A bright, confident smile is a gift that you can give to everyone you meet. Research shows that when we smile, our body releases serotonin and endorphins, the “happy hormones.” That means that smiling not only boosts your spirits but also the moods of those around you!

It’s no wonder teeth whitening is so popular. Few cosmetic dental treatments can have such an immediate, dramatic impact on your smile as teeth whitening. Patients who choose teeth whitening at our Centennial dental office are always delighted with the brilliant, transformative results.

As far as safety, whitening your teeth with our dentist’s system and approval is always the best course.

Using over-the-counter products or whitening kits purchased online may not be the way to go. The ingredients may be too abrasive for your teeth, and when whitening trays do not fit properly, you can be left with lingering tooth sensitivity.  

What Types Of Teeth Whitening Do You Offer?

In our Centennial CO dental office, we offer take-home kits and in-office whitening. In some situations, you can combine these treatments, which allows you to touch up your smile at your convenience.

Additionally, our dentist makes sure your teeth and gums are in a healthy condition before approving you for professional teeth whitening. When you whiten on your own, this is not possible.

Professional Teeth Whitening in Centennial, CO

Dr. Franquemont and his team offer two convenient options for professional teeth whitening—in-office and take-home treatment. 

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth bleaching is quick, effective, and ideal for patients with significant upcoming events like weddings, reunions, or vacations. 

After one 60-minute appointment, you will leave our Centennial dental office with teeth that are six to ten shades lighter. 

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

For our take-home option, we offer Opalescence whitening kits with custom bleaching trays made from impressions of your teeth. Custom trays ensure a snug fit that delivers excellent results without the danger of excess bleaching gel escaping onto your gums and irritating them. 

Most patients achieve their desired results 10 to 14 days after bleaching their teeth for 30 minutes daily. Best of all, you'll always have your custom trays, so you can whiten your smile in the future anytime you like.

Your Brighter Smile Is Just a Phone Call Away!  

To learn more about the benefits of professional teeth whitening, contact our team at (303) 795-0066 for more information. 

 

Depending on your habits, professional teeth whitening in Centennial, CO, can last a year or much longer—lifestyle choices and specific foods and drinks that contribute to tooth discoloration hamper whitening longevity.

In some cases, professional teeth whitening results will last for years if you can eliminate the cause of your tooth discoloration.

Maintaining Your Teeth Whitening Results

Be sure to brush and floss regularly and see the dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings.

Also, try to eliminate or lower your intake of the following:

  • Coffee and tea
  • Red wine and cola
  • Bright sauces and curry
  • Bright berries

If you do indulge in tooth-staining foods and drinks, be sure to clean your mouth soon after. Additionally, if you use tobacco, consider quitting. Tobacco is detrimental to your oral and physical health; it also contributes to tooth staining.

If you have one of our Opalescence at-home kits, you can use it periodically if you notice new staining.

Opalescence teeth whitening in Centennial, CO, allows you to control the whitening process. You alone decide on the desired shade of white.

The system consists of teeth whitening trays and prescription-strength gel. To fabricate the trays, we take impressions of your teeth. We send you home with the whitening gel and your tray. You fill each tooth-tray receptacle daily with a drop of the gel. You whiten for approximately thirty minutes daily, reaching full effect in about two weeks.  

Be sure to follow the instructions provided by our dental office for a safe and effective tooth whitening experience. Should you have questions along the way, never hesitate to contact a member of our dental team.

Besides Opalescence, we offer in-office whitening for faster results. However, the take-home kit is ideal if you’re unsure what tooth shade you’re going for and would feel more comfortable controlling the results.

Your Teeth Whitening Consultation

Before we proceed with professional teeth whitening, we have you come in for a consultation, especially if you have not been here before or we don’t have recent x-ray films or oral health information on file. The dentist wants to ensure our teeth whitening systems are safe for your smile!

teeth whitening centennial | woman at dentistTeeth whitening enhances natural enamel but does not affect restorative materials like fillings or crowns, potentially causing color mismatches; consult your dentist in Centennial, CO, to ensure your dental work aligns with your whitening goals and overall smile.

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure to enhance the brightness of natural teeth, but it’s important to understand its impact on dental restorations like fillings and crowns. Whitening treatments, whether in-office or with take-home kits like Opalescence, are formulated to lighten the natural enamel of your teeth.

However, these treatments do not have the same effect on restorative materials such as composite fillings, porcelain crowns, or veneers. Consequently, you may notice a color mismatch after whitening if your restorations were initially matched to a darker shade of your natural teeth.

Adjusting Your Smile to Match Your Newly White Teeth

Sometimes, you may need to have your fillings or crowns replaced or adjusted to match your newly whitened teeth. Dr. Michael Franquemont in Centennial offers comprehensive consultations to ensure your whitening process aligns with your overall dental health and cosmetic goals. We're here to help you achieve the best possible outcome for your smile!

Teeth Whitening in Centennial, CO

If you are considering teeth whitening and have existing dental work, it’s crucial to consult with your dentist. They can evaluate your restorations and discuss the best approach to achieving a uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile. 

We welcome patients from all surrounding areas, including Greenwood Village, Heritage Hills, Meridian, Cottonwood, Foxfield, Southglenn, Highlands Ranch, Stonegate, and beyond.

What Happened to Your Bright Smile?

Did you look in the mirror one day and notice that your teeth suddenly look dull or stained? The process actually took place over many years and is helped along by habits like consuming staining foods and beverages. 

Smoking is one of the biggest culprits because you just can’t avoid the buildup of brown or yellow stains that develop over time. Inadequate brushing and flossing that leads to plaque and tartar buildup also contribute to a dull appearance and yellow teeth.

Teeth Whitening Options in Centennial, CO

We are pleased to offer two types of teeth whitening to accommodate the needs of our busy, active patients.

Fast Results with In-Office Whitening

If you want the brightest results in the shortest time possible, in-office teeth whitening is the right choice for you. On a tight timeline for a wedding, reunion, or another major event? Professional in-office teeth whitening in Southglenn produces brilliant results and a bright smile that’s several shades whiter in about an hour.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits

Woman at dentist getting teeth whitening in Centennial, COWe recommend customized take-home teeth whitening kits if you have a little more time or want more control over the process. Our team takes impressions to fabricate custom whitening trays that conform perfectly to all the contours of your teeth. You will also receive prescription-strength whitening gel in a potency that is just right for you to avoid sensitivity. Place the gel in the trays and wear for about 20-30 minutes a day for two weeks or until you see the desired results.

Custom take-home kits are superior to store-bought brands in every way. Custom trays allow the gel to come in contact evenly with all surfaces of your teeth and keep it away from your sensitive gum tissue. Since you are under a dentist’s supervision, you always have someone to turn to if you experience a problem or don’t see the results you were hoping for.

For your convenience, Dr. Franquemont also offers Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kits. These kits offer you prescription-strength bleaching gel in pre-formed trays that are quick, affordable, and easy to use at home.

Contact our team for more information about our take-home teeth whitening options.
