Teeth Whitening – A Great Cosmetic Dentistry Option In Downtown Denver

Who wouldn’t want a brighter, whiter, “movie-star” smile? Teeth whitening is one of the fast, easiest, least expensive ways to enhance your appearance. Without whitening, by the time you’ve reached your forties, your teeth may have darkened to the color of a manila envelope. But we, as dentists, have an way to trick “Father Time." Whiten your smile, and it’ll be like turning back the clock! This is a great cosmetic dentistry procedure to have done before a party, reunion, wedding, presentation, interview, or other important event.

Teeth Whitening At Home

You can safely and effectively whiten your teeth at home, with custom-fit trays and medical-grade teeth whitening supplies that we provide. We examine your teeth and gums to assure that you’re a good candidate for teeth whitening (don’t worry – most people are). Next, we take an impression to fabricate custom trays that fit your teeth snugly. A few days later, you return to our office to receive the custom trays, teeth whitening gel, and instructions.

All of this is supervised by one of our dentists, Dr. Redford or Dr. Alford. By wearing the trays for an hour each day, you should see striking results within a week. And, you can apply teeth whitening touch-ups for years to come, acting as your own “cosmetic dentist.”

A Caution About Store-Bought Teeth Whitening Products

While you might be tempted to buy a teeth whitening product off the shelf at a drugstore or grocery store, without the recommendation of a dentist, think twice about it. Generally, the teeth whitening products aren’t as safe or as effective. With store-bought teeth whitening kits, the trays aren’t custom-fit by a dentist, which means the teeth whitening solutions can end up irritating your gums and stomach. It’s also important to note that some of the teeth whitening toothpastes are so abrasive that they can cause increased teeth sensitivity and/or remove top layers of your tooth enamel.

Once you’ve whitened your teeth, if you’re like most of our happy patients, you’ll find yourself smiling more! Give us a call, (303) 534-7797, if you’re interested in whitening your teeth or in other cosmetic dentistry or teeth straightening options.

Our office is in the University Building, on the mall in downtown Denver, between Champa and Curtis, at 910 16th Street, Suite 700. We hope to see you soon!
