About Professional Teeth Whitening in Aurora, CO
To ensure you’re a candidate for treatment, we first have you visit our dental office for a consultation with the dentist. At this visit, we answer your questions and check your tooth and gum health before moving forward with treatment.
If you choose professional teeth whitening and it is a safe option for you, we typically start with teeth cleaning. This method removes tartar from the teeth, allowing the whitening treatment to better adhere to and penetrate enamel pores.
Then, we provide in-office teeth whitening, which takes about 45 minutes. We can also craft a take-home kit so you can continue lightening your teeth or touching up your smile as needed.
The magic of teeth whitening is that it can lift away stubborn stains and penetrate enamel pores to remove discoloration.
Why You Should Avoid Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening
Recall that the dentist checks the state of your teeth and gums before treatment. When you whiten alone, there is no way to know whether the ingredients suit your oral health profile. You can be left with sensitive teeth and even enamel damage.
Additionally, over-the-counter teeth whitening products are not prescription-strength, which means you may be disappointed with your results.
Finally, store-bought kits may not whiten evenly, leaving you with teeth of varying shades or dark areas where the gel does not penetrate.
