FYI Dorfman owns Discus dental (Zoom whitening) which he repeatedly mentions in his book. He claims that the Zoom laser provides a 26 percent improvement for in office bleaching. This is entirely untrue. Numerous studies have shown that any laser (be it zoom, sapphire etc) does not have a substantial increase in the efficacy of bleaching. It was previously thought that the light would heat up the peroxide and the heated peroxide would have increased bleaching power. However the light has the side effect of heating up your teeth and increasing the likelyhood of sensitivity. In office bleaching is harsh enough and light only increases the sensitivity. Unless someone is strapped for time, I would suggest custom trays over in office. If you choose in office, I would stay away from the laser. Most of the statements in his book are accurate, however some (including this one and more) aren't entirely true. However, the average reader would never know it...

I recently ordered SEVERAL copies of this book and in our next monthly newsletter I am mentioning that any patient who would like a FREE copy of it should just call our office and request one. This is the most consumer-friendly guide to cosmetic dentistry I have ever seen. and for only 11.99??? This can be a great resource for a dental practice if you leverage it!

I am a third year dental student at the University of Southern California and this book is a great resource for me. It has a very straight forward no nonsense approach that simplifies all the information out there about cosmetic dental procedures. I found the cases to be very interesting and informative plus I can use the information to help educate the patients I see about what options they have. With all the mixed messages out there about cosmetic dentistry it is great to have a resource that is so straightforward and helpful. Plus the price, are you kidding me?!? What a bargain! And the proceeds go to charity, if you are a dentist or a potential patient at all interested in cosmetic procedures then there is no reason not to buy this book.

On a side note, the only negative feedback seems to come from a very embittered person. I wouldn't put any stock into what that individual said, but that is just my two-cents.

This book is great! I have sent copies of it to my friends and patients and have one in my office reception room! It is a wonderful guide to learn about cosmetic smile makeovers. I highly recommend it!
