Teeth Whitening

It’s not a news flash to say that we’d all like to have a beautiful smile, and the whitest teeth possible. At The Fort Collins Dentist, teeth whitening is one of the procedures we are asked about the most often.

The reality, of course, is that the color of teeth can vary greatly from one person to the next. In fact, many people have teeth that are yellowish or gray, or otherwise dull and off-color. And that probably accounts for the popularity of whitening toothpastes.

There’s a wide range of these toothpastes in any grocery store, along with whitening strips and similar products. They contain abrasives that polish the teeth, and help to dissolve stains.

Types of Stains

There are two kinds of stains on teeth: extrinsic and intrinsic.

• Extrinsic Stains: Extrinsic stains are surface stains. We’re all vulnerable to them, because they’re the type of teeth stains that come from things like coffee, cola, and other beverages. Tobacco is also a major staining agent, whether it’s smoked or chewed.
• Intrinsic Stains: These are stains that are within the enamel of the tooth itself. They are often caused by antibiotics such as tetracycline.

What To Do?

Whitening products from the store can be effective. But they do not have the whitening power of professional teeth whitening. One of the major drawbacks of whitening toothpaste is that the results don’t usually last. They also don’t whiten teeth more than a shade or so, and some patients report sensitivity after using them.

At The Fort Collins Dentist, our teeth whitening can whiten your teeth up to eight shades, leaving you with a brilliant white smile. People from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor come to our office for whitening and other cosmetic dentistry services. Contact us today!

There are many effective cosmetic dentistry procedures that can produce great results. Complete smile makeovers combine various procedures to transform your smile. These are the same procedures used by dentists serving the Hollywood A-list.

If your teeth have grown yellow and dull over the years, professional teeth whitening from The Fort Collins Dentist can restore the natural beauty of your smile, and take years off your appearance.

Toothpaste Can’t Erase All Stains

Tooth enamel, while one of the toughest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that come in contact with our teeth bring about staining and discoloration.

There are plenty of toothpastes on the market that claim to whiten teeth, but their effectiveness has its limitations. You have probably noticed this already.

Powerful Peroxide

Professional-grade teeth whitening uses powerful peroxide that can whiten teeth up to ten shades. It is the safest, most convenient way to achieve a fabulous white smile.

Having your teeth whitened professionally can be a huge boost for your self-confidence. You’ll look younger, and find it easier to make a positive impression on other people.

To schedule a teeth whitening appointment, please call us at The Fort Collins Dentist. Patients from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor also come to us for complete restorative dentistry. Call today!

One of the most common requests we get at The Fort Collins Dentist is for teeth whitening, one of our cosmetic dentistry services.

Everyone, it seems, would like to have teeth that are whiter. Our teeth tend to grow dull or get stained as the years go by: it’s just an unfortunate fact of life.

There are three types of stains on teeth:

• Extrinsic stains are on the surface of teeth. They’re the easiest to remove, and are caused by things like coffee, tea, wine, cola, smoking and the aging process.
• Intrinsic stains form beneath a tooth’s enamel. They can be lightened but it may take a bit longer. They may be the result of trauma, tetracycline antibiotics, infection, or other factors.
• Combination are teeth with both extrinsic and extrinsic stains.

We have two options: in-office whitening and at-home whitening. Our in-office whitening takes about two hours to complete, and leaves you with a brilliant, dazzling smile. The at-home whitening also delivers fantastic results, but lets you proceed at your own pace. Both of them surpass any over-the-counter whitening products.

At The Fort Collins Dentist we’ve improved countless smiles with teeth whitening. Patients from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor also come to our office for dental implants and much more. Call to schedule an appointment with us today!

A beautiful smile leaves a lasting impression. Professional teeth whitening from The Fort Collins Dentist can dramatically improve your overall appearance and give you a boost in self-confidence.

Our teeth often turn yellow or gray as we age. The things we eat and drink continually such as colored sodas, coffee and red wine can make that discoloration even worse.

There are a lot of over-the-counter whitening products at the store, and most of them do a pretty good job whitening your teeth. But none of them are as effective as professional teeth whitening.

We offer Zoom!® Teeth Whitening and GLO Whitening, both of which leave you with a brilliant, dazzling smile in less than an hour. There is also an at-home whitening kit that delivers fantastic results, but lets you proceed at your own pace.

At The Fort Collins Dentist, teeth whitening is just one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we use to improve smiles every day. We’ve whitened the smiles of people from Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor. Schedule an appointment with us to find out what we can do for your smile!

When a cosmetic dentistry procedure becomes popular, it’s natural to want to see what all the fuss is about. But at The Fort Collins Dentist we think it’s also a good idea to know what the American Dental Association has to say, in particular about procedures such as teeth whitening.

The ADA advises patients to speak with with a dentist before starting any bleaching regimen. An oral examination will help us know if teeth whitening is right for you. This is especially critical when you have dark stains on your teeth or multiple crowns and/or fillings.

Everyone, it seems, would like to have teeth that are whiter. The good news is that it has never been easier to achieve. Just take a look at all the whitening products that are available in any grocery store and you’ll see what we mean. From whitening toothpastes to strips and other products, there is a lot to choose from, though none can match the results you’ll get from professional whitening.

At The Fort Collins Dentist, teeth whitening is just one of the cosmetic dentistry procedures we use to improve smiles every day. We have improved the smiles of patients throughout Loveland, Timnath, Wellington, and Windsor. Call our office to schedule an appointment today!
