Over the last year, I have gone through a personal transformation of sorts. I\u2019ve lost nearly 100 pounds and I feel great. Now I\u2019d like to tackle my smile. I\u2019ve always wanted to have a bright, white beautiful smile like the ones I see on those makeover shows. When I went to my dentist to request Zoom whitening, he told me that he uses another product similar to Zoom. He called it Kor? I\u2019m afraid it\u2019s some knock-off of the real thing and it won\u2019t give me the results I want. I don\u2019t know how it compares cost-wise, but I offered to pay for Zoom even if it was more expensive. He wouldn\u2019t go for it. Where can I buy Zoom and just do it myself? — Erika<\/p>\n
Erika,
\nWOW\u2026 that certainly is a transformation and one you should be commended for! And it sounds like the teeth whitening will just be icing on the cake after all your hard work.<\/p>\n
There are several choices for whitening products and oftentimes it\u2019s personal preference which one a dentist chooses. And that is likely the case with your dentist because Kor and Zoom are very similarly priced. He simply may prefer the results he has seen with Kor and wants to stick with it. The product is known to offer very consistent results on tough-stained teeth, and the company also takes great care in preserving the quality of their product during shipment (i.e. they ship in chilled packaging).<\/p>\n
Zoom is recommended only under a dentist\u2019s supervision, so doing it yourself should be out of the question even if you can find someone to sell it to you (assuming it’s really Zoom product). You\u2019re dealing with a high-powered, professional strength whitening product that can do more harm than good to your teeth and gums if they are not used correctly.<\/p>\n
Give the Kor brand a try. One thing that might help you in realizing your results better is to have your dentist tell you what shade you started at and what your final shade will be. Sometimes you can\u2019t see the difference immediately, but if you can compare the shades side-by-side, I think you\u2019ll be dazzled by the end result.<\/p>\n
