    Is it safe?

    The safest way to whiten teeth is by using gel prescribed by a dental professional.

    Whitening products that you can buy outside of your dentist only contain 0.1% hydrogen peroxide and very little active ingredient to whiten your teeth.

    Some products don’t contain any whitening ingredients and contain harmful ingredients such as lemon juice, citric acid and bicarbonate soda to dissolve stains which can be damaging to teeth in the long term.

    Therefore, ask your dentist for Philips Zoom! today.

    Professional products contains safe levels of hydrogen peroxide which are more effective, gentle on enamel and custom made

    How does it work? The tooth absorbs the hydrogen peroxide and breaks down the colour molecule to turn the tooth white from the inside as well as removing the stains from the outside

    Some sensitivity is normal however this can be reduced dramatically with the addition of desensitizing agents. Zoom! take home gels have a unique desensitizer known as ACP that is shown to reduce sensitivity without compromising on result. Twice as many users/patients reported no sensitivity when using NiteWhite ACP versus whitening without ACP.

Frequently asked questions


  • How does it work?

    You will come into the surgery for a clean and stain removal before we fit you with custom-made whitening trays. You’ll choose from DayWhite or NiteWhite, depending on when you want to wear the trays. You then wear the trays at home for two weeks.

  • How long will it take to see results?

    Your custom whitening trays will arrive in about a week, and then you can spend the next two weeks wearing them. You should start to see results within a few days.

  • How does it whiten?

    The whitening gel is absorbed into the tooth, where it whitens from the inside by dissolving stains. The ACP formula delivers sensitivity management and enamel protection.

  • Is it safe?

    Yes, clinical studies have shown that whitening your teeth under the supervision of a dental professional is safe for teeth and gums. The formulas provided are EU compliant.

  • What are the side effects?

    The most common side effect is sensitivity. The formulas contain ACP which are proven to reduce sensitivity. You will be assessed to ensure that you use the right concentration of formula for you.

  • How long will my whitening last?

    Whitening helps to reduce existing stains but lifestyle factors can cause teeth to become discoloured again. Maintenance whitening and routine hygiene visits can help combat recurring discolouration.
