Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to do?
Normally Home Whitening takes 1 to 1.5 hours a day for 8 days to achieve good results. However, you are able to whiten them by as much or as little as you wish. This means that for extra white results, you may have to buy a couple more gels for a few days more whitening. The gel syringes cost £25 each making additional whitening relatively inexpensive.
Does it damage the enamel?
Extensive research has shown that the structure of the enamel remains unchanged after tooth whitening. So no known damage occurs to the tooth.
How long do the results last?
Normally the results last for at least 3-4 years under normal circumstances.
However smoking and/or tea coffee consumption may discolour the teeth faster. Often the discolouration is just on the surface and can easily be removed with a hygiene clean. However, if the tooth structure has discoloured, it is still possible to reverse, simply by doing additional whitening for a few days.
Does it hurt?
Some mild sensitivity occurs in a few cases. This is similar to the cold sensitivity experienced with ice cream. The fades away after the 8 days of whitening is completed.
Can fillings and crowns be whitened?
Fillings and crowns cannot be whitened. If filling and crowns are present in the in an area that is visible and the colour difference is unacceptable, they must be replaced after the whitening process. If this is not accepted, the whitening must not be carried out.
Which type of whitening is better?
Both Enlighten and Zoom In Surgery Whitening have their pros and cons.
Zoom In Surgery Whitening is ideal for anyone in a hurry or if they feel that they may not be able to do the treatment at home.
However many dentists feel that, provided that a patient has the time, that Enlighten gives the best whitening results.
Why should I whiten through my dentist?
Our clinicians are trained to carry out the Zoom In Surgery to a high standard. You can be sure that we we will get the best result that the Zoom system is capable of.
What are the possible side effects of in surgery laser whitening?
The most common side effect is slight tooth and gum sensitivity. Your dentist is your best resource to ensure that you are a good candidate for whitening and that you are using the right concentration of whitening formula. Philips Zoom at-home whitening products have two mild desensitizing agents, potassium nitrate and Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP), to minimize tooth sensitivity.
What kind of results should I expect?
While results vary from person to person, your smile will be noticeably whiter with Philips Zoom. With Philips Zoom White-Speed, you can get up to eight shades whiter teeth in one 45-minute office visit. Philips Zoom Day-White and Nite-White offer a dramatically whiter smile in one to two weeks. Some top up may be needed if you want the shade to be even whiter.
"I was amazed at how easy and effective the whitening process was. My smile has never looked better!"
