In emergency situations, moonlight reflected off pearly whites creates a beaming beacon that registers in the canine-visible spectrum of light and wards off any tooth fairy–vampire hybrids. With today's Groupon, equip your smile with brightness that may (and definitely will) one day save your life. For $77, you get a professional, take-home teeth-whitening system from Advanced Dentistry of Charlotte on Morehead, a $400 value. Advanced Dentistry's Dr. Christopher Bowman has been serving Charlotte teeth for 11 years, and his attentive team will ensure that you walk out with everything you need to comfortably brighten your smile at home.

Your path to a gleaming grin begins with a visit to the well-appointed office. Here you'll be given all the equipment necessary for your ascension into toothwise radiance. Dr. Bowman's team of artisanal mold crafters will construct a customized mold to match your specific bite. Its snug, one-of-a-kind fit will prevent roommates from "borrowing" the mold, as they might do with a toothbrush or belt sander. The four-tube supply of whitening gel comes in daytime-use (leave in for 30 minutes to an hour) and nighttime-use (two hours to overnight) varieties. This pharmaceutical-strength whitening gel that will boost your smile to brighter levels than those possible with over-the-counter products such as melted white Crayolas. Dr. Bowman says that teeth will begin to look brighter after a few treatments; the take-home kit allows you to customize your regimen to achieve desired results, just like a Pokémon lineup.

After your treatment period, you'll be left with a movie-star smile capable of winning hearts and frying ants. Erase the toll of coffee or tobacco toothpaste with the swift and effective whitening process. As the shades of light increase, your perceived age decreases, effectively rewinding time without tracking down an elusive flux capacitor.

Recipients must be at least 16 years old (those under 18 need parental or guardian-angel approval).

• I was referred to this dentist by a friend. Chris is a great dentist, one of the best I??ve [sic] ever had. I really appreciate his honesty; he will not try to force unnecessary work on you like some other dentists I??ve used in the past. He will also work with you as far as financing any work performed. I??ve [sic] been on a tight budget once or twice and he has always helped me work out a convenient payment plan. – Daniel M., Kudzu
• Not only am I impressed with the speed of my visit – I am especially wowed by the courteous staff. Not to mention Rachel and Dr. Bowman listened to my concerns and put me at ease about corrective treatment. – Monica, testimonial
• In an ever-increasing “hurry up” world, you took the time to thoroughly explain not only what needed to be done, but why. You addressed my concerns and fears. You and your staff are extremely professional and accommodating. And, most importantly, you have step-by-step, corrected the problems I was experiencing. For the first time in many months, I have no pain or discomfort. – Teresa C. Flowers, testimonial
