Zoom Tooth Whitening for $600

Submitted by Meg Wilson on April 3, 2007 - 07:30.

If you'd like whiter teeth and have some cash to spare, the Zoom tooth whitening procedure at dental offices can be a much quicker and more effective method of tooth whitening than a
tube of UltraBrite but it's also a lot more expensive at an average cost of $600.

The Zoom! system was founded by Dr. William Dorfman and today you can find Zoom dental offices in most large cities in North America. The Zoom procedure takes just an hour in a dentists chair. It involves a UV light together with hydrogen peroxide.

The Miami Herald has just interviewed one happy client, Deborah Merry, age 37 and a devout coffee drinker who was unhappy with her gray teeth. A week after the procedure she said her teeth looked amazing. Merry didn't experience any thermal sensitivity but this is a common side effect. She says she's going to wear her dark brown lipstick to make her teeth really stand out.

I had this done and it was more like 300, not 600. I experienced the "dehydrated" white look and the dentist and his assistants were all "excited" about my improvement. But, yes, an hour or 2 later, they were not as white as when everyone was raving about the improvement. I never experienced heat sensitivity, but while in the chair, it was actually rather unpleasant. I had what they called "zingers" that felt like sharp pains going through my teeth... they were the tooth equivalent of getting accidentally zapped on the arm. They did not feel good AT ALL. In the end, I wouldn't do it again for any price. The results were mediocre; the pain was not worth it.

Zoom did not work for me at all

When my dentist recomended me for the Zoom treatment and told me it will make my teeth milk white, I was very excited.
I have been going to this dentist for years and I had lots of trust in him. Well I went and got the Zoom treatment. It looked good only the first day but the root was always yellowish. I have talked to my dentist and he assure me once I start using the home theapy it will become whiter and whiter.
After applying couple of home treatment with the bleaching cream, my teeth has became very sensitive and it looks still the same (very yellow)
I want to call my dentist and ask for the money back.
