Walking down the dental aisle in your local pharmacy, consumers face dozens of teeth whitening options to choose from. It can be difficult to tell the difference between the multiple treatments available, and the same discerning issue applies to understanding professional teeth whitening. Zoom Teeth Whitening is one of the most popular whitening systems on the market today provided by professional dentists. The system can be expensive, and the exact price of Zoom bleaching lights can cost up to $2,000, depending on the charges from your dentist. While the system has a base price from the company, dentists often charge additional service fees for the treatment. The out of pocket costs of the whitening system will vary widely depending on the specific types of procedure that your dentist includes, such as an initial consultation, ongoing visits and value-add services such as specialized products to help restore the luster of your teeth well after the first visit.

The system utilizes a hydrogen peroxide solution at its base, which is activated to help whiten the teeth. Similar to many over the counter solutions, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the gel is much higher in the Zoom Teeth Whitening system. One of the reasons for the high costs of the system is a custom infrared light filter which emits an optimized wavelength (400 nm) violet light to activate the whitening process. Studies have shown that the halide light can help improve the impact of whitening, although the costs are significantly higher than alternative treatments. Depending on your budget, this additional cost may or may not justify the whitening benefit realized from the Zoom light-whitening process.

Another major element of the price of the Zoom treatment is that it takes up to 2 hours of a trained technician’s time. In many cases the treatment is performed directly by the dentist with multiple layers of application to ensure the most effective results. Patients are also giving additional tray whitening supplements to help continue the process at home which adds to the overall price. Many dentists offer the treatment for as low as $1,600, depending on the level of service provided. The training necessary for technicians to provide authorized Zoom bleaching is a core aspect of the additional cost. Consider the various benefits and costs of each bleaching option before deciding on the best solution for your needs.
