Teeth Whitening Zoom 4

Teeth whitening with the ZOOM 4 system – is an effective and safe procedure that allows you to lighten the enamel by 5-8 tones in just 1 session. At the same time, there is no risk of overheating the soft tissues and additional strengthening of the upper shell of the teeth is guaranteed.

The procedure is suitable for most patients, including smokers and people with increased tooth sensitivity. Today, the ZOOM 4 whitening technology is considered one of the most effective and at the same time the most gentle.

ZOOM 4 – is a new development of the American brand Philips. It provides teeth whitening by penetrating the enamel with active oxygen molecules that destroy the pigment.

The system consists of 3 components:

• LED lamp;

• hydrogen-containing gel;

• enamel-strengthening agent.

At the beginning of the procedure, a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth. Under the influence of cold blue light, it is activated – active oxygen molecules are released, which penetrate into the deep layers of the enamel and destroy the pigment that has accumulated there. At the same time, other substances in the gel (calcium phosphate) fill the cavities that formed after the destruction of the pigment, thereby strengthening the enamel.

Compared to previously used methods, teeth whitening with the ZOOM 4 system is more effective and safer. Firstly, it provides enamel lightening by 5-8 tones. Secondly, due to the use of a cold light lamp, it eliminates the risk of burning the gums and overheating the pulp.

ZOOM 4 is an updated version of the system. The developers reduced the hydrogen peroxide content from 35 to 25%, which allowed to further reduce the aggressive effect on the enamel, while maintaining the high efficiency of the procedure.

The second change is the addition of calcium phosphate to the gel, which strengthens the tooth enamel by filling the cavities that form after the destruction of the pigment.

The manufacturers also reduced the time required for teeth whitening from 90 to 45 minutes, and ensured a reduction in the period of tooth hypersensitivity to less than 12 hours.

Thus, the advantages of teeth whitening with the ZOOM 4 system are:

• lightening of the enamel by 5-8 tones in 45 minutes;

• complete safety of the procedure;

• additional strengthening enamel;

• results last up to 2 years.

Before teeth whitening, it is advisable to make an appointment with a dentist in advance. The doctor must assess the condition of the teeth and gums and rule out any contraindications to the procedure.

To make the whitening process as effective as possible, the dentist may recommend that you first:

• professional teeth cleaning – removal of hard plaque and tartar;

• remineralization of teeth to strengthen enamel;

• treatment of caries.

• 

Teeth whitening with the ZOOM 4 device requires only 1 visit to the dentist. The procedure takes no more than an hour and is completely comfortable and painless.

It is performed as follows:

1. Thin protective films are applied to the patient's lips and gums, covering them from the effects of the gel and lamp.

2. The first layer of gel is applied to the teeth.

3. The ZOOM 4 lamp is turned on for 10-15 minutes, shining directly on the teeth.

4. Then the second layer of gel is applied and the lamp is turned on again.

5. If more light is needed, the manipulation is repeated once more.

6. After the procedure, a product is applied to the teeth that helps strengthen the enamel and reduce sensitivity.

As a rule, one session is enough for patients to get the desired result. But sometimes, if maximum whitening is required, the dentist may allow the procedure to be repeated after 1-2 months.
