Why I Recommend This Whitening Lamp Upgrade to Every Dentist I Train
By Dr. Elijah Turner, Clinical Educator and Dental Technology Advisor, Seattle, WA
In the last eight years, I’ve trained over 600 dentists across the Pacific Northwest — from fresh graduates opening their first practices to seasoned professionals upgrading their workflows. One topic that consistently comes up in whitening training sessions? The Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed lamp.
It’s the industry standard for in-office whitening. Fast. Powerful. Predictable results.
But it has one major flaw that most dentists don’t discover until it’s too late.
The Inconvenient Truth About Zoom Chips
When you buy a Zoom WhiteSpeed lamp, you think you’ve made a one-time investment. What most clinicians don’t realize is that the lamp’s performance is controlled by internal chips. These chips limit the lamp to just four sessions — after that, it locks itself until a new chip is installed.
If you’re seeing multiple whitening patients daily (which many cosmetic practices do), these chips run out fast. And replacing them? That’s an expensive and time-consuming process that adds up month after month.
The Solution Dentists Are Turning To
During a workshop in Seattle last year, one of my students asked, “Isn’t there a way to bypass the chip and just use the lamp freely?”
At the time, I didn’t have a great answer. But now I do.
There’s a tool I now recommend to every dentist I mentor — it’s called
👉 Crack zoom light.
This small, non-invasive adapter connects directly to the Zoom lamp and permanently removes the session limit, giving you full, unrestricted use.
Why It’s a Smart Move — Especially for Growing Practices
Let’s break it down:
- You eliminate chip costs completely. No more tracking usage or ordering replacements.
- No lamp lockouts. Whitening treatments stay on schedule, every time.
- ROI skyrockets. Clinics that invest in Crack zoom light often see the cost recovered within 2–3 weeks.
And best of all? You don’t have to open the machine or tamper with its internal software. The adapter works externally, making it a safe and smart upgrade.
My Message to New Dentists and Practice Owners
If you’re building a cosmetic practice or want to scale your whitening services, don’t let hardware limitations hold you back. I’ve seen too many dentists frustrated by equipment they didn’t know was intentionally restricted.
Tools like Crack zoom light aren’t just clever add-ons — they’re essentials for running a modern, efficient dental business.
Get the full potential out of the technology you already own. Your patients (and your bottom line) will thank you.
