About Zoom Teeth Whitening
Zoom teeth whitening is a professional, in-chair treatment that lightens the shade of your natural teeth using a controlled whitening gel and light-activation process, carried out by a qualified dental practitioner.
As with any cosmetic dental treatment, results vary from person to person depending on the original shade and condition of your teeth, and your dentist will assess your suitability during a consultation.
If you’re considering teeth whitening, book a consultation with our Melbourne-based team, who can explain the treatment process, expected timeframe, and any risks or limitations relevant to your individual case.
What to Expect
Our teeth-whitening program with Zoom involves a dental whitening process that is used around the world. Whitening products often consist of a strong hydrogen peroxide gel and a specialised lamp that restores discoloured enamel caused by ageing, food, drinks and bad habits.
The specialised lamp allows the peroxide to break down, enabling oxygen to set into the enamel and brighten teeth up to eight shades whiter. The Zoom dental whitening process is generally associated with minimal discomfort and doesn’t take long to perform. Our experienced teeth-whitening dentists in Melbourne provide professional care when it comes to dental whitening, as well as general excellence in cosmetic dentistry.
Post-Treatment Care
For 24 hours following the Zoom teeth-whitening process, avoid the use of:
- Nicotine: Cigarettes, cigars, vapes and other tobacco products
- Teeth-staining foods: Red meat, chocolate, all fruit and berries, and dark sauces
- Dark, staining drinks: Coffee, tea, wine, beer and fruit juice.
- Coloured toothpaste and mouthwash: White toothpaste and clear mouthwash is acceptable.
When it comes to what you can eat, white foods will be your friend. For the first 24 hours after you’ve received Zoom teeth whitening from our Melbourne clinic, you should eat a diet containing some or all of the following foods:
- Pasta and rice
- Chicken breast
- Potatoes
- White sauces
- Water and milk
- Egg whites
- Bananas
- Yoghurt
To ensure your smile stays bright and white between treatments, try using bleach tubes from Zoom. You can use these with custom whitening trays, which you can purchase from our dental hygienists or our friendly reception team in South Melbourne. For continued stain removal and the healthiest teeth and gums, look for a power toothbrush like the Sonicare DiamondClean or FlexCare. They’re proven to remove plaque better than manual brushes, helping you to maintain your beautiful white teeth and smile!

Dental Staining Causes
Dental staining and discolouration are a natural part of life and can happen due to age, diet, disease or tobacco consumption. As you age, your teeth can become discoloured as their enamel becomes thinner. There are also many foods and drinks that can stain and discolour those pearly whites. Soft drinks and coffee are among the common culprits.
Staining and discolouration can also happen due to specific medical conditions or dental trauma. Moreover, tobacco can yellow and stain your teeth, as well as cause gum disease.

Commonly Asked Questions
It’s recommended that you have our dentist assess the health of your gums and teeth to determine if Zoom teeth whitening is suitable for you. Your dentist will advise you on what a suitable professional course of action will be prior to starting the treatment.
For the most part,Zoom teeth whitening at our South Melbourne clinic is safe, but it must be applied correctly. Since a bleaching agent is involved, some possible side effects of a teeth whitening procedure can include gum damage, teeth feeling sensitive and irritable, and bleeding in the oesophagus and stomach if you swallow the bleach. This is why it’s imperative that you receive professional teeth bleaching in Melbourne.
There is no such thing as permanent teeth whitening, but teeth whitening usually lasts for several months. You can undergo further whitening treatments when your teeth eventually start naturally experiencing discolouration again. Results will vary from patient to patient.
After undergoing Zoom teeth whitening, Melbourne patients are recommended to not do any of the following, since these activities can affect teeth whitening and cause additional staining on your teeth:
- Smoke
- Drink coffee, tea, red wine or soft drink
- Eat highly coloured foods (such as berries and beetroot)
- Use mouthwash
The teeth whitening cost at our Melbourne clinic varies from patient to patient and is dependent on the specific procedures required. Professional teeth whitening can cost more than at-home treatments, but since these procedures are being performed by a teeth whitening dentist, costs related to this will be more than worth it due to the results. Our teeth whitening dentist in Melbourne will provide you with information relating to teeth whitening prices during your appointment.
