Can dental bonding be whitened?
I have had dental bonding on my front two teeth for over 15 years. I suppose the bonding should be redone, but I just don’t have the money for it at the moment. I think the original cosmetic dentist told me that the bonding itself will not change color if it is bleached. But I […]
Does Zoom whitening hurt?
I got some teeth whitening kits from the drug store. I really wasn’t happy with them. They actually hurt. I am looking into Zoom whitening but was wondering if it has hydrogen peroxide in it because I think that is why my teeth hurt. Also, do you have to get Zoom done multiple times to […]
Do I need sedation for Zoom?
My teeth are very, very sensitive! But I have been wanting to whiten my teeth for awhile and I am finally moving forward with getting Zoom!

My teeth are tingling after Zoom whitening
I am wondering if it’s normal to feel extreme sensitivity after getting Zoom whitening done? I had my appointment yesterday.

Freaking out because I put whitening strips on my veneers!

No one told me I’d be in pain after Zoom!
My gums felt strange yesterday during the Zoom whitening procedure I had done. They kind of tingled a little, bit but it wasn’t too bad.

I have tetracycline stains from medication given to me as a baby. I was told porcelain veneers are the best treatment for this condition. But I simply cannot afford it. I had a dentist put dental bonding on my teeth but they are chipping already. Do you know if Zoom whitening is an option? I’m […]
