In-Office Downtown Denver Teeth Whitening

In-Office dental whitening, also known as chair-side whitening, at our Downtown Denver location, is the safest and most popular system to whiten your teeth. This cosmetic dentistry procedure utilizes a light-activated, powerful bleaching gel which can be easily applied in our office. The results are immediate and stunning and the treatment is painless even to the most sensitive teeth. No other cosmetic bleaching procedure produces faster results!

At-Home Kits

Take control of your smile and perform your own dental whitening at home with our teeth whitening kits! These products have grown in popularity in recent years for their comfort and simplicity.

We welcome you to make an appointment at Icon Dental Denver to learn about your teeth whitening options, and to make sure the rest of your oral health is in check.

How long does teeth whitening last?

The duration of teeth whitening results can vary depending on various factors, including your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. On average, teeth whitening effects can last anywhere from several months to a few years. However, it’s important to note that teeth whitening is not a permanent solution, as the natural aging process and daily habits such as consuming staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can gradually diminish the brightness of your teeth. Certain habits such as smoking or the use of tobacco products can also stain your teeth quickly. To maintain your results for a longer period, it’s recommended to follow good oral hygiene practices, limit the consumption of staining substances, and consider touch-up treatments as needed.

Can teeth whitening cause permanent sensitivity?

Tooth sensitivity is a common concern when it comes to teeth whitening. While some individuals may experience temporary sensitivity during or after the treatment, it is rare for teeth whitening to cause permanent sensitivity. The sensitivity caused by professional whitening procedures is usually mild and normally subsides within a few days or weeks. However, if you already have sensitive teeth or gum problems, it’s important to consult with your dentist before undergoing teeth whitening. They can evaluate your oral health and recommend the most suitable whitening method for you, ensuring minimal discomfort. If you have any preexisting conditions, such as decay or gum disease, your dentist will likely recommend addressing those oral health issues first, before beginning any sort of cosmetic treatment, including teeth whitening.

I have cosmetic dental work, can I receive teeth whitening?

If you have cosmetic dental work, such as dental veneers, crowns, or bonding, it’s important to note that teeth whitening treatments will not have an effect on these restorations. Teeth whitening products primarily work on natural tooth enamel and cannot change the color of dental restorations. If you have cosmetic dental work and are interested in improving the overall appearance of your smile, it’s best to consult with your dentist. They can assess your specific situation and recommend alternative options, such as replacing or updating your existing dental restorations to match your desired tooth shade.
