Why consider teeth whitening?
Your smile is the way you greet the world, but if it’s not as healthy or as white as you would like it to be you may not want to smile.
By choosing a whitening treatment from us for use at home, you can be assured of powerful yet safe results.
What can I expect to happen when I choose Philips Zoom! with us?
- Using Zoom! Whitening at home involves an initial dental appointment with one of our dentists. In this appointment they will assess your oral health to make sure you are dentally fit to use teeth whitening.
- We will then have a chat with you about what you hope to achieve from tooth whitening and check what products are suitable for your needs.
- If dentally fit we will then take impressions of your upper and lower teeth in order to produce your customised whitening trays. The trays will can typically take up to 2 weeks to arrive.
- You’ll have another appointment with us where we will check that the trays fit and are comfortable for you before showing you how to apply the whitening gel to the trays correctly as well as advice on the usage.
