What Is Zoom Teeth Whitening?
Zoom teeth whitening is a professional-grade bleaching system that uses a powerful whitening gel activated by a special LED light. The Zoom system is designed to break down stains on the enamel and dentin, lifting years of discoloration caused by:
- Coffee, tea, and red wine
- Tobacco use
- Certain medications
- Aging and enamel thinning
- Foods with strong pigments (like berries or tomato sauce)
The procedure is fast, safe, and ideal for anyone looking to dramatically enhance their smile in a single appointment—perfect before weddings, reunions, job interviews, or any special event.

What to Expect During Zoom Whitening
Our Zoom whitening treatment is designed for comfort, efficiency, and immediate results. The process typically takes just about 60 minutes and includes:
- Pre-treatment exam – Dr. Henderson will assess your oral health to ensure whitening is appropriate for your teeth and gums.
- Preparation – We protect your lips and gums to isolate your teeth for the whitening process.
- Whitening application – The Zoom whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated with a specialized LED light. This process is repeated in 15-minute intervals, typically for a total of 3–4 sessions.
- Rinse and post-treatment care – After your whitening session, we apply a gel to reduce sensitivity and provide at-home care instructions to maintain your results.
Most patients see a difference of 6 to 8 shades whiter—instantly.

Is Zoom Whitening Right for You?
Zoom is safe and effective for most patients with good oral health and realistic cosmetic goals. It may be the ideal solution if:
- Your teeth are yellow or dull from aging or staining
- You have an upcoming special event
- You want dramatic results quickly
- You’ve tried drugstore products with limited success
- You’re looking for a safe, professionally monitored option
If you have restorations like crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, Dr. Henderson will advise you on how whitening will interact with those materials and if additional treatments are needed for color matching.
Maintain Your Whitening Results
To preserve your brighter smile, we recommend:
- Avoiding staining foods and drinks, especially in the first 48 hours after treatment
- Using a straw when drinking dark liquids
- Brushing with a whitening toothpaste approved by our office
- Regular dental cleanings and checkups
- Occasional at-home touch-ups with custom trays, if recommended
In-Office and Take-Home Teeth Whitening Options
At Denise Henderson DDS, we understand that every smile—and every schedule—is different. That’s why we offer both in-office Zoom whitening and custom take-home whitening kits, giving you the flexibility to choose what works best for your lifestyle.
Zoom In-Office Whitening
Our chairside Zoom whitening delivers immediate results, lightening teeth by several shades in just one visit. It’s ideal if you want a fast transformation before a special occasion or simply want to enjoy a brighter smile right away.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
Prefer to whiten gradually on your own schedule? Our take-home kits include custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel—far more effective and safer than over-the-counter alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Zoom whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients experience temporary sensitivity, but we take steps to minimize it with desensitizing products and careful monitoring throughout the process.
How long does whitening last?
With good oral hygiene and avoidance of stain-causing foods, results can last 12–24 months. We can provide touch-up options as needed.
Is Zoom whitening safe for my enamel?
Yes. When performed under professional supervision, Zoom is both safe and effective. It does not damage the tooth structure when used as directed.
Can I whiten my teeth if I have fillings or crowns?
Whitening won’t change the color of restorations, so we may discuss complementary options to ensure a uniform appearance.
