In-Chair Teeth Whitening

CHOOSE DENTISTRY IN CANTERBURY

Efficient whitening for special occasions

If you have an upcoming event or special occasion, our in-chair whitening treatment may be a suitable option. The appointment typically takes approximately 90 minutes and is designed to fit into your schedule.

How the procedure works

The in-chair whitening process generally involves a professional clean (if required), followed by the application of a high-concentration whitening gel. A specialised LED light is often used to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process.

While individual results vary depending on the starting shade and cause of discolouration, many patients observe a noticeable difference in the brightness of their teeth upon completion of the appointment.

Questions about teeth whitening

Philips ZOOM! is a popular in-chair cosmetic procedure designed to whiten teeth efficiently. The treatment targets stains and discolouration caused by aging, genetics, or lifestyle factors like smoking and the consumption of dark liquids (such as coffee and red wine). Results vary by patient but can be maintained with proper care and home maintenance.

Professional ZOOM! whitening consists of a preparation phase to protect the gums, followed by the application of a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel. The Philips ZOOM! Blue LED light is then shone onto the teeth to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. The entire appointment typically takes around 90 minutes and allows many patients to see visible results in just one visit.

When performed by a qualified dental professional, the ZOOM! procedure is considered a safe treatment option. However, as with any dental procedure, there are potential side effects. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation following treatment. These symptoms generally subside shortly after the procedure.

Professional whitening involves high-concentration bleaching agents and is not suitable for everyone. We generally do not recommend the procedure for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have untreated tooth decay, gum disease, or are under the age of 16.

Rest assured knowing your safety is our priority.
