Details on Zoom! Teeth whitening...?
Question:
Answers:
Its pretty expensive. We used to use it in our office and we charged $550 or so. I've heard it even higher than that though. We now do something called deep bleaching. The problem with previous in office bleaching techniques is the lack of predictability. Some teeth would bleach well, while others only a little or none at all. The principle behind deep bleaching is that you condition the enamel to accept the bleach. We start with a strong in office bleach, 2 twenty minute treatments using a previously made set of whitening trays. We also use a special solution to help prevent sensitivity. The patient goes home with a less potent bleach and wears the trays for 2 weeks at night. The final session is the one that allows the "pop" in the whitening effect. 3 twenty minute treatments with the stronger in office bleach. It really works! I had a patient that we used both Zoom in office and then sent her home with trays and neither treatment touched her color. She had very resistant enamel and this new deep bleaching system lightened her several shades.
I know this probably means nothing to you, but you might tell your dentist about it. Deep bleaching: http://www.dentalmiracles.com
Zoom in-office usually runs anywhere from $199 if they're running a special to $500. I currently do Zoom for 2 dental offices and I wouldn't bother wasting my time using the in-office product on myself. I've rarely gotten what I would consider good reults. Patients do leave happy but I know they would get MUCH better results if they used they take-home product.
It will depend on the docter
"Val" is right. Zoom does not work any better than take-home kits and the light might actually be harmful if not used correctly.
Save your money. Many dentists offer take-home trays as a free promotion to attract new patients.
