With each new semester comes a new slate, and wanting to make the best first impression possible is very important. Whether it is a fellow student or your favorite professor, making sure you look your best is crucial. If your smile is less than dazzling, you may find it hard to be confident in the way you look, and can negatively affect the way you interact with the people around you. Having a stained smile is never esthetically pleasing, and <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centresmilesdental.com\/meet-the-team.html\">Dr. Donald M. Marks and Dr. John A. Martin<\/a><\/b> are able to whiten the smiles of their patients using <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.the611dentist.com\/teeth-whitening.html\">teeth whitening<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many factors that can contribute to our smiles dulling over time, including coffee, tea, wine, certain medications, additives in food, and even genetics. Having a bright, beautiful smile is a sign of health and liveliness, and if that is compromised, it can be damaging to one\u2019s self-esteem. <b>Dr. Marks<\/b> has extensively researched the results of certain whitening procedures, and believes that <b>at-home whitening<\/b> is the most beneficial to his patients.<\/p>\n<p>With <b>at-home whitening<\/b>, we will be able to have custom <b>whitening<\/b> trays made for you, ensuring a personalized treatment and the most amazing results. We also offer <b>whitening<\/b> trays that are already made; it is up to you as to which you prefer. We also will be able to provide you with professional-grade <b>whitening<\/b> gel, giving you amazing, professional results. All you have to do is fill the <b>whitening<\/b> trays with the gel and wear them for an hour. Though you will see a <b>whiter<\/b> smile right away, the full results will be seen over the course of about two weeks!
