Top Of The List Smile Center An attractive white smile can have a far greater effect on your life than you might realize. Recent research shows that whiter teeth can be a key factor in successfully getting a new job or a first date. It can also make you look more successful, employable, attractive and even five years younger. However, not everyone wants the inconvenience and expense associated with laser whitening. A new beauty salon, Smile Center, offers a proven treatment to recover the whiteness of your teeth. Safe, fast, painless and affordable, it is a simple and effective way to quickly obtain whiter teeth without sensitivity. Customers can expect to gain between 2 to 10 shades whiter in less than an hour, which will then last between one to three months. A cosmetic rather than dentist treatment, the procedure consists of using a gel in a mouth tray that is stimulated by a LED lamp. All products are certified 100% safe by the FDA and do not contain peroxide or penetrate into tooth enamel. New clients qualify for a 30 percent discount.
