Zoom whitening is a quick chair-side whitening system.  Three sets of fifteen minute treatments are done in one visit.  The process begins with covering lips, gums, and tongue, leaving only the teeth exposed.  Zoom whitening gel, composed of hydrogen peroxide, is applied onto the teeth.  A special Zoom light is shined on the teeth, working together to penetrate the teeth.  The combination of the light and gel helps break up the stains and blemishes on the teeth, up to eight shades.  Zoom whitening has low sensitivity and is proven to be safe and effective.  A clinical study on the effect of Zoom whitening gel on enamel confirms that this system does not adversely affect the enamel.  Overall, Zoom offers an effective, innovative cosmetic teeth whitening system that provides excellent results.

The only difference is in each treatment's method of activating the solution that whitens your teeth. Some brands of one-hour whitening require a light to activate the solution. Other brands require a separate activating solution that mixes with the base to start the whitening process. All of them use 35% hydrogen peroxide to get the same exact results. There is no one method that is better than another.
