Zoom Whitening as the Finishing Touch in a Smile Makeover
cosmeticdentistry
Why in-office Zoom whitening is often the final step of a South Surrey smile makeover — and how we time it.
Whitening tends to be the smallest step in a smile makeover, but it's often the one people notice first in the mirror. Here's why we usually save it for the end.
Why timing matters
Porcelain veneers and crowns don't change colour once they're made. If we whitened after placing them, your natural teeth would end up brighter than your new ones. So we whiten first — or at the very end once all restorations are matched to the new shade.
What in-office Zoom whitening does
- Lifts years of coffee, tea, and wine staining in about an hour
- Brightens natural enamel several shades in a single visit
- Gives us a reliable target shade to match veneers and crowns to
More detail is in our teeth whitening guide.
What it won't do
- Whiten existing fillings, crowns, or veneers
- Fix deep internal discolouration from trauma or medication (that's a veneer or crown conversation)
- Last forever — expect occasional touch-ups, especially if you drink coffee or red wine
Comfort and sensitivity
Mild short-term sensitivity is common for a day or two. If your teeth are already sensitive, review our tooth sensitivity guide first — we can adjust the approach.
