Philips Oral Healthcare is introducing the Zoom WhiteSpeed, a light-activated tooth-whitening system with different intensity settings for patients who have increased sensitivity, at the Greater New York Dental Meeting this week in New York City.
The product uses blue light-emitting diodes to whiten teeth up to eight shades in 45 minutes and delivers 40% better results compared with the company's non-light-enhanced whitening system, Philips Dash, according to the company.
Of the more than 500 patients who participated in testing of the new Zoom WhiteSpeed, 94% said they would recommend the treatment, and more than three-quarters said they felt little to no discomfort during the treatment. Zoom has provided more than 4 million people with a whiter smile.
Zoom WhiteSpeed also offers improved ergonomics with a new power cord wrap, knots, counterweight, and larger casters for easier moving, according to the company.
