Philips Zoom Whitening is a professional teeth whitening treatment performed under dental supervision. The system uses a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel that is activated by a specially designed LED light. This combination works to break down stains and discolouration on the tooth enamel. Unlike over-the-counter whitening products, Zoom teeth whitening is conducted in a controlled dental environment, allowing for stronger whitening agents to be used safely.

The Philips Zoom teeth whitening process involves several steps:
The whitening gel contains hydrogen peroxide, which penetrates the tooth enamel when activated by the LED light. This process breaks down the compounds that cause tooth discolouration, including stains from food, beverages, ageing, and other factors.
The treatment is performed in our practice under professional supervision, which allows us to monitor the process and address any sensitivity concerns that may arise during treatment.
You might consider professional teeth whitening if you:




Some temporary tooth sensitivity may occur after your Zoom teeth whitening treatment. This is a common and normal side effect that usually goes away within 24 to 48 hours. We may provide you with products to help manage any sensitivity.
To help maintain your results, we recommend:
Individual results vary, and the longevity of whitening results depends on your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle factors.
Professional teeth whitening differs from over-the-counter products in several ways:
Professional treatments use higher concentrations of whitening agents (typically 25-35% hydrogen peroxide) compared to over-the-counter products (usually 7-10%), which may provide more noticeable results.
Professional teeth whitening is performed under dental supervision, allowing for monitoring of the process and management of any concerns.
Professional treatment can be adjusted based on your individual needs and sensitivity levels.
In-chair treatments can provide results in a single appointment, while over-the-counter products typically require prolonged use.
Getting Philips Zoom Whitening typically involves a single appointment following an initial consultation at our practice. At your initial consultation, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure you're a suitable candidate for whitening treatment. We'll discuss your goals, explain the process, and answer any questions you may have.
On the day of your treatment, your lips and gums are carefully protected using a barrier, ensuring only your teeth are exposed to the whitening gel.
The Zoom whitening gel is applied to your teeth. The LED light is then positioned to activate the gel. This process may be repeated in 15-minute intervals, with the entire treatment typically taking about 45 minutes to an hour.
After the final application, the gel is removed and a fluoride treatment may be applied to help reduce sensitivity.

The longevity of teeth whitening results varies between individuals and depends on several factors, including your oral hygiene habits, diet, and lifestyle choices. With proper care, results from Philips Zoom Whitening may last between 12 to 24 months.
To help maintain your results, we recommend avoiding or limiting consumption of staining foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-coloured sauces. Avoiding tobacco products and maintaining regular dental cleanings can also help preserve your brighter smile.
To keep your teeth at your preferred shade, periodic touch-up treatments might be suggested. During your six-monthly check-ups at our Coffs Harbour or Woolgoolga practice, we can assess your teeth and discuss whether a touch-up treatment would be beneficial.
While many people are suitable candidates for Zoom teeth whitening, the treatment may not be appropriate for everyone. Professional teeth whitening may not be recommended for:
During your consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss whether teeth whitening treatment is suitable for you, or if alternative cosmetic options might be more appropriate for your situation.
When performed under professional supervision using approved whitening systems, teeth whitening should not damage healthy tooth enamel. The Philips Zoom Whitening system we use at Magic Smiles is designed to whiten teeth while minimising potential sensitivity.
However, it's important that whitening is only performed on healthy teeth. This is why a thorough examination is conducted before treatment to ensure there's no active decay, gum disease, or other oral health concerns that should be addressed first.
If you have concerns about tooth sensitivity or enamel health, please discuss these with your dentist during your consultation.
Professional teeth whitening offers several advantages compared to over-the-counter products:
Over-the-counter products can be effective for some people, but they typically require prolonged use and may not provide the same level of results as professional treatment.
Whitening treatments are effective solely on natural teeth. They will not change the colour of dental crowns, veneers, bridges, or tooth-coloured fillings.
If you have visible dental restorations, it's important to discuss this during your consultation. Your dentist will assess whether whitening your natural teeth might create a colour mismatch with existing restorations. In some cases, you may need to consider replacing restorations after whitening to match your new tooth colour.
For patients with extensive restorations in visible areas, alternative cosmetic options, such as veneers, might be more appropriate for achieving a uniform, brighter smile.
The Zoom teeth whitening procedure itself is not painful. However, some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment. The mild sensitivity experienced is temporary, typically disappearing within 24 to 48 hours.
The Philips Zoom LED light used in the treatment emits no heat or infrared rays, making the process more comfortable than some older whitening systems. Your dentist can provide products to help manage any sensitivity you might experience.
If you have concerns about sensitivity, please discuss this during your consultation. We can take steps to minimise discomfort during your treatment.
The degree of whitening achieved varies between individuals and depends on several factors, including your starting tooth colour, the nature of your tooth discolouration, and how your teeth respond to the treatment.
Professional teeth whitening can lighten teeth by several shades, but it's important to have realistic expectations. Your natural tooth colour, the type of staining present, and individual factors all influence the final result.
During your consultation, your dentist will discuss what level of whitening might be achievable for your teeth. We cannot guarantee specific results, as individual responses to whitening treatment vary.
We recommend avoiding heavily pigmented foods and beverages for at least 24-48 hours following your teeth whitening treatment. This includes:
During this initial period, your teeth may be more susceptible to staining as the tooth enamel is slightly more porous immediately after whitening. After this period, you can resume your normal diet, though being mindful of staining foods and beverages can help maintain your results longer.
Using a straw for beverages and rinsing your mouth with water after consuming staining foods can also help preserve your whitening results.
Zoom LED whitening and laser whitening are both professional in-chair treatments, but they use different technologies:
Zoom LED Whitening uses a specially designed LED light that emits no heat or infrared rays. It treats all visible teeth simultaneously, making the process comfortable and efficient.
Laser Whitening uses heat from a laser to activate the whitening agent, typically targeting each tooth individually. This can be more time-consuming and some people may experience discomfort from the heat.
Both methods can provide effective whitening results. At Magic Smiles, we use the Philips Zoom system because of its comfort, efficiency, and proven track record for safe, effective teeth whitening treatment.
Yes, we offer payment plans to help make cosmetic dental treatments, including professional teeth whitening, more accessible for our patients.
We understand that investing in your smile is an important decision. During your consultation, our team will provide clear information about treatment costs and discuss payment options that suit your circumstances.
