Zoom In-Chair Teeth Whitening Procedure
Zoom Teeth Whitening Consultation
We begin with a dental check-up to review your oral health and hygiene. This confirms that you’re a good candidate for Zoom in-chair whitening and helps us plan the best treatment for you.
Preparation for Zoom Teeth Whitening
We start by checking your current tooth shade against the Zoom colour scale and discussing how white you’d like your teeth to be. Based on your needs, your Zoom whitening dentist prepares a treatment plan.
The Whitening Process with Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed
We start by applying a hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth. This gel removes stains from the surface of your teeth.
Next, we use the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed LED light to speed up the whitening process. The lamp’s settings can be adjusted to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment.
Processing Time with Philips LED Accelerator
The Zoom in-chair whitening session typically takes about 45 minutes, with four 15-minute applications under the LED lamp.
After your teeth get a lighter shade, we apply a gel to help with sensitivity issues and protect your enamel. You’ll also get an at-home kit with sensitive toothpaste to ease any discomfort.

FAQs About Zoom Teeth Whitening
Does teeth whitening cause any dental problems?
This process is entirely painless and extraordinarily safe while still offering an immensely effective result.
Side effects are extremely minimal. However, in some cases, some individuals may experience some increased tooth sensitivity. This side effect is only temporary and usually subsides within a few hours. In rare instances, this sensitivity may last for a couple of days. This discomfort is not a cause for any concern as it will subside eventually.
It’s important to note that we will address these heightened sensitivities in our Essendon clinic with various products designed to reduce any issues. This support effectively makes in-clinic whitening much safer than at-home kits purchased through online or retail outlets.
How well does teeth whitening by a dentist work?
More and more people are taking non-professional approaches to achieve a brighter smile at an exceedingly low cost. Many are unsure about seeking out whitening from a professional dentist; they wonder if it’s worth the effort and the price. However, it would be best if you always prioritised the health of your teeth. Seeing a qualified professional in oral health is a much safer way of approaching treatment.
In Australia, dental clinic whitening is far more effective due to the higher levels of hydrogen peroxide permitted in the whitening gel used by professionals. Due to the protective laws created to protect consumers, only dental professions who have gained the necessary years of qualifications and training can handle these levels of hydrogen peroxide. These laws make in-chair whitening significantly faster and much more effective.
Having an experienced team member from our Essendon dental surgery conducting this treatment ensures you’re getting great results that don’t sacrifice tooth strength and health.
Why can only dentists use high strength whitening gels in Australia?
Australia has enacted many laws to protect citizens from potentially harming themselves with harsh chemicals. Hydrogen peroxide is the main bleaching ingredient in teeth whitening products. However, only dental professionals are permitted to use it in high dosages. The Australian Dental Association (ADA) issued a policy to forbid non-professionals from using these high levels of bleaching agents.
Dentists at our Essendon dental clinic are highly trained and qualified. This level of expertise gives them the ability to use high levels of hydrogen peroxide on patients without causing any damage. Our high level of skill and experience will ensure painless, effective and long-term results in just one visit.
How much should a teeth whitening procedure cost?
In-chair and take-home whitening systems differ in cost depending on the individual and their unique dental needs.
At your consultation, we will assess the likely overall cost of your treatment and give you an on-the-spot quote.
Because your dental health is our priority, we often require an oral hygiene appointment before undertaking whitening treatment. Any dental services required before undergoing whitening procedures will be at an extra cost. To obtain your brighter and whiter smile, we require a $200 deposit when you secure your booking.
Cosmetic treatments may not be claimable through your health insurance. Please speak to your health fund to confirm.
