What a waste of time and $$. I am three days post ZOOM and I went in today for what was supposed to be starting to replace my front veneer. I left in tears. The procedure itself was recommended as I needed to replace my veneer. It was offered at a low cost, and I was excited at the prospect of whiter teeth. My first alarm went off when I showed up for the ZOOM and was told her RDA was doing it. The procedure itself was somewhat uncomfortable, I ended up getting 4 15 minute sessions. When done, and soothing gel" on, I about jumped out of the chair. The sharp, to the root pains began. When I got home, I saw that my lips and gums were "burned", raw, some bleeding. I did not see much improvement, actually a lot of streaking and mottled colors which she told me would go away. Did the weekend of tray follow up at home, and NO CHANGE. Hideous, at least my yellow teeth were uniform in color. Some teeth are half-white, others not at all, others too white, some white while yellow at the gumline. I am embarrassed even to smile now. When I went in today, the RDA was very defensive, although at least the dentist admitted she did not care for the results - but NEVER checked them when I left. Now, they gave me a competitors gel they want me to use for SEVERAL weeks to see if they help at all, and now my veneer will be very delayed. After now having read up on this procedure, I think this is a dangerous product, and should not be performed by ANYONE but a dentist. No wonder they are so serious about the waiver, this product is junk and I would NEVER recommend this pain and suffering to anyone, only to end up with results like mine. The kicker, my tooth next to my 10 year old veneer is the same color as the veneer AFTER the procedure, and so she mentioned if they cannot whiten the natural tooth, I may need 2 veneers, at my expense I am sure. Buyer beware, nothing is more precious than your smile!
