Pre-Procedure Assessment
The patient was dissatisfied with the natural color of her teeth, which gave her smile a grayish tone.
During the examination, the dentist confirmed that:
- there were no contraindications related to the gums or enamel;
- the teeth were healthy, with no increased sensitivity;
- whitening could be performed according to the standard protocol without any preliminary treatment.
Procedure Workflow
- Professional oral hygiene was performed, including removal of plaque and calculus.
- Soft tissues and gingiva were isolated to protect them during the procedure.
- A whitening gel with a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide, safe for enamel, was applied.
- The gel was activated using the Zoom 4 ultraviolet light.
- Three cycles of 15–20 minutes each were carried out to achieve the optimal result.
The total duration of the procedure was approximately 90 minutes.
Results
- Initial tooth shade: 3R.
- Post-procedure shade: 1M.
- The smile became up to 10 shades lighter in a single visit.
- The enamel remained intact and healthy, and the patient reported no pronounced sensitivity after the procedure.
Why Zoom 4 Is Superior to Home Whitening and Older Systems
- The use of a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide reduces the risk of enamel damage.
- Short procedure time — only 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Immediate visible results after the appointment.
- Longer-lasting effect with proper post-whitening care.
Post-Whitening Recommendations
To maintain the results for as long as possible:
- avoid staining foods and beverages (coffee, black tea, berries, red wine) during the first 48 hours;
- use soft toothbrushes and non-abrasive toothpaste;
- maintain regular oral hygiene and attend preventive dental check-ups every 6 months.
