Does Zoom whitening really work?

Issue
My dentist said that I dont need to do the in office treatment, just the home treatments- will I see the same effects?

Best Tip

In 2 recent studies it was found that:
1. "One-visit in sugery bleaching is to be viewed with scepticism. Even after 2-3 in-surgery visits, half of the patients requested additional home-bleaching to improve the result."
2. "It was possible that dehydration of the teeth could be a contributer to the immediate whitening effect of one-visit procedues, and that these patients had a far higher shade rebound compared to those who had 2-3 visits."
So, unless you want some immediate effect for a special occasion, you will get the same result at a lesser cost by simply using home-bleaching. And it will last longer than in-surgery bleaching alone. Your dentist is correct. Source(s): Oper. Dent. 2005;30:156-163

Yes you will it will just take a month or two. The office procedure is what you would get in a months time if I m not mistaken.
I just had the zoom done on Monday and had awesome results. I have also used whitening trays. It takes alot of consistency to do the trays but in the end you have the same results. I recommend zoom for you if you don't have the time to whiten with trays. Just be aware that the in office whitening can cause more sensitvity than the home kit. If you do decide to go with the office whitening I recommend you use a fluoride toothpaste for at least 2 weeks.

well i've had the office treatment done. my teeth were super sensitive for the rest of the day but they were really white. although the effects of it kinda wore off on me, granted, i haven't been doing the trays but it does work i guess.
