Teeth Whitening Options: Zoom vs. Opalescence Compared
Making your smile brighter can dramatically impact your self-confidence while also transforming how you interact with the people you encounter every day. If your teeth have become dull, stained, or yellowed over time, Dr. MitzAnn Edmond and the skilled team at Elevation Dental Studio can help you with advanced professional teeth whitening. When considering Zoom vs. Opalescence, it helps to understand how they both work so you can choose the best option for you.
What Causes Teeth Discoloration, and Can It Be Reversed?
The aging process causes teeth to expose the yellowish dentin beneath your dental enamel. However, teeth can also become stained or discolored from any of these:
- Your diet
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Some medications can discolor teeth
- Practicing poor oral hygiene
Can Anyone Do Professional Teeth Whitening?
Dr. Edmond will evaluate your oral health to ensure teeth whitening is safe. Most people can safely whiten their teeth, but professional teeth whitening is not recommended for children under 16, pregnant women, or nursing mothers. Also, if you have cavities or gum disease, Dr. Edmond will need to treat these issues first. In rare cases, individuals can be allergic to the whitening agents used.
How Does Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed Work, and What Results Can I Expect?
For fast and dramatic results, Zoom is the cutting-edge choice for teeth whitening at our office. We will apply a gel made with hydrogen peroxide and activate it with a special LED light. The gel penetrates your dental enamel to break down tough stains. For many people, Zoom whitening can lighten teeth by up to eight shades in just one session.
What Is Opalescence GO Whitening, and How Is It Different from In-Office Teeth Whitening?
Opalescence GO is an at-home teeth-whitening option. This method utilizes pre-filled trays containing whitening gel. You should wear the trays for 15 to 30 minutes daily to gradually achieve whiter teeth.

How Long Do the Results of Professional Teeth Whitening Last?
This depends largely on your habits and oral hygiene. Most patients can expect their teeth to remain bright for six months to one year. To keep your smile white and shining, avoid foods and beverages that cause staining, including coffee, tea, red wine, and food that has food dyes.
