Zoom Teeth Whitening System

I was never warned in advance and had no expectation that the session would be so uncomfortable.

* I found the plastic device to hold mouth open, and gauze tucked between teeth and gums to be uncomfortable.

* I did have a few very brief "zingers" as I hear them described in these reviews, but fortunately they were very brief, just half a second - (a burning sensation) - and when I mentioned them to the dental assistant she said she had vitamin e oil that she could paint onto an area if the stinging persisted (which I didn't).

* but I had a very hard time tolerating the last 20 minute session (of 3) - becuase my mouth felt so extremely dry, and the gauze and mouth opening device hurt increasingly.

* day after, my lower gums and inside of lower lip feel very "raw" and painful. I hope it goes away.

* I am scheduled for teeth cleaning today - I'm afraid it will really hurt.

* but, my teeth definitely do look lighter.

I GOT TMJ NOW BECAUSE I WAS STRESSING SO MUCH ABOUT THIS STUPID WHITENING. I HAD IT DONE TWO MONTHS AGO AND I REMEMBER THAT WAS THE STUPIDEST MISTAKE I'VE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE. THE PAIN WAS JUST UNDESCRIBABLE AND I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE PAIN. SO I JUST KEPT ON BITING DOWN HARD ON THE TOWEL AND NOW I FUCKING HAVE TMJ THAT I HAVE TO LIVE WITH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. IT DOESN'T EVEN WHITENS TEETH AND I FUCKING LOST ALL OF MY ENAMEL ON MY TEETH. THE COLOR TURNED MORE YELLOW THAN THEY WERE BEFORE. THIS SUCKS SO MUCH WHY DIDN'T I READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE I GOT IT DONE? AND WHY THE HELL DOES IT STILL EXIST ON THIS PLANET? DON'T GO FOR IT PLEASE, AND TRUST ME. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ENAMEL AND ONCE IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE. YOU CAN'T PUT ANYMORE OF WHITENING STRIPS OR ANYTHING. FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I USED LISTERINE STRIPS AND THE NEXT DAY PEOPLE NOTICED MY WHITE TEETH. WELL FUCK. I CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. FUCK THIS SHIT.

I had zoom done 5 days ago. The zingers during the treatmentwere harsh, but tolerable. That night at home, they got worse, but then pretty much subsided the next day. However, the results were nowhere to be found! My teeth are no whiter (just a few white spots here and there), and overall, look worse than before. This system is an absolute rip-off. I've been wanting to have my teeth whitnened for so long, and I just can't belive that I wasted almost $400 and have nothing to show for it (other than sore gums)....

Terrible, horrible, indescribable pain that last for a few seconds each time, however each time you curl up in a ball and cry. DON'T DO IT!!

Oh lord. I would not recommend. I am 6 hours post Zoom now and in some of the worst pain of my life. During the procedure I was more or less fine,aprt from when they burnt my tongue severely, but ever since I returned home I have been in agony. Yes, I get the odd Zinger, but my bottom teeth are in constant pain.

The procedure was so uncomfortable I can't begin to tell you. It was the longest hour of my life, and the results are really not that great.

DON'T DO IT.

I had Zoom whitening done 5 days ago and the results are terribly disappointing. I only experienced a small amount of pain in the 3rd session but nothing unbearable.

At the end of the treatment i was so upset as my teeth were still the same yellowish color but with some white blotches and lines on them. I didn't expect 'movie star' white teeth but they looked terrible and ridiculous. 5 days later and the white blotches are starting to fade back to my original color so my teeth don't look as ridiculous as they did immediately after the treatment but I feel like i have been robbed of my $650 for this scam/treatment which has made my teeth look worse than before.

In my opinion this treatment does not work and you will not end up with teeth anything like the images you online. Any whiteness that you see immediately after the treatment also disappears within a week so all the people on here who say they have just had it done and are happy with how white their teeth are will probably change their minds in a weeks time when the whiteness disappears.

I regret doing the ZOOM. Not only is it painful, but the results are horrible. I have white stains on my teeth. My teeth, gums, and roof of my mouth are terribly painful. Although I was not burned, I now fear I have ruined my enamal. Please think twice about this. You only get one set of permanent teeth. This product should be banned. Not sure why so many dentists allow this in their practices.

this product is available here in eastern region in alkhobar?
where is the location and what the name of the store.....

I had Zoom done about 11 hours ago. I have no idea how well it works because I am in too much pain to open my mouth, much less look at my teeth. I have taken Tylenol every four hours and a relief gel my dentist provided. I am still in pain. Usually, my teeth are not sensitive as I too love to chew ice, eat hot food, etc, and never had a problem.

Hopefully the pain will go away soon. I have not eaten all day and am starving. It's just too painful to eat.

I got my 17 year old son's teeth whitened for him for a birthday present. The dentist never warned us as to the risks. It was very painful for him and made his teeth like sandpaper. They are so pourus now that he can't even eat salad without causing a discoloration. Within a week his teeth turned school bus-yellow. The dentist rewhitened for free and now my son can't eat anything with color in it. Not even fruits or veggies. The dentist said they would "reseal" after two weeks, but also suggested using the whitening trays he supplied during that time. How can they "reseal" if he has to sleep with the whitening trays which are bleaching everything out? I am very upset about this. I trusted my dentist and he totally screwed us--all so he could make an additional $200. My son's teeth are ruined now. Do not do the Zoom procedure!

DO NOT PUT YOURSELF THROUGH THIS TORTURE!!!!!

I was under the impression (and told by my dentist's assistant) that the procedure would take approximately one hour. I was not told there would be pain or sensitivity of any sort and had never experienced such intermidant, piercing pain as I did on the very first session.

Two hours later (never made it through a session without my lip feeling like it was burning or tremendous zingers), I felt like I had been through a war. The only saving grace was that my teeth looked great. Had zingers all night and took ibuprofen for the pain, which did not help very much. By the next day, the teeth were not as white but the zingers had tapered off and I was able to use the follow up whitening gel.

I am pleased with the results but wish I had done more research and also would have thought that my dentist would have given me more of a "heads up" on what was involved. It was very stressful not knowing what was being applied to my teeth, gums and lips and why I was experiencing the zingers. My advice to those considering this procedure is to do your homework, have plenty of painkillers handy before and after the procedure and expect zingers and sensitivity.

Cost: $400
Time: 2hrs
Sessions completed: Four
Time that the "zingers" started....the last 30 secs of the four session

I have to say.....OMFG!!!!! I would welcome the pain of biting into freezing ice cream right now! I am quite sensitive to things and thought that if anything, any sort of pain would have begun in the 2nd or 3rd session. The "zingers" began as quick, sharp pains every now and again. NOW, it's quick sharp pains followed by quick sharp pains with no lull between them.

This is proving to be quite painful and unbearable. I've had to put the meds away so that I don't over medicate.....although nothing is working.
Upon reflection, I understand that any cosmetic changes will hurt in some way....but SOOOO much?!

I was told by the hygenist that the pains are much worse with the bleaching hour for the next four days. Really debating if it's worth even doing.

Plus side: my teeth are whiter and has actually removed a major discoloration that was halfway down my top teeth (which the dentist didn't think would happen).

I don't know if I'd recommend Zoom! to anyone.

I had Zoom done yesterday...was worried about having the pain and zingers...I did use the senseodyne tooth paste two weeks before.....after about 40 minutes of prep work from the dental assitant...makeing sure sure my gums and mouth was covered....the doctor looked at my teeth and did a good check up....I did 4 15 minute treatments....with no problem...The assitant stayed nearby and was checking on me....This product really worked...my teeth are whiter and brighter.....I did this because I going to need a root canal on one of front teeth and I wanted a whiter smile...to match....Im please with the results...some senisitvity but took a few motrin...and no problems....now everyone wants to have it done in my family,,...the price was great too......wed special...$199.00

After reading these reviews, I was pretty nervous about getting this procedure done. I did 4 sessions and the zingers started during ses. 3. Session 3 wasn't too bad, but session 4 was pretty intense. Upon leaving the dentis office, the workers claimed that the pain wouldn't be very bad...Yeah Right! It was some major pain. At some points, I was almost miserable, but the results were fantastic and well worth the cost and pain.

i got the zoom done about 4 hours ago and i got the zingers just after the 2nd session but continued into the 3rd for only 5 minutes and then stopped because i couldn't take it anymore. after that, i felt completely fine. i even went to go eat, of course avoiding staining foods.
a felt a tiny bit of sensitivity on the ride home, but once i got home, i took a couple of painkillers and took a nap. i slept for about an hour until i woke up from the pain of my lower teeth. it hurts SO bad, and it's so aggravating because i have no idea how to stop it. i've been chewing on my lip for the past hour and drinking water nonstop but it feels like i'm chewing on foil.
as for the shades, my teeth got MUCH whiter. i was expecting super white teeth, but i am still overall very happy with the results.
as for now, the pain is what gets to me and questioning whether or not i'd get it done again. it's an ache like i've NEVER felt before and very stressful.
otherwise, i would recommend going for it. (:

I just had my procedure about 7 hours ago and I would definitely warn people interested in it. My teeth are whiter than before but nothing spectacular. I figure for the amount of pain and discomfort involved...it's not worth it (and I have a high tolerance for pain).

During the procedure...I was in so much pain that I sweat right through my undershirt, hoodie, and the blanket the assistant gave me. I honestly don't know how I got through all 3 rounds...I felt like my gums where being scrapped my razors. Right now...my bottom row of teeth are very sensitive and I get excruciatingly sharp pains every couple of minutes.

I was so excited for this procedure but did not do my research before hand which I regret. My teeth are a shade or two whiter but my mother and brother didn't even notice a difference. They are no whiter than they would have been with the crest white strips. Anyways....beware!!

Very pleased with results. Did have a few zingers the day of the procedure after I left the office. I was in a car accident involving my teeth which has involved 2 root canals, a bridge, 2 implants and now 5 crowns. The zingers weren't comfortable by any means, but given my dental history they were nothing I couldn't deal with, and they only lasted about 2 seconds and then went away. But I'm sure every case is different.

I can say after it being done I would have paid for it but my dentist did provide it free of charge since I was getting 5 crowns at his office, which is certaintly not a small or inexpensive procedure. Have not yet used the whitening trays for touch-ups but have heard they work well from others who have used the system. Overall my teeth are much whiter and I'm very happy with the results. I'd say if you want whiter teeth and have the money or want to spend the money, go for it.

I'm not sure if there's any quick fix whitening that's going to be completely pain or hassle free for anyone after years of drinking wine, coffee, or just simply using your teeth for what we have them for. If you really want whitening and can put up with a little pain, based on my experience I'd say it's worth it.

Essentially my top middle 5 teeth in the picture are crowns, so they came in after the whitening, but all the others were whitened with zoom about a month ago..

I had Zoom whitening done 8 days ago. During the procedure the solution leaked onto the inside lower lip during the second of three 15 minute sessions. I indicated that my lip was burning but the technician recommended we continue rather than stopping the whole procedure. The chemical burn on my lip continued for approximately 40 minutes. The pain in my teeth was excruciating for the rest of the day following the treatment, but subsided. The lip, however, became swollen to 3 to 4 times its normal size by the next morning. The sore became white and quite disgusting looking (see attached) and was slightly greater than the size of a quarter. It has been constantly hurting ever since. Every meal has been painful. I have woken up at least twice every night since in pain, I think because the lip must dry out. I apply vitamin E cream to soothe it. Had I known that this would or could happen I would never have done this procedure. It is not safe and the risk of suffering a severe burn is too great. I would not recommend it and say, "Buyer beware."

worked well not much pain at all


well worth it

This is the second time I've had the process done. The first time was relatively effective and I was happy with it overall. I had very few zingers...when you get them, you KNOW it. That's for sure.
This time (second time) I noticed extreme sensitivity while under the laser on the second round of 3 15-minute sessions. I had never felt a pain like that...it was quick but it was so painful it ran through my whole body just for 3 seconds maybe.
My teeth have never been sensitive before...I can chew ice all day or bite into hot stuff, cold stuff, ect.
This time the results were less impressive...nearly 2 shades at best. But the PAIN has been consistent and SHARP.
I've been in car wrecks, I've broken bones, I've torn ligaments and been knocked out but I've never felt a pain like this before.
Granted it is quick usually...the longest one lasted for 30 seconds maybe but you feel it through your whole body. No lie.
I'm not sure what determines who gets them and who doesn't, but it is CRAZY. I'd never done it again if I knew how bad it would be.

It has been aprox. a year since I had zoom and I believe this process has accelerated the deterioration of my enamel. I have resorted to using Sensodyne toothpaste which is quite a bit pricier than regular and have to watch my diet as to the amount of acidity I consume. My teeth also returned to their former color a few months after the whitening.

Don't risk it!

I had Zoom done yesterday. I felt fine and did 4 sessions. After about 4 hours, horrible pain! Could not sleep, eat, watch tv. I went to the grocery store...Ora-gel has a tooth sensitivity kit...made it 90% better. I was able to sleep through the night. Today it does not hurt, but I am experiencing a weird fingernails on the chalkboard feeling every time I touch fabric. My mother in law who is a nurse, said it may be due to the nerves....hope it gets better soon!

After reading this site, I almost canceled my appointment, glad I didn't. Luckily my niece told me about having it done, and suggested I pop 4 Motrin before I go in. I'm sure it helped. I got the zingers into the second of three sessions, but it was tolerable with the Motrin. The third session had more zingers, again but it was tolerable. Took my Motrin, put on my iPod and it wasn't bad. The results I would say, are good. Not excellent, but good. I paid $500 for it, had I paid $200 I would say it was worth it..the price was a little steep. I am glad I had it done overall, my teeth are about 2 shades whiter, and that is without using the trays yet. Be careful to avoid anything with color for 3 days later (coffee, juice, berries, soda,) just drink clear fluids, food and should be ok. Bottom line, I'd recommend it, but if you get a good price on it.
