Wicked White vs. Zoom Whitening: What's the Difference?
Wicked White and Zoom are two professional teeth whitening systems you'll see offered in the Quinte region. They're both professional treatments — but they work differently, and they're offered in different settings. Here's a neutral side-by-side. At The Smile Bar in Belleville, a Wicked White Pro session is $200 + HST and runs about 1.5 hours.
| Wicked White Pro | Zoom | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it's offered | Whitening studios like The Smile Bar in Belleville | Dental offices |
| How it works | Professional whitening gel applied in-studio — no UV light is used | Light-activated system — a lamp is used to activate the gel |
| The gel | Neutral-pH (pH 7.0) gel, designed with sensitive teeth in mind | Professional dental whitening gel, applied and monitored by dental staff |
| At The Smile Bar | Sessions run about 1.5 hours; $200 + HST | Not offered here — ask a dental office for their pricing |
Which one is right for you? That depends on your teeth, your sensitivity, and your preference. Clients who are concerned about sensitivity often ask about Wicked White Pro because its gel is neutral-pH and designed with sensitive teeth in mind, and no light is involved. Clients who prefer treatment inside a dental office, alongside their regular dental care, often choose an in-office system like Zoom.
Either way, both systems whiten natural teeth only — crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour with any whitening treatment.
