Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / October 2004Just Had Zoom Done, the Results and I Need An Opinion
I just recently had the Zoom procedure done (actually the Zoom material with the Rembrandt light). Here are results: My teeth went from yellow glaze to a sort of fluoresent/pearl white color. The upper back teeth stayed a dull yellow/brown and the dentist told me that these are the roots and can not be bleached. I have streaks of bright/pearly white here and there. Is this a typical result? Is it true about the roots? This was one downside of the procedure - it made the roots contrast with the new white color. When I smile wide or laugh hard it doesn't look good. It looked better before the procedure. On the whole though I'm satisfied as in general my teeth look white. PS. I had a little sensitivity during and after the procedure, not enough though to take a pain reliever. > When > I smile wide or laugh hard it doesn't look good.

There are root coverage procedures possible to do, and failing that, there are root coverage prostheses available as well. I've seen some of these at the dental conventions, and I'd give that a try if you don't want to see the Periodontist for gingival grafting to cover those roots (again, it is possible, but not in every case). You can discuss these options with your dentist. HTH SP  SignatureNot a real Addy, yet Gingimol >> When >> I smile wide or laugh hard it doesn't look good.

As W_B has said, the gum replacement prosthesis is called the Gingimol. While I have no personal expereience with it, it DID look like a reasonable solution to this type of problem at one of the dental congresses I addended. You might want to check that out on the Web.

Is this procedure a good value at US$400.00? That's something for the USA-ian dentists to evaluate for you ($$$). As far as the light goes, again, I'm not familiar enough with the Zoom! procedure to be able to say. Cheeahs SP SignatureNot a real Addy, yet >Thank you for this information.

The light/gel combo probably really doesn't matter as long as a good result is achieved. $400 is a bargain ! -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com yup!
