About the Procedure

The procedure has been perfected through years of dental use. Your gums are carefully protected with a special covering, and then our unique hydrogen peroxide whitening gel is applied by your dental professional. Once on your teeth, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into stain-fighting radicals that break the molecular bonds making up stains, on and in your teeth. The intense light of the Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed Whitening LED Accelerator shining on our whitening gel helps these stain-fighting radicals whiten faster. The Accelerator light increases whitening results by an amazing 40%
