I would love to have my teeth whitened by a dentist one day, but I have a little dental anxiety and haven't worked up the courage just yet. Until then, I have been trying different at-home products to see what works the best for me.

Having a dental implant put in by your dentist can improve your smile and make you feel more confident.
