The Zoom! Teeth Whitening System uses a unique hydrogen peroxide based tooth whitener. The product consists of two different components, a 32% hydrogen peroxide gel and an activator. The two components have to be mixed together in the right proportion to form a working gel with a 25% concentration of hydrogen peroxide, with a pH level between 7.5 and 8.5.
As a part of the procedure, the Zoom! Teeth Whitening System requires the use of a mercury metal halide light for bleaching. According to Discus Dental Inc, the wavelength of the light emitted from its units is in the range of 350-400 nm. The light is violet in color. The manufacturer claims that the mercury metal halide light with this wavelength activates the Zoom! Teeth Whitening System, speeding up the bleaching process and enhances its performance.
The light unit in the Zoom! System comes with a built-in infrared filter. The filter helps in minimizing the amount of heat generated at the surface of the teeth from the light during the bleaching process by filtering the emissions. The Zoom! Teeth Whitening System is capable of whitening both the upper and lower teeth simultaneously with a strategically placed bleaching light.
Zoom! has been tested over a long period of time and the patients who have used it did not report any significant change in the temperature of their teeth during the bleaching treatment. The light is mild, yet effective. How much does the Zoom! bleaching light cost?
The exact price of the Zoom! bleaching light might be difficult to predict, but your dentist might have paid in excess of about $1500 for it. This price will help you estimate what you’ll have to pay for your treatment.
