Zoom Whitening Vs. Brite Smile

I have used both the Zoom and Brightsmile machines and can confidently say that Zoom whitening is a superior product. Zoom has come out with three different machines over the years ( Zoom, Zoom 2, and Zoom Advanced Power). Zoom AP is the latest model and far superior to Brightsmile in my opinion. Zoom requires less chair time and there is less postoperative sensitivity compared to Brightsmile. If you're looking for a quick way to enhance your smile, call a Zoom certified office and get yourself scheduled!

Phillips has outdone themselves with the creation of Zoom! Whitespeed.  The results are fabulous.  Patient satisfaction is near 100%It is quit simply the fastest, easiest, and most effective in office  whitening solution.  The new light activates the hydrogen peroxide and helps the stain fighting radicals whiten faster and increases whitening results by 40%The beauty of the Zoom whitespeed as compared to older Zoom models is the ability to lower the light intensity during treatment when a patient begins to develop sensitivity ("zingers").  This allows patients to complete the 3 sessions and not sacrifice results by ending the session early.Zoom! has been proven to be the best light activated whitening system to date.  And with the newest technology of Phillips Zoom! Whitespeed this can be done better and with less discomfort. 

These 2 methods of whitening, though similar, have some important differences. My patients prefer the treatment and results of Zoom whitening over other methods, including Brite Smile, because the results are achieved in much less time and are often much more noticeable. With most forms of whitening, there is some sensitivity noted, but the longevity of the sensitivity with Zoom is much less compared to that of Brite Smile. With any type of whitening, the results often depend on your habits as well (the darkness/staining ability of the foods/drinks you consume, and whether or not you smoke, etc.). Hope this helps!

They products are almost identical.  The longevity of your results depend entirely on your diet.  Staying away from food and drinks that stain your teeth will help your results last longer.  Coffee is one of the biggest culprits in staining your teeth.  If you're a coffee drinker we recommend drinking it through a straw so it does not touch the front of your teeth

Just to add to all the answers here. The longevity of the whitening results mostly depends on your diet and oral hygiene habits. After achieving the desired whitening result, you don't really need to do whitening again for up to a year, but based on your personal biology, diet and hygiene the results may vary, no matter what whitening system you use.

Be sure its Zoom advanced tho, the older lights dont work as well. Have trays made for either method so you can do touch ups later.

Zoom and Britesmile are brand names for in-office whitening procedures. Both use similar materials and take about the same amount of time. Both will also achieve similar results.

Both products are in office light assisted teeth whitening. However, for full disclosure Zoom bought out Britesmile, so it is likely that they are identical at this point.
If they ARE the same, I would choose based on price.
