    Has anyone used the Beyond Polus Laser Teeth Whitening system? Is it good?

    I'm thinking of going to the White Smiles Clinic in Dublin and would be grateful to hear of others experiences.

    To be honest I got my teeth whitened two years ago and did a lot of research, I opted for the zoom in house and got home kit. It was extremely painful but results are amazing and I can do home kit whenever I want a top up, you can also buy syringes of peroxide from the dentist! Best money ever spent! The cheapest I found it was in the dentist in balbriggan I think I paid 250 in total and got my teeth cleaned first! I have seen the results of beyond on two people and was not impressed! Zoom can only be done in dentists where beyond can be done by laser places!

    You can get the zoom in-house treatment which is done in the dentist. I don't know if its a laser but they do use some kind of a light. The use 25% peroxide and with the light it is then 75% (which is why it is so sore!) You can also get the zoom home kit where they will take a mould of your mouth and make up a gum shield and give you 16% peroxide which you put it yourself at nighttime. Zoom is safe I have been doing the home treatment for years. It increases sensitivity though. Just remember it is a whitening not stain removing! So you need to get your teeth cleaned first! Zoom is only available from a dentist and cannot be done in laser clinics.

    I've had both Beyond and Zoom and Zoom is definitely better and lasts longer.

    The home kit is great, I've used the crest/every type of strip over the last five years (found them good)but the results I get with the home whitening kit is fantastic!

    The dentist swayed me away from laser as she said it's much harsher on the teeth & gums long term.

    I got the zoom €245 deal in Balbriggan dental care. I also got a check up x rays and teeth clean all included in price. They are great dentists, I travel from south county dublin to go to them.
