I second this. I had a $500 "Zoom!" job done. It was hydrogen peroxide and a
UV light (I think). Took 30 minutes and my teeth were 10,000 megawatts
brighter for ONE WEEK. Then back to the same old color again. What a joke.
Well, I guess it's good if you have a wedding or something the next day but
that's about it. Just rinse with peroxide and go smile into the sun for 30
minutes (of course your gums might get sunburned).
