This professional procedure is carried out in the dental clinic under controlled and supervised conditions to change the colour of natural teeth.
What Is Zoom In-Chair Whitening?
Zoom In-Chair Whitening involves the application of a whitening gel to the teeth while the patient is seated in the dental chair. The process is monitored by a dentist or trained dental staff, and a light may be used to assist the whitening process. Treatment is completed during a single appointment rather than over several days at home.
Zoom In-Chair Whitening can only be performed by a registered dental practitioner, as it involves products and equipment that require professional supervision for safe and accurate use.
Who May Be Suitable for Zoom In-Chair Whitening
Zoom In-Chair Whitening is not suitable for everyone. The dentist will first check your oral health to see whether the procedure is appropriate for you. Factors that may be considered include:
- Oral health: Teeth and gums should be free from untreated decay, fractures, or infection.
- Gum and enamel condition: Whitening may not be suitable if you have active gum disease or significant enamel wear.
- Restorations: Fillings, crowns, and veneers do not change colour during whitening.
- Medical factors: Whitening is often delayed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Sensitivity: Patients with strong reactions to temperature or products may need extra care or an alternative approach.
- Understanding of the process: It’s important to be aware that results vary and some sensitivity may occur.
A dental examination helps confirm whether Zoom In-Chair Whitening is a safe and suitable option for your situation.
