Professional Teeth Whitening - Safe and Effective
A patient was tired of a dull smile and came to us to brighten her teeth. We recommended professional whitening with the Philips Zoom 4 system, a modern method that safely and comfortably lightens teeth by several shades.
Before whitening, we performed a professional dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. This step is essential. Without it, the whitening gel can work unevenly and the shade may turn out patchy. Clean teeth allow the gel to penetrate evenly across the surface, resulting in a brighter, more stable outcome.
Philips Zoom 4 uses cool LED light to activate the whitening gel. This enhances the whitening effect without overheating the teeth and gums, reducing the risk of sensitivity and enamel damage.
Results. The tooth shade became noticeably lighter, the smile looks fresher and well cared for, and the procedure was comfortable and safe for the teeth.
Professional whitening can lighten teeth by 3 to 8 shades, reducing stains and yellowing and making the smile look noticeably brighter. The effect typically lasts from 1 to 3 years, depending on diet and oral care. To maintain the result, the procedure is usually recommended no more than once a year. Temporary sensitivity may occur, but it typically resolves quickly.
