Philips. The improved system is considered the safest compared to previous ones, as it contains 10% less hydrogen peroxide (only 25%). The developers of the updated Zoom 4 system managed to find the optimal balance between the effectiveness and safety of whitening. Thanks to this, tooth enamel does not deteriorate or crack.

Zoom 4 is the most effective and safe teeth whitening technology available today. The Zoom 4 technology showed the greatest whitening effect when the enamel darkened due to smoking or consumption of food coloring. The Zoom whitening technique was created in the USA, and, thanks to its many advantages, very soon became popular in other countries.

How to prepare for the procedure

To ensure that whitening is safe and does not have a negative impact on the condition of the oral cavity, the patient should go through the following preparatory steps:

1. Cure existing diseases of teeth and gums.
2. Undergo professional oral hygiene, during which hard and soft plaque and tartar deposits will be removed. Without this, the gel will not be able to penetrate into the deep layers of the tooth.
3. Carry out fluoridation to strengthen the enamel before the upcoming intervention.

If necessary, the doctor can also prescribe a remineralizing course to the client, which should be completed at home.

Benefits of Zoom 4 whitening

Gentle whitening.

The Philips ZOOM teeth whitening lamp has a flexible setting system and does not overheat tooth enamel. And the whitening gel contains calcium phosphate to restore enamel, as well as a number of other additional elements that reduce the negative impact on the surface of the teeth and promote its active restoration.

No discomfort.

Many people complain of discomfort during whitening procedures using other technologies. However, when using Zoom 4, discomfort is minimal or absent altogether, thanks to the introduction of new developments and a balanced composition, tooth sensitivity after Zoom 4 whitening is observed for an average of 8 hours, after which the patient practically does not feel any serious discomfort.

Fast procedure and long lasting results.

The whitening procedure using this technology takes an average of 45 minutes. Using Zoom 4, you can achieve 8 to 10 shades of whitening in just one visit to the dentist. And the result after lightening tooth enamel using this technology can last up to 3 years, provided that the doctor’s recommendations are followed.

Teeth whitening using the zoom system - reviews

I did it at the end of September in America.

I have perfectly good enamel, no fillings on my front teeth.

The procedure itself is not painful, I was warned about the discomfort that may occur in the first days, but there was none. The sensitivity of the teeth did not increase.

The result is, of course, amazing. I was very afraid that my teeth would be too white, the color of a toilet bowl)) But this did not happen - the result is very natural. As they told me, my teeth will be the same color as they were when they first erupted in my youth. They did not deceive me.

BUT! The result didn’t last very long for me - literally everything was perfect for a couple of months. Then it started - red wine, coffee, tea, hookah smoking. And still my teeth are whiter than before. Now I know for sure that I’m not going to have the same yellow teeth as before. I’ll be back, I’ll do the Zoom regularly. I’ll just try to stay on milk, water and green tea longer. It’s worth it.

White teeth make you look younger and make you look healthier.

I smoke a lot, so my once naturally white teeth have turned yellow. I was thinking about returning my natural shade, so I read a lot of information about whitening methods. I settled on the Zoom Night White system. I went to the dentist, where they performed professional hygiene and made mouth guards for me. Every day for 14 days I wore them for two hours before going to bed. As a result, my teeth brightened by 4 shades - I’m happy

I had whitening performed by Ekaterina Andreevna Ilyushchenko in Zhulebino. Thank you for the consultation, thanks to her I chose the Zoom 3 method. As they say, the color lasts up to 3 years. I did not feel any discomfort during the process. But I saw an excellent result - the shade of the teeth was very even, white, and beautiful. And it turned out much cheaper than in some clinics.

It hurt a lot afterwards, I couldn’t sleep or eat for two days! But the effect was the most lasting - almost three years! That’s why I think it’s better to suffer for a couple of days, but then sparkle your teeth like a queen!

From childhood I remember how the yellowing enamel did not give me the opportunity to laugh heartily. Years have passed, and I haven’t tried anything during this time. The protective layer became quite thin, so I stopped experimenting. And recently I learned about the safe zoom 4 method, which does not use aggressive means. The result amazed me even during the procedure, when no discomfort or pain bothered me. After contemplating the oral cavity in the mirror, I was delighted; I had never had such white teeth. The effect has lasted for the third month, I have not yet seen any changes in color intensity.

The innovative method of teeth whitening has been evaluated by thousands of people, most of whom were satisfied with the result. The main rule of treatment is: do no harm! Zoom 4 fully corresponds to this thesis.

It’s easy to make your smile beautiful and snow-white; just dial the phone number of your chosen clinic and make an appointment with a dentist for a consultation. Without queues and wasting time, a painless procedure will be performed on the same day.

In just an hour you can gain greater confidence, increase self-esteem and change your quality of life for the better.

Advantages:

Long-term results. Noticeable lightening of teeth by several shades.

Flaws:

If it’s not difficult for you to abstain from eating foods with coloring for 72 hours, then there are no disadvantages.

Details:

I thought for a long time whether to do Zoom whitening or not. I read a lot of reviews. Some write that they cannot stand this procedure because it hurts their teeth. For some, right during the procedure, for others, at home after some time. My doctor explained to me that everyone tolerates the sensitivity of their teeth to the extent that they can. If tooth sensitivity is high, then it is necessary to undergo a “remineralizing therapy” procedure, that is, application of minerals. This way the teeth are prepared for whitening and there is no pain. Since I have high sensitivity, I had rem therapy and during the procedure and after it I did not feel any pain. I had whitening done at Veronica in St. Petersburg. They have Zoom 3. I’ve been walking around with a snow-white smile for a month now! The doctor says that this result lasts up to 1.5 years! For the first 72 hours I ate only white and clear foods. Naturally no coffee or red wine! So I recommend Zoom whitening to everyone. Just be sure to prepare for it!

Hi all!!! ❤

For some reason, there are very few reviews on such a popular topic for girls as teeth whitening! After all, we all want to be even more beautiful and attract admiring glances!) So, I want to share with you my story of teeth whitening using ZOOM !

This topic touched me not for the sake of the admiring glances of men or the envious glances of women. I just decided to be a beauty on a girl’s most important day – her wedding! ❤ Besides, there are so many expenses for a wedding, you can add one more point)) By the way, the procedure is not cheap and cost about 20 thousand in Moscow about three years ago. Although there are now many discount coupons and you can look for cheaper ones.

There were few reviews, but what I read prepared me for the fact that my teeth would hurt for the first couple of days. And taking money and painkillers with me, I went for the procedure. It should be noted that my teeth were yellowish. Not terribly neglected, but I really wanted to whiten them!

ღღღღღ

The procedure itself is tolerable and not that long. Its essence is that teeth are smeared with a special agent and special lamps are shined on them. First, a mouth guard is inserted into the mouth, exposing all the teeth. The procedure was done in several passes, in total no more than an hour.

And when they showed me my teeth in the mirror at the end, I was just shocked!!! They were white, it even seemed unnaturally white to me! I was very amazed and delighted, it cannot be expressed in words. But at first, seeing myself fleetingly in the mirror, it seemed to me that my teeth were very noticeable.

Girls, smiling widely with snow-white and even teeth is an indescribable pleasure. Those who have it innately, appreciate it. For me, after braces and whitening, it was just WOW! And this is a definite PLUS !

ღღღღღ

But this procedure has two MINUSES , because of which I will give it a 4. The first one is not so significant.

That is, it is very significant for the first couple of days! It wasn’t just that my teeth were shot, but as if they had been torn apart by a grenade. The pain was hellish, I was ready to climb the wall, I could not sleep. In general, pain to the point of tears. But it quickly passed and is no longer remembered.

The second disadvantage, which I firmly put, is the duration of the effect. Initially, the doctor warned me that it lasts differently for everyone. Some have a year or two, others five or even more.

It's been 3 and a half years now, and my teeth are almost back to their previous appearance. It’s not that my teeth are whiter compared to others, but there’s almost no effect. And I definitely see the yellowness. Of course, I myself am partly to blame, I drink coffee every day and several times. By the way, immediately after the procedure you can’t do anything coloring for about a week. I could barely last without coffee) And so I returned to its constant consumption without thinking and taking it for granted. I should at least brush my teeth not only in the morning, but also in the evening, but I didn’t do that because of laziness. In general, I myself reduced the duration of the procedure))

ღღღღღ

As for the deterioration of the quality of teeth, enamel, etc., I didn’t notice anything like that! I think I’ll get together on ZOOM some other time if I don’t find information that doing it often is harmful))

There was definitely no harm from one procedure. Although a lot still depends on the doctor and the clinic you go to. I was lucky, everything went well, and I was happy with the result!

True, I didn’t take a photo right away, I didn’t think then that I would write reviews) I found the photos, I don’t know if it’s noticeable, but I really saw the difference myself!)

In general, I recommend the procedure, because even for a few years, having a snow-white smile is so wonderful!!!))

Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Be healthy and beautiful!!! ❤❤❤

Contraindications to teeth whitening

Thanks to modern technologies, all possible risks of damage to tooth enamel during the teeth whitening procedure are minimized. However, like any type of professional whitening, Zoom 4 has a number of contraindications, namely:

- Caries and pulpitis. Before the whitening procedure, it is necessary to cure all possible diseases of the oral cavity; — Possible allergic reactions to substances in the whitening gel; — You should refrain from teeth whitening while taking antibiotics and other drugs that increase the enamel’s sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation; — Pregnancy and lactation; — Age up to 16 years; - Presence of tumors.

How often can I do ZUM whitening?

Only dentists can give the correct answer to this question. And in each individual case it will be different. On average, it is believed that ZUM whitening can be done no more than 1 – 2 times a year. How often the need to repeat the whitening procedure will arise depends on several factors:

• age of the patient (the older the patient, the faster the effect of the whitening procedure disappears);
• presence of bad habits (smoking);
• natural tooth color (naturally light teeth need to be whitened less frequently);
• quality of individual oral care (regular hygiene helps preserve the shade of tooth enamel).

How is the Zoom 4 whitening procedure performed?

For the most effective results of teeth whitening, our experts recommend that before the Zoom 4 procedure, you perform comprehensive professional oral hygiene, including remineralization therapy - deep fluoridation of teeth to prevent enamel hypersensitivity.

The Zoom 4 teeth whitening procedure itself takes about 45 minutes and consists of the following steps:

1. Applying a composition to protect the gums. The lips and cheeks are fixed with a retractor, and a photoprotective cream is applied to the soft tissues. A special preparation is also applied to the gums, which immediately hardens in the air.

2. Applying whitening gel. Next, the whitening gel is applied to the tooth enamel and exposed to it using a Zoom LED lamp with different intensity settings. This stage lasts 15-20 minutes, after which the remaining portion of the gel is removed and the manipulations are repeated again until the desired result is obtained (3-4 such procedures may be needed).

3. Removal of the protective composition. After activating the whitening gel with an LED lamp, the doctor removes protective drugs from the surface of the gums, and coats the teeth with a remineralizing gel to restore enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity.

What else you need to know before whitening

1) Whitening only changes the color of natural teeth . Fillings, inlays, veneers and crowns cannot be bleached. If such restorations are located in the smile area and after whitening they differ in color from “your” teeth, ask your dentist to replace them.

For the same reason , teeth treated before whitening are closed with temporary fillings in order to later replace them with permanent ones (with the selection of the appropriate color).

Replacement of restorations is carried out no earlier than 14 days after completion of whitening (this is the average time it takes for the formation of a new teeth color).

2) Depulped (dead) teeth that have darkened after nerve removal can be whitened only by intracoronal bleaching . This procedure must be performed before teeth whitening.

3) It is impossible to accurately predict and order a specific color . The result of whitening is individual for each person and depends on many factors.

For example: gray-brown teeth whiten worse than white and yellow teeth. “Fangs” bleach worse than “incisors.”

Teeth may whiten unevenly (the necks of the teeth remain darker), but after some time the color of the teeth evens out. If this does not happen, you can lighten the unsatisfactory color with additional bleaching procedures.

The only option to ensure the desired color that is the same for all teeth is to install ceramic veneers on the teeth “in the smile zone.”

Recommendations after teeth whitening Zoom 4

It is very important to follow a number of doctor’s recommendations after the whitening procedure to maintain the effectiveness of the result. If you follow the recommendations below, Zoom 4 whitening allows you to lighten tooth enamel by 8 - 10 tones, maintaining the result for up to 3 years.

1. For at least 1 week after the Zoom 4 whitening procedure, stop eating foods and drinks that stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, wine, sweet carbonated drinks, chocolate, carrots, beets, ketchup.

2. Completely eliminate smoking for at least 2 days. It is advisable to reduce the number of cigarettes per day for 1 month.

3. To restore enamel after Zoom 4 whitening, you must use a toothbrush and toothpaste with minimal abrasiveness.

4. It is necessary to regularly visit a dentist for preventive purposes, as well as for professional oral hygiene.

Ongoing care after whitening

High-quality hygiene. General rules are standard. Brush your teeth twice a day using toothpaste selected by your dentist. Floss is regularly used to clean the cervical part of the crown, lateral surfaces, and interdental space. It is advisable to use an irrigator twice a week to remove soft plaque.

Visits to the dentist. Performed once every 4-6 months for preventive examination and professional cleaning. During visits, the doctor monitors the result of whitening, changes in the color of tooth enamel, and carries out procedures to strengthen it.

Supportive procedures. To consolidate the whitening result and prolong it, do the following:

• professional teeth cleaning. A quick and painless procedure for removing soft plaque, developing tartar, and other deposits on the surface of crowns. It involves polishing the enamel, using enamel strengthening agents, which slows down the penetration of coloring pigments into it, helping to keep teeth white longer;
• instant whitening. Dentists at the DentoSpas clinic recommend Philips Zoom QuickPro lamp-free whitening, which can be performed every few months. It takes 30-40 minutes, lightens teeth by 1-4 shades on the Vita scale, and allows you to either gradually, in a gentle manner, achieve the lightest possible shade, or maintain the result of a previously performed procedure.

How does whitening work?

The time spent on enamel whitening is about one to one and a half hours. To begin with, the doctor determines the initial shade of the teeth according to an established scale and discusses with the client what color he wants to get upon completion of treatment. After:

• the customer is given glasses to protect their eyes from ultraviolet radiation;
• cover his lips with protective cream;
• The gums are treated with a substance that hardens upon contact with oxygen - this is necessary so that the bleaching agent does not injure them.

When the preparation is complete, the gel is applied to the teeth. It is illuminated with a lamp. After 20 minutes, the solution is removed and the treatment is repeated again. Up to three such cycles are allowed in one session.

Then the dentition is coated with a remineralizing composition. It helps the enamel to fully recover and eliminates the occurrence of increased tooth sensitivity.

Advantages of the method

Now Zoom teeth whitening is considered one of the most effective and gentle ways to lighten enamel. After professional procedures, your smile becomes more attractive. The patient's self-confidence increases. The advantages of the technique include the following:

• possibility of lightening up to ten tones in one procedure;
• the effect lasts from 2 to 4 years;
• A teeth whitening session in a clinic is one third shorter than with other types;
• when exposed to enamel, its top layer is destroyed;
• even tetracycline teeth or enamel affected by fluorosis are whitened;
• There is a minimal risk to the oral mucosa and gums.

This is the best whitening, since the technique has significantly fewer disadvantages than other lightening methods. These include the rather high cost and the need to replace fillings on incisors and canines.

Alarms

The first signs of NAS damage are discomfort in the innervation zone (lower lip, cheek and gums in the lower jaw). There are 3 types of manifestations of the disease:

• anesthesia (absolute loss of sensation);
• dysesthesia (discomfort in the form of “pins and needles”, pain in the area of ​​the affected NAS);
• paresthesia (decreased sensitivity: the patient does not feel pain when pricked with a needle).

Often, when removing figure eights, the lingual nerve is damaged. Sometimes this happens during implantation. Signs of the disease:

• uncontrolled tongue biting;
• violation of diction;
• decreased performance of taste buds;
• increased salivation.

Note: up to 90% of lingual nerve injuries do not require drug treatment. The pathology disappears on its own after 1.5-2 months.

What exactly is not recommended to eat on a white diet? Stop list of products

The white diet excludes the following foods from the diet:

• black and green tea. By the way, it is green tea that causes plaque to form on teeth extremely quickly. This product should also be excluded from the white diet so that your teeth do not darken after whitening;
• bright sauces: tomato, soy, adjika, ketchup, etc.;
• coffee, cocoa are obvious stop drinks of a transparent diet;
• colored fruits: plums, dark grapes, red apples;
• fruit and vegetable juices, compote, fruit drink;
• chocolate, lollipops, dragees;
• citrus;
• jam;
• egg yolk;
• red wine.
