A bright, white smile can make a big difference in how you feel about yourself and how others see you.

How Zoom Teeth Whitening Works
At Highland Dental Studio, your comfort and safety come first, especially when it comes to cosmetic dentistry treatments like teeth whitening. Before we begin your Philips Zoom Whitening session, our dental team will carefully check your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy for the treatment. If there are any issues such as cavities, gum inflammation, or infection, we’ll treat those first to prevent discomfort and ensure the best possible results.
Once you're all set, here’s what you can expect during your Zoom whitening appointment:
- Thorough Cleaning: We start by gently cleaning and polishing your teeth. This removes any surface stains or plaque, so the whitening gel can work more effectively on your actual enamel.
- Lip Protection: A soft, protective balm is applied to your lips to prevent irritation during the procedure.
- Mouth Preparation: A small retractor is placed in your mouth to hold your lips back and keep the teeth fully visible. We’ll also position a comfortable bite block and rest tray for your tongue.
- Choosing Your Shade: Before whitening begins, we’ll help you choose your ideal tooth shade using a guide, so you can see your "before" and celebrate your "after."
- Safety Measures: We take a quick photo to document your starting point. Then we place gauze to keep the area dry and protective glasses to shield your eyes from the Zoom light.
- Gum Barrier Application: A special gel is carefully applied to your gums to protect them from the whitening solution.
- Whitening Gel Application: The Zoom whitening gel is then brushed onto your teeth. It contains a powerful, safe ingredient that targets stains and discoloration.
- Light Activation: A special Zoom LED light is directed at your teeth to activate the gel and speed up the whitening process. This step is done in short intervals, usually over the course of about 45 minutes.
Who Can Benefit From Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Individuals who have yellow stains on their teeth from aging, tobacco, dark cola, tea, coffee, or red wine see remarkable results from Zoom teeth whitening treatment. Those with gray shading from certain chemicals will see results, but not too remarkable. Apart from them, almost anyone with stains on their teeth can benefit from the treatment. However, the results may vary for every patient. During the personalized shade assessment, your dentist will determine the ideal shade of teeth whitening that you will be able to achieve. For patients also considering orthodontics treatment can be coordinated to enhance both the alignment and brightness of your smile.
