Smile Bright on Your Wedding Day + Everyday
Are you a lucky couple that became engaged over the holiday season? Did you know that anywhere from November thru February is peak engagement season? If it hasn’t happened yet, it just might happen over this holiday weekend :) If you have said yes, you will likely want to be sure your smile is bright {like my hubby and I did before we said “I Do”}. So, before you finalize your wedding checklist - you will want to add one more item . . . Get a Philips Zoom whitening treatment {it’s the #1 patient-requested professional whitening brand in the U.S}. PS: I have a special freebie at the end of this post that you won’t want to miss.
In preparing for the wedding day, brides often go to great lengths to get the perfect bridal look and in the process, there will be countless checklists compiled to prepare for the big day. With a Philips Zoom whitening treatment on the to-do list, you can be sure you have the brightest smile for the day you’ve always dreamed of {and even for those fun engagement sessions}.

One of the key reasons to love Philips Zoom is because each of the whitening options are professional . . . which means you can be assured you’re brightening your smile using only the most safe and effective treatments. There’s a treatment for everyone . . . including:


1. Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed treatment is one 45-minute appointment at a local dentist and it can whiten teeth up to eight shades!

2. Philips Zoom Customized Take-Home trays from the dentist for at-home application.

3. Philips Zoom QuickPro treatment which can whiten teeth up to four shades in just a few minutes - simply add it onto a regular check-up.

4. There’s even Philips Zoom Whitening Pens which are great for touch-ups and can deliver optimal results in just 15 days.

With Philips Zoom, not only will your teeth be whiter, but since it’s trusted by professionals, it makes it the perfect choice to help you smile with confidence on your wedding day {an even engagement photos}. If you’re interested in Philips Zoom, you can use the Philips Zoom’s Find a Dentist tool to locate a dentist in your area and get started right away on a bright and happy smile.
