Enamel Erosion After ZOOM Whitening

I had a Zoom whitening procedure in late February, and have noticed my teeth are becoming more and more transparent. I noticed the transparency at the bottom tips of my teeth and a dark gray tint for the past few months. I'm curious if this could be caused by the Zoom procedure since I have never had any dental problems prior to the treatment. My teeth were only white for about a week after the treatment, then I noticed small changes here and there.

Bleaching and Enamel Damage

The reason I chose the Zoom system for my practice is because of the amount of research that went into the product and the preventative measures that Discus Dental has put into place to protect patients receiving the procedure. Any minor changes that occur to your teeth due to Zoom whitening occur at the office on the day that you have the procedure and there is no progressive damage afterwards. The ACP gel that you receive actually remineralizes your enamel afterwards to help rebuild any... more
