Teeth Whitening (Zoom Lamp)

In-office tooth whitening using a Zoom lamp to accelerate a professional whitening gel and lighten the natural shade of the teeth in a single appointment. Carried out by the dental team after a check that the teeth and gums are healthy, it is a controlled alternative to over-the-counter kits. Take-home tray whitening and single-tooth whitening for darkened, root-treated teeth are also offered. Results vary between individuals and are associated with temporary sensitivity.

Zoom in-office whitening at Gabinety 51 lightens the colour of the natural teeth using a professional-strength gel activated by a specialised lamp. After confirming the gums and teeth are healthy and protecting the soft tissues, the dentist applies the whitening gel and the lamp helps it work more quickly, so a noticeable change in shade can usually be achieved in a single visit. Because it is carried out under professional supervision, the strength of the gel and the protection of the gums are controlled in a way that home kits cannot match. For patients who prefer to whiten gradually at home, the practice also makes custom take-home trays for the upper and lower arch, supplied with whitening gel and the option of additional syringes to top up over time. A separate technique is used for individual teeth that have darkened after root canal treatment, whitening them from the inside over one or more visits. Whitening only affects natural tooth enamel — it does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or veneers — so existing restorations may need to be reviewed afterwards if a uniform shade is the goal. Temporary tooth sensitivity is common for a day or two and usually settles on its own. The dentist will advise whether whitening is suitable for you, as results depend on the starting shade and cause of discolouration, and the treatment is generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
