The Zoom teeth whitening is fairly simple. The dentist records the current shade of your teeth. Then they polish your teeth removing plaque. The dentist applies a solution to the surface of your teeth to whiten them. This solution includes hydrogen peroxide or carbide peroxide. Then a  light is used to accelerate the peroxide. This usually lasts for 15 to 60 minutes. 

Take home whitening trays involves custom trays made from impressions of your teeth.  Whitening trays hold whitening gel in contact with the tooth but minimize contact with the remaining oral tissue.  These trays are usually worn for 1 hour for 14 days.   Take home whitening trays are generally less sensitive than Zoom whitening.
