Your teeth are exposed on a daily basis with foods and beverages that will contribute to a dull smile. Unlike other products that require daily use, our home whitening kits do not need to be used more than once or twice per month. In addition to utilizing the home maintenance kits, you may opt for bi-annual professional teeth whitening treatments which will keep your teeth the whitest possible.
