“I met a guy the other day who’s teeth seemed to glow in the dark… I don’t believe I remembered anything about that conversation.”

Who wouldn’t want their teeth looking nice and bright?  But, there should be a limit.  Moderation is key, and if you are not doing camera work (umm…that’s “in-front”of the camera) then we all should stear clear of a potentially “blinding” smile.  So here are a few safe and effective ways to get that picture perfect smile.

Whitening Toothpastes

• will lift superficial stains, scrubs off the daily residue left by coffee or red wine but won’t get rid of deeper discoloration  
• 5 minutes a day
• $3.50 – $20 per tube

Halogen Lamp

• most effective procedure to get noticeably whiter natural looking teeth
• can take up to an hour and a half (Repeat once a year)
• Approx. – $600

Custom-fit Trays

• will get your teeth about as white as the lamp will, but the peroxide will not penetrate as deep
• two visits to the dentist for molds and then two weeks of wearing the trays (Repeat every 6 mos.)
• Approx. – $400
