How Zoom!® Works
Zoom!® uses a professional whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide to safely break down stains and discoloration on the surface of the teeth. A specialized Zoom!® light activates the gel to accelerate the whitening process while minimizing sensitivity and discomfort.
This advanced treatment helps brighten both the enamel and dentin while keeping the teeth healthy and protected during the procedure.
Is Zoom!® Right for You?
Every smile is unique, and whitening results can vary depending on the condition of the teeth and the level of staining. During your consultation, Dr. Daly will evaluate your smile and determine if Zoom!® whitening is the best option for your needs.
For the safest and most effective results, whitening treatment is recommended only for patients with healthy teeth and gums.
How is the Zoom!® treatment performed?
Prior to treatment, there will be a consultation where the orthodontist will outline the exact procedure. On treatment day, a cleaning (prophylaxis) will be performed to rid the teeth of any debris and plaque. Then, special eyewear will be provided to protect the eyes from the halide light, and splashguards to protect the clothing from the bleaching agent. Here is a brief overview of the Zoom!® procedure:
Preparation & Protection
Before the Zoom!® treatment begins, your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove plaque and surface debris. Protective cheek retractors, eyewear, and gum barriers are carefully placed to keep you comfortable and shield sensitive areas during the whitening process.
Whitening Activation
A professional-strength whitening gel is applied to the teeth and activated using the Zoom!® light. This process helps break down stains and discoloration while brightening your smile evenly across all visible teeth.
Multiple Whitening Cycles
The whitening gel is refreshed in several short sessions throughout the appointment to maximize results safely and effectively. After the final cycle, the gel is removed and your smile is thoroughly rinsed and cleaned, revealing a noticeably whiter appearance.
Why Choose Daly Orthodontics for Zoom!® Whitening
Is the first visit really free?
Yes — completely free, with no hidden fees or obligation. Your first visit includes a full evaluation of your teeth and gums, where Dr. Daly will check for any sensitivity, decay, or staining that could affect your results. She’ll let you know if you’re a good candidate for Zoom!® Whitening and walk you through exactly what to expect before recommending any treatment — so you can make an informed decision with zero pressure.
How long does teeth whitening take?
Most Zoom!® Whitening treatments are completed in a single visit, typically lasting about an hour from start to finish, with results visible immediately after your appointment. Unlike take-home kits that require days or weeks of consistent use to see a noticeable difference, our in-office Zoom!® system delivers dramatic results in one sitting — ideal if you have an event, interview, or big occasion coming up and want to look your best fast.
Does teeth whitening hurt?
Zoom!® Whitening is designed to minimize sensitivity throughout, using advanced technology that targets stains while protecting your enamel and gums. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the appointment itself, though some mild, temporary sensitivity to hot or cold is common for a day or two afterward. Dr. Daly and her team monitor your comfort every step of the way and can adjust the treatment if you experience any irritation.
Can I combine teeth whitening with braces or Invisalign?
Yes, and many patients do. The most common approach is to complete orthodontic treatment first and get Zoom!® Whitening afterward, since this ensures even, consistent results across your entire smile once your teeth are in their final position. Whitening before or during treatment can sometimes create uneven shading around brackets or aligner edges. Ask Dr. Daly about the ideal timing for your specific case during your consultation.
