During the summer months, it’s all about taking it easy. The kids are out of school, families plan vacations to relaxing destinations, and weekend afternoons bleed into evenings with the late-setting sun. You probably want to lean into the season and keep things as fuss-free as possible.
That might mean streamlining your personal grooming routine. If you want to look natural while looking your best this summer, two things can help: a nice tan and a dazzling smile. Paired together, glowing skin sets off pearly whites.
Sandi E. Silva, DDS, provides professional teeth whitening products here at our office in Tustin, California. If you’re seeking a way to feel your best when you walk into a room this summer, don’t hesitate to talk to Dr. Silva and our team about what whitening can do for you.
Dr. Silva offers professional-grade whitening that you can use from the comfort and convenience of home. She provides you with customized trays that fit precisely over your teeth, paired with a whitening gel that’s more powerful than what you can buy in the store.

At-home whitening with a kit from Dr. Silva also gives you control. You can use the whitening gel until you arrive at your desired shade, then stop. Hang onto any leftover gel, and you can reapply it when you need some added brightness down the road.

In fact, teeth whitening is so popular that dental professionals within the American Association of Orthodontists report that 90% of patients request it.
