Are all teeth whitening products essentially the same?

Question

My dentist is using BlancOne Touch but never heard of this product. He said it’s the same product (hydrogen peroxide) as Zoom just a different brand. Is that correct? If same thing, how come EVERYONE is using Zoom and not cheaper versions of hydrogen peroxide? So can someone please compare Zoom vs. BlancOne vs. Enlighten Evolution (the most expensive of the 3 and apparently the best?)

Yes, all teeth whitening products are easentially the same in generally speaking. But when you go into the details, some are more effective than others. The two main active ingredients are hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Both active ingredients has different concentrations in percentages, ZOOM is more popular because they’re more common and been around. I’m sure there are many other brands that are similar to ZOOM. Give that whitening system offered by your dentist a shot and share your feedback. Saving money is always great.

Hi

I agree with your local dentist, zoom is a very well-known brand but the active ingredient is exactly the same regardless of the brand some products have a smaller percentage of (hydrogen peroxide) other a bigger, personally because of the popularity of zoom I started using it with my patients but as a customer of zoom products I was not fully satisfy because even though the results were good, the percentage of (hydrogen peroxide) was a bit stronger than most office whitening and this cause my patients more sensitivity.

I hope my answer was helpful, and helps you take your best decision

HI There,Your question is a good one.  We have been faithful ZOOM users up here in New Haven, CT.  I have tried other products (not that you have mentioned) and come back to ZOOM every time.  It is safe, effective and our patients love their new whitening smile.  We here at The Center for Esthetic Dentistry, LLC,  who create beautiful custom smiles for all people, don't feel the need to change or experiment with a new product any more. Maybe that comfort level is what you are experiencing.
