The procedure is simple, but requires a trained clinician to administer. It begins with a short preparation to cover your lips and gums, leaving only your teeth exposed. The Zoom clinician then applies the proprietary Zoom whitening gel. The Zoom light is then pointed at the teeth and gel. The light and gel work together to gently penetrate your teeth, breaking up the stains and discoloration. The gel is applied for 3 15 minute sessions for a total treatment time of about 45 minutes. Zoom is clinically proven to whiten teeth up to 8 shades in about an hour. Learn more about Zoom and find a dentist at www.zoomnow.com.[1]
