Did you know that 92% of the respondents in a recent survey believe that an attractive smile is an important social asset? In addition to the basics of dental hygiene, cosmetic dentistry is the best way to be sure your smile stays white, bright, and at its best.

If you'd like to avoid cosmetic dentistry, remember the "white T-shirt rule" before you put anything into your mouth: anything that can stain a white T-shirt can stain your teeth. Combine this with regular dental visits and standard dental hygiene, and you may never need cosmetic dentistry.

If you want a super-fast way to get your teeth whiter, try laser whitening. In this cosmetic dentistry technique, the dentist paints your teeth with a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel, and zaps them with a laser. It's painless, and much faster than the alternatives.
