Tend patients can now access Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed, which combines the power of hydrogen peroxide (HP) and advanced blue LED light technology to achieve brilliant results

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.  , Jan. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, announced a collaboration with Tend®, a top-rated and in-demand full service dental practice, to bring Philips Zoom!, the No.1 patient-requested professional whitening brand in the U.S. ¹, to Tend's national network of dental offices. Tend's clinicians will now be able to offer their patients Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed, a light-accelerated treatment clinically proven to whiten patients' teeth up to eight shades in 45 minutes ².

Philips Zoom! in-office whitening offers dramatic results in minimal time, making it a superior choice for both patients and dental professionals. The advanced blue LED light technology used in Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed targets stain components that hydrogen peroxide alone cannot, enhancing the whitening process. This technology not only speeds up the whitening process but also ensures safe, consistent and reliable results, with little to no sensitivity for most patients. Tend's wide client base is now able to book these premium whitening treatments, and see results in under one hour, while they are still in the chair. As the demand for cosmetic whitening grows, Tend is poised to deliver yet another dental tech innovation to their patients.

"Our partnership with Tend highlights our shared commitment to improving people's health and well-being through meaningful innovation and a superior patient experience," said Matina Vidalis, Senior Marketing Director, Consumer & Professional Oral Healthcare, Philips North America. "We're excited to collaborate with Tend's network of dental professionals to provide evidence-based whitening solutions, helping more people love and take care of their smiles."
