Zoom teeth whitening treatment?

Question

My dentists bleached one of my teeth but it ended up being too white (well a tiny bit whiter than the others) so he offered to "Zoom" my other teeth for $250 instead of $650. But I don't want to do it if I'd have to repeat it after a few months anyway.

So here are my questions:

How long does the effect last?

Does it damage your teeth in any way?

Can the dentist control the shade of white it will bleach the teeth to?

Answer 1

The effects of any bleaching system depends on personal habits(smoking,drinking coffee)anything that stains your teeth.Most bleaching lasts anywhere from 1 to 2 years.Bleaching does not damage your teeth.You might have some sensitivity but only for a few days.The dentist can control the shade buy only applying so many applications

Answer 2

i work in a dental office, my boss often speaks to her dentist friends comparing products and such, one think she told me was that a lot of pts complain about sensitivity after zoom. I have never done it, but i do know that diet has a lot to do with the white lasting.

Talk to the dentist and he/she will be more than willing to answer im sure.........
