Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to lighten discoloration and remove stains from the enamel. Unlike over-the-counter whitening strips, professional whitening uses stronger, dentist-supervised solutions that deliver faster and more noticeable results. The goal is a brighter smile that still looks natural.
During an in-office whitening session, a protective barrier is placed around the gums to keep them safe. A professional-strength whitening gel is then applied to the teeth. In many cases, a special light is used to enhance the whitening effect. The process usually takes about an hour, and patients leave with a noticeably brighter smile. For those who prefer gradual results, The Dental Team also offers take-home kits with custom-fitted trays.
Teeth whitening effectively treats stains from food and drinks like coffee, tea, and wine, as well as discoloration from aging or smoking. It does not change the natural color of the teeth or work on crowns, fillings, or veneers, but it can dramatically brighten natural enamel and restore confidence in your smile.
The most obvious benefit of whitening is a brighter, more youthful smile. Many patients feel more confident in social situations, at work, and in photos after treatment. A whiter smile can help reduce self-consciousness and allow you to express yourself more freely.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for whitening. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for patients with untreated cavities, gum disease, or extensive dental restorations. A consultation at The Dental Team in Cherry Creek will help determine the best option for your smile.
There is little to no recovery needed after whitening. Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, which typically fades within a day or two. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks right after treatment helps maintain results.
Most patients see their teeth brighten by several shades in just one visit. With proper care and occasional touch-ups, results can last for months or even years. Take-home kits provide flexibility to maintain your results on your own schedule.
Results vary, but most patients enjoy a brighter smile for several months to a few years with good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups.
