What does the process involve and how long will it take?
Following your Healthy Mouth Assessment with one of our dentists, if everything is okay, we will take impressions for your whitening trays and book you in for your whitening appointment. Once in the surgery we will protect the soft tissue of your mouth and gums. Protective glasses are worn and a PH booster and whitening gel is then applied to your teeth and activated with the Zoom LED light. The process will then be repeated. At the end of the session you will be instructed how to safely use the trays and gel at home to achieve the best results for your whiter smile.

Are there any side effects?
Some patients may experience some sensitivity during and after treatment. Sometimes minor tingling is experienced immediately after the procedure but this should disappear the day after treatment. At tooth+ if you are prone to sensitivity we will provide you with free sensitivity relief gel to take home with you.

Going Home
As well as the free sensitivity gel, we will also provide you with an after care sheet advising which food/drink is best avoided for 48 hours after treatment and a free follow up appointment will be made for you.

How effective is treatment and how long will it last?
With just a little bit of aftercare your teeth will always be whiter than they were before treatment. At tooth+ we recommend that you back up your Zoom tooth whitening with our home tooth whitening trays as often as you are advised by your dentist as part of your treatment plan. This will mean that you achieve and maintain your new white smile for much longer.
