Estero Bay Dental in Estero, FL is proud to offer Zoom Whitening. In-office Zoom tooth whitening can lighten teeth up to nine shades in just 45 minutes and can be used even with the most sensitive patient. Zoom is an in-office professional tooth whitening treatment that combines a proprietary whitening solution with a specialized light that helps remove surface stains and yellowing. Because the treatment is performed under professional supervision, the solution and treatment time can be adjusted and customized to fit patient needs.
More than 10 million patients have chosen Zoom Professional Tooth Whitening. In fact, Zoom is the most requested professional whitening system in America. Zoom is available only in dentist offices.
In a little under an hour, patients can achieve better results than are available with over-the-counter whitening treatments that can take several weeks to complete.
To get Zoom Tooth Whitening, you need to have a professional cleaning within the past six months. Ideally, you should have a cleaning before having whitening. In this way, your teeth will be free olaque and tartar to help you get the best results. Your dentist will place protective coverings over your lips and gums. The Zoom whitening gel will then be applied to your teeth for 15 minutes and a light placed over it to activate the gel. This cycle may be repeated up to four times, after which time your teeth may be lightened by as many as 6 to 10 shades. Individual results vary depending on many factors including your natural tooth color. Zoom Whitening works only on natural teeth – it can not be used for crowns or veneers.
To maintain your whitening treatment results, avoid drinking strongly colored beverages like red wine and coffee, as these can stain your teeth. You may also want to switch to a whitening toothpaste that will help remove stains that can accumulate each day. If you receive a Zoom at-home touch up kit or whitening pen, use it to maintain your results according to your dentist’s instructions.

Contact our Estero office today to schedule your whitening consultation.
The science behind Zoom! whitening is what sets it apart from other whitening options and makes it one of the most effective treatments available in professional dentistry today. The process begins with our team applying a protective barrier to your gums and lips to shield the soft tissue from the whitening agent. A hydrogen peroxide based whitening gel is then applied directly to the surface of your teeth. Once the gel is in place, the Zoom! light is positioned over your mouth and activated to accelerate the breakdown of stains and discoloration within the tooth enamel and dentin. The treatment is typically completed in three to four short sessions of about 15 minutes each, all performed during the same appointment. Between each session, fresh gel is applied to ensure consistent and thorough coverage across all visible tooth surfaces. By the end of your appointment, most patients achieve teeth that are several shades whiter than when they arrived. Our team will walk you through what to expect at every stage of the process so you feel completely comfortable and informed throughout your whitening session at Estero Bay Dental.
One of the most exciting aspects of Zoom! whitening is the immediacy and magnitude of the results patients experience. Most patients leave their Zoom! appointment with teeth that are anywhere from six to ten shades whiter than before treatment, though individual results vary depending on the nature and severity of the staining as well as the natural shade of the teeth. Extrinsic stains caused by food, beverages, and tobacco tend to respond particularly well to Zoom! whitening, while intrinsic discoloration caused by certain medications or developmental factors may require additional treatment options. During your consultation at Estero Bay Dental, we will evaluate your teeth and give you an honest assessment of the results you can realistically expect so there are no surprises. We will also discuss ways to maintain and extend your results after treatment, including take-home whitening trays that can be used periodically to keep your smile looking its brightest. Many patients find that combining their in-office Zoom! treatment with occasional touch-ups at home provides the longest-lasting and most consistently bright outcome over time.
Zoom! whitening is a safe and effective treatment for most adults who are looking to improve the brightness of their smile, but it is not the right solution for every situation. The best candidates for Zoom! whitening are patients who have healthy teeth and gums free of active decay or gum disease, as these conditions need to be addressed before any cosmetic whitening treatment is performed. Patients with significant tooth sensitivity may want to discuss this with our team prior to treatment, as whitening can temporarily increase sensitivity in some individuals. We offer desensitizing treatments that can be applied before and after your Zoom! session to minimize any discomfort. It is also important to understand that Zoom! whitening is effective on natural tooth enamel but will not change the color of existing crowns, veneers, bonding, or other restorations. Patients with these restorations in visible areas of the smile should discuss their goals with our team so we can help determine whether whitening alone will achieve the balanced result they are hoping for. At Estero Bay Dental, we take a personalized approach to every whitening consultation to ensure you receive the treatment that is truly best for your unique smile.
Getting the most out of your Zoom! whitening investment means taking a few simple steps to protect your results in the weeks and months following your appointment. In the first 48 hours after treatment, your teeth are particularly susceptible to restaining because the pores in the enamel remain slightly open as part of the whitening process. During this window, we recommend avoiding deeply pigmented foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, tomato sauce, and soy sauce. Tobacco use should also be avoided as it is one of the most significant contributors to tooth discoloration. After this initial period, practicing good oral hygiene habits including brushing twice daily with a whitening toothpaste and flossing every day will help keep surface stains from building up. Using a straw when drinking staining beverages can also reduce direct contact with the tooth surface and help preserve your results longer. Periodic touch-ups with the custom take-home whitening trays provided by Estero Bay Dental will allow you to refresh your smile as needed and maintain the level of brightness you achieved with your in-office Zoom! treatment.
