Zoom Whitening.
Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed is an in-chair professional whitening system. After we record your starting shade and protect your gums and lips, a 25% hydrogen-peroxide gel is applied and activated by Philips' blue LED light — usually across three 15-minute sessions, around 45 minutes of whitening plus preparation. Philips reports the WhiteSpeed system is clinically proven to lighten teeth by up to eight shades in about 45 minutes; individual results vary with your starting shade and the cause of discolouration. When a same-day smile makeover is planned, we usually whiten first so any ceramic restorations can be colour-matched to your new shade. You'll go home with DayWhite or NiteWhite take-home trays to maintain and top up your result.

A closer look.
How zoom whitening is delivered.
- Step 01
Shade check & assessment
We record your starting tooth shade and confirm whitening is suitable for you. Existing fillings, crowns, and veneers won't change colour, so we plan around them.
- Step 02
Protect & prepare
Your lips and gums are isolated and protected so the whitening gel only contacts your teeth.
- Step 03
Whiten under the LED light
The professional-strength gel is applied and activated by Philips' blue LED light, typically in three 15-minute sessions. The light intensity is adjustable for your comfort.
- Step 04
Relief gel & take-home trays
A desensitising relief gel is applied to settle any sensitivity, and you're given DayWhite or NiteWhite trays to maintain and top up your result at home.
Risks & considerations
Transient tooth sensitivity and mild gum irritation are common for 24–48 hours after whitening; a desensitising relief gel is used during treatment to help, and the LED intensity is adjustable. Whitening lightens natural teeth only — it does not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers, or fillings, which may need replacing if a close shade match matters. Results vary with your starting shade and habits (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking), and a consultation confirms whether whitening is suitable for you.
All dental procedures carry potential risks and benefits. Individual results vary. A consultation with a registered dental practitioner is required to determine whether a treatment is suitable for you.
