Arch Clinic
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is one of the first things people notice. At Arch Dentistry, we offer Philips Zoom! Teeth Whitening—a safe, effective, and scientifically advanced method to brighten your teeth and rejuvenate your smile. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or simply want to boost your confidence, Zoom! delivers visible results within a single two-hour appointment.
Philips Zoom!
A professional Philips Zoom! teeth whitening treatment is completed in one visit and typically takes around 90-120 minutes. It involves the application of a whitening gel activated by light to improve results - expect up to 8 shades lighter in one session.
Home Treatment
We also provide custom-fitted take-home whitening trays, allowing you to whiten your teeth gradually. This is often a great way to maintain the results achieved following professional Philips Zoom! teeth whitening treatment.
Timing
Teeth whitening is often recommended before restorative or aesthetic dental treatments such as veneers, crowns, or composite bonding. By brightening your natural teeth first, we’re able to match your whitened, rejuvenated smile.

Workflow
What to Expect
We take a series of photographs and record the baseline shade of your natural teeth.
We start your treatment using the EMS® Prophylaxis Master unit to remove all gross staining and contaminants from your teeth. We prepare all the surfaces of your teeth by removing the biofilm, which allows better penetration of the active whitening gels and a more homogenous result.
Following the cleaning and preparation of your teeth we apply Zoom! teeth whitening gel to your teeth. The gel is then activated with the Zoom! teeth whitening lamp for 20 minutes.
After each 20 minute session your result will be evaluated. Together with your dental therapist you will decide whether to end the treatment or to continue further. This process may be repeated up to four times.
After the final session the gels are removed and we proceed to take another series of photographs.
Before you are released to the envy of the world we apply a clear desensitising gel onto your new sparkling smile. You also receive a homecare kit which includes a toothbrush, teeth whitening toothpaste and a clear desensitising gel.
Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. When performed by a dental professional, teeth whitening using Philips Zoom! is both safe and effective. The treatment is clinically proven to cause minimal sensitivity, and your gums and soft tissues are protected throughout the process.
With good oral hygiene and occasional maintenance (such as touch-up treatments or with at-home whitening trays), results can last 12 to 24 months. Avoiding staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can help extend the longevity.
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after treatment. Philips Zoom! contains amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), which helps reduce sensitivity and improve enamel smoothness and shine.
Results vary depending on your natural tooth shade and lifestyle habits, but most patients see a difference of 6–8 shades lighter after a single in-office treatment.
Teeth Whitening is safe for most healthy adults, but it's not recommended for children under 16, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or individuals with untreated cavities or gum disease. A brief consultation will help us determine if you’re a good candidate.
Zoom! Teeth Whitening works best on extrinsic stains caused by food, drink, and smoking. Intrinsic stains (e.g., from medications or trauma) may be more resistant, and in some cases, alternative cosmetic options like veneers or resin bonding may be recommended.
