Zoom vs. LED Whitening: Which Is Better for Your Smile?

When it comes to brightening your smile, the options can feel overwhelming. Two of the most talked-about treatments are Zoom Whitening and LED Whitening, but what’s the difference — and which is right for you?

What Is Zoom Whitening?

Zoom Whitening is a dental in-chair procedure that uses a strong hydrogen peroxide gel combined with a UV light. It's usually performed in dental clinics and known for producing dramatic results in one session.

Pros:

• High potency
• Rapid results (up to 8 shades lighter)

Cons:

• Often more expensive
• More likely to cause post-treatment sensitivity
• Requires dental clinic setting

What Is LED Whitening?

LED Whitening, like what we offer at High On Smile, is a gentler yet highly effective treatment using a professional-grade whitening gel and an LED blue light to accelerate results.

Pros:

• Safe and effective
• Lower sensitivity
• Suitable for sensitive teeth
• Offered in-studio or mobile

Cons:

• May require follow-up or touch-up sessions depending on lifestyle

Which One Is Best for You?

If you're looking for a comfortable, effective, and non-invasive whitening experience without the dental price tag, LED whitening is ideal. It's particularly recommended for clients with sensitive teeth or those wanting to whiten gradually and safely.

At High On Smile, we specialise in LED whitening treatments in Balmain and Sydney, providing noticeable results without compromising comfort.
