All the reviews are right, Shannon is awesome! First class experience all the way and I really appreciated her knowledge and willingness to take as much time as necessary. Will be a customer for life, thanks Shannon!

PHIL LINES
What an amazing (and surprisingly comfortable) experience! Shannon is extremely experienced and great at making someone feel valued and comfortable. The massage chair and Netflix made the whitening actually enjoyable! I can’t image a better experience for the price as well.
Highly recommended!!!!

ANELL M.
Absolutely by far the best dental whitening in all of Virginia Beach,
The price is reasonable and Shannon is more then accommodating, this place has helped me more in one visit then a dental office has, she is very transparent and honest. Great work , the visit was relaxing , and more than what I expected it to be.
Best Teeth whitening in Virginia Beach by far . I would absolutely recommend her

A phenomenal experience, all of which would not have been made possible without Shannon's professionalism, expertise, and incredibly friendly demeanor. Her facility is a pleasure to be in and she makes you feel very comfortable all throughout. Look no further. This is where you want to go for a complete and comprehensive whitening experience. Thank you so much! I will be back again!

Visited while on vacation to treat my daughter after having braces. Shannon took her time explaining the process and aftercare to both of us. During the process she was attentive and made sure my daughter was comfortable. If you're in the Virginia Beach area, I would highly recommend checking out The Whitening Shop!
