Our Philips Zoom whitening options

So, what are your options for Philips Zoom whitening? Washington Elite Dentistry may recommend Zoom QuickPro to remove surface stains from food and drinks, or Zoom WhiteSpeed to manage deep discoloration caused by age and medications. In either case, the process is safe, quick, and minimally invasive. We also offer custom-fitted take-home trays for busy patients on the go. You can expect a gorgeous smile that is up to 6 – 8 shades lighter when working with our team.

What factors affect the longevity of Zoom whitening results?

As mentioned, Zoom whitening results last up to a year with proper care. However, some factors can impact this timeline, including:

• Genetics: Unfortunately, some individuals have naturally darker or yellow teeth. This means you may require frequent touch-ups to maintain the desired level of whiteness.
• Dietary habits: Consuming highly pigmented foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can shorten the lifespan of your results. We recommend limiting these items or rinsing your mouth after consuming them to minimize staining.
• Tobacco use: Cigarettes and similar tobacco products can quickly diminish Zoom whitening results. Dr. Berman strongly encourages patients to quit smoking for both their oral health and overall well-being.

How to maintain your Zoom whitening results

Want to make the most of your Philips Zoom whitening treatment in Washington, D.C? Try the following these tips:

• Avoid staining habits: As mentioned, limiting or avoiding highly-pigmented foods and drinks and quitting tobacco use can extend the longevity of your Zoom whitening results.
• Use touch-up products: Our take-home trays at Washington Elite Dentistry can maintain your outcomes between in-office treatments. Zoom touch-up products are simple and easy to use.
• Attend regular dental cleanings: Dr. Berman can remove surface stains and plaque buildup during regular dental cleanings. This can maintain the overall brightness of your smile.

Practice good brushing techniques

Brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste can prevent stains from forming on your newly whitened teeth. We recommend using an electric toothbrush for optimal plaque removal. Flossing daily can also help remove plaque or debris between teeth that can contribute to staining. When brushing and flossing, be sure to use gentle pressure to prevent damage to the teeth and gums.
