Asked Questions

How is exposure to the Zoom! Advance light controlled?
The
Zoom! Advance procedure requires that all soft tissue in and around
the mouth be protected. The clinician is required to monitor the
procedure to insure any exposed skin or tissue is isolated and protected.
Protective eyewear is required during the procedure.
Light
sensitive individuals, including those undergoing PUVA therapy (Psoralen+UV
Radiation) or other photochemotherapy, or patients with melanoma,
should not undergo the Zoom! Advance in-office procedure. Also patients
taking any light-sensitive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter,
prescription or homeopathic, should consult their primary care physician
prior to the procedure. Anyone who is not eligible for Zoom! Advance
Chairside Whitening for these reasons may be an excellent candidate
for Zoom! Advance Take-Home.
How
long does Zoom! Advance Chairside Whitening take?
The
complete teeth whitening procedure takes just over an hour. The procedure begins
with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five
minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. (A cleaning is
recommended prior to the actual Zoom! whitening session.)
