Zoom Teeth Whitening System

Amazingly painful. I don't make a fuss normally but after 5 hours I am unbearable pain across my whole face. This is pretty horrific and distressing. I would not recommend this procedure - I dont think the pain is worth the effects - my teeth are white admittedly, but a lot more manageable to do at home treatments so management of the pain is down to you.

SOMEWHAT SPLOTCHY RESULTS ON SOME TEETH...VERY EXPENSIVE ($600.00,WHICH IS THE AVERAGE PRICE)...ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN INVOLVED WHATSOEVER...BUT STILL PROBABLY WORTH IT BECAUSE IT GETS THE JOB DONE IN 90 MINUTES.

This did not hurt at all during the four 15 min sessions. An hour after I left the office, pain started then worsened throughout the day. I took high doses of meds for intense pain...in which it still did not subside completely...but was moderate. I took a sleeping pill..went to sleep early. My theory was that you do not know you are hurting when you are sleeping. When I awoke the next morning, the pain was gone. I am glad I did it, never regretted doing it, but will not do it again. The results came out great--my teeth look close to white, you just need to know about the pain afterward (something I was NEVER told about), and be prepared- Take the rest of the day OFF work, school, etc. (trust me on this), have ROOM TEMPERATURE bottled water, Advil Liquid Gels and an Rx for pain if you can get one.

I recently had the whitening zoom done to my teeth . I Have NEVER in my life experienced more pain . I thought I was hurting an hour later as I left the dentists office !!! I had no idea what was about to come hours later . As the afternoon went by my mouth began throbbing like I was being electrically shocked in my mouth . It got worse and worse by the hour . Even worse than that the pain spread throughout my entire mouth . Even my Jaw and the side of my face was in mortal pain . Dont even bother with aspirin !!! It hurt so bad I began taking 500MG aspiring ( 5 at a time ) and it didnt touch the pain . If I could have traded the pain for black teeth I would have . As far as the actual whitening it worked and worked well , but there is no way in the world I would do it again . I would rather have no teeth then go threw that again . I have had broken bones , torn tendons , accidents , stitches , you name it I have had it , and NOTHING compares to this pain !!!! NOTHING . If you think you have a high tolerance to pain just give this a shot and you will see that your tolerance for pain isnt what you thought it was . I thought I was a fairly rugged guy , but this procedure left me in my bed with tears pouring down my face . Dont do it , its just not worth it !!!!! Though the teeth get very white , so does your pale face when you are enduring the mortal pain .

I had Zoom yesterday. It cost $600. It was a very uncomfortable procedure. It felt like I was sucking a vacuum hose for about an hour.

I had a few really painful zaps to my teeth during the procedure. It was a little difficult to breathe and hard to keep your mouth open like that for so long.

After it was done, my doctor said I went up 3 shades, well to me, my teeth look exactly the same - no difference at all. They say 8 shades average they forget to mention the people that get no effect or hardly any effect at all.

I was very unhappy - that was a lot of money for no result and my teeth hurt really bad for about 24 hours.

I had the Zoom treatment done today. I did fine during the treatment, but within 10 minutes started having terrible shooting intermittent tooth pain. Within 2 hours the pain was severe, and within 5 hours the pain became unbearable and was widespread throughout all teeth. Nothing has helped and to top it off my teeth are splotchy!! I'm really sorry I spent the money on this treatment. My teeth are whiter, but the splotches are an eyesore and I hope they will subside. But the pain--- there is no way I would do this again or recommend it to anyone.

My daughter and I both had the Zoom whitening done and we were not at all happy with the results. You could hardly tell that we had had the procedure done. My daughter had excruciating pain afterwards from sensitivity. Nothing short of a strong pain pill helped! We paid $350 each, and I don't think it was worth it. A colleague of mine at work bought the in-home whitening system from her dentist, with the trays, gel, etc., and after two or three sessions at home her teeth look beautiful and very white! That's the way I'd go next time.

I had chairside Zoom done and about 2 hours after the treatment my teeth started to hurt. Now, 5 hours after the treatment, I am in horrible pain. I didn't think my teeth were sensitive, but now I know they are to whitening bleach! I would not have this treatment done again. It is way too painful after. I paid US$670 for it!

To me it was not worth the 500.00 I paid for it, and the pain I was in. I didn't feel any sensitivity until the last 2 sessions, and I don't have sensitive teeth at all. I was given Motrin by the dentist at the end because I was in so much pain. When I got home I took Advil and that did nothing for the pain. Then I took Alieve a while after and I was still in pain. I was in so much pain I thought I had to go to the hospital. I was literally holding my face. I then finally had to take a pain killer that my husband had from his dentist. Thank God they didn't expire because it was the only thing that stopped the pain. The next morning I had no pain at all but I did have a huge swollen lip. It went away after a few hours. My teeth did get whiter but not white enough to go through that again. I know people who use Crest White Strips, and their teeth are whiter than mine. Everyone is different but this was my experience.

Totally not satisfied! If you have sensitive teeth, this is not the way for you to go. It did whitening a bit but I found out how sensitive my teeth really were. With the laser light beaming and opening the pores on my teeth, at times it felt like singes of burning light piericing my teeth in places. Again, it did whiten but I couldn't even finish the 3 15 minute sessions completely. If you have sensitve teeth or think you do, this is nt the way to go. Stick with the strips or in office tray whitening!

I did Zoom! Whitening. It was okay. A friend of mine had much better results than I did. There were noticeable differences - it lasted about three months - I am a big coffe drinker, though. It came with a mold/tray and refresher bleach tubes. I've done that once to touch up.

The procedure felt LONG...you have to have your teeth exposed/mouth open for about an hour. OUCH! For $300, it was worth it though.

I had it done and my friends had it done... it just look so good!!!

its about 250...but its worth it...unless you want to brush your teeth for 80 years 6 times a day with that expensive toothpaste whitening stuff..you will come out of the Dentist office shining bright!

Dorfman owns Discus dental (Zoom whitening) which he repeatedly mentions in his book. He claims that the Zoom laser provides a 26 percent improvement for in office bleaching. This is entirely untrue. Numerous studies have shown that any laser (be it zoom, sapphire etc) does not have a substantial increase in the efficacy of bleaching. It was previously thought that the light would heat up the peroxide and the heated peroxide would have increased bleaching power. However the light has the side effect of heating up your teeth and increasing the likelyhood of sensitivity. In office bleaching is harsh enough and light only increases the sensitivity. Unless someone is strapped for time, I would suggest custom trays over in office. If you choose in office, I would stay away from the laser.
