“Doable, but not pleasant.”

Zoom whitening: Worth it

Cost: $400
Pain: Uncomfortable
Zoom whitening satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good

Had zoom done at about 10AM today. I spent a long time talking to the staff about all the concerns I had after reading so many bad reviews, as it was REALLY freaking me out. However, they assured me that most patients do not experience the worst pain. Think about it this way: very few people go online to report a GOOD experience; they only complain when they're in pain.

So we went ahead and started...had zingers starting in the second session but made it through three before it got bad. My dentist prescribed me some lortab and sent me on my way... The zings continued for a while and some were pretty painful (To the point of making me stop whatever I was doing and cringe) but not crippling and very brief.

The best idea is to just go home, take the pain med, and fall asleep for a while after drinking plenty of water. I took a 5 hour nap and am now just experiencing a more constant, much lighter sensitivity that will be gone by tomorrow. And in return my gross yellow teeth are now 7 shades whiter. I'm really pleased with the results.
