Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, offering a quick and effective way to enhance your smile. At Denver Orthodontics & Dental Lounge, Dr. Desirea Scott provides professional whitening treatments that can dramatically brighten your teeth, removing years of stains and discoloration. Our carefully developed whitening protocols are designed to deliver noticeable results while ensuring your comfort and dental health remain the top priority throughout the process.
Understanding Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening works by applying specialized agents that penetrate the enamel to break down accumulated stains on and below the surface of your teeth. These stains typically come from common sources like coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and certain foods with strong pigments.
Professional whitening treatments use higher-concentration formulations than over-the-counter products, allowing for more dramatic and longer-lasting results. Unlike home remedies, our professional whitening services are customized to your specific dental needs, ensuring effective treatment without compromising your oral health.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
Immediate Boost in Confidence
A brighter smile can transform your entire appearance, helping you feel more confident in both personal and professional situations. Many patients report feeling more willing to smile in photographs and social gatherings after whitening treatments. This newfound confidence often extends beyond your smile, positively influencing how you present yourself to the world.
Non-Invasive Cosmetic Enhancement
Unlike many cosmetic dental procedures, whitening is completely non-invasive and requires no removal of tooth structure. There’s no drilling, no anesthesia, and typically no discomfort during the procedure. This makes whitening an excellent option for those seeking cosmetic improvements without committing to more extensive dental work.
Quick Results with Minimal Time Investment
Professional whitening treatments at Denver Orthodontics & Dental Lounge can brighten your smile by several shades in just one appointment. Most in-office treatments take between 60-90 minutes, making it possible to fit this smile-enhancing procedure into your busy schedule. You’ll walk out of our office with immediately visible results.
Customized Treatment for Your Unique Needs
Your teeth and sensitivity levels are unique, which is why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach to whitening. Dr. Scott carefully evaluates your dental condition and whitening goals before recommending a personalized treatment plan. This customization ensures optimal results while minimizing any potential sensitivity.
Enhanced Appearance of Dental Work
Whitening can help improve the overall appearance of your smile by creating a more uniform look. When your natural teeth are brighter, they can better match the shade of existing restorations or create an improved foundation before new dental work. This comprehensive approach ensures a more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious smile.
Our Teeth Whitening Process
Comprehensive Smile Assessment
Dr. Desirea Scott begins with a thorough examination of your teeth to determine your current shade and evaluate if professional teeth whitening is right for you. We’ll discuss your whitening goals, previous dental work, and any sensitivity concerns you might have. Photos of your current smile help us document your starting point and track your impressive transformation.
Your Personalized Brightening Plan
After evaluating your teeth, Dr. Scott creates a custom whitening protocol designed specifically for your smile needs. Some patients benefit most from in-office professional whitening, while others might need take-home trays or a combination approach. Your individual plan considers the current shade of your teeth, your desired brightness level, and any existing dental restorations.
Professional Whitening Application
During your whitening appointment, our team carefully protects your gums and soft tissues before applying the professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. The specialized formula breaks down years of stains while our team monitors the process for optimal results. We may apply the whitening agent several times in a single visit to achieve maximum brightness safely.
Smile Protection Strategies
Once your teeth reach their new, brighter shade, we’ll equip you with specific instructions to maintain your whitening results. This includes a list of foods and drinks to avoid initially and recommendations for sensitivity-reducing products if needed. Dr. Scott will share proven techniques to extend the life of your professional whitening investment.
Results Verification and Refinement
A brief follow-up visit with Dr. Scott ensures your teeth whitening achieved the desired results and addresses any questions about maintaining your brighter smile. We’ll compare before and after photos to showcase your transformation and discuss when you might benefit from touch-up treatments. Your continued satisfaction with your whiter smile remains our top priority at Denver Orthodontics & Dental Lounge.

FAQs
How much does teeth whitening cost?
At our office, we offer both in-office and take-home professional whitening options. Pricing varies based on the type of treatment and individual needs. We also offer flexible payment options and seasonal specials to help make achieving a brighter smile more accessible.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Most people enjoy whitening results for 6 months to 2 years, depending on lifestyle habits. Coffee lovers, red wine enthusiasts, and smokers will notice their brightness fade faster. Extending your results requires limiting staining substances, consistent oral hygiene, and occasional touch-ups with professional-grade products.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional whitening is safe for patients with healthy teeth and gums. The active ingredients have been thoroughly studied and are regulated for dental use. Some people experience temporary sensitivity during treatment, but this typically resolves within 48 hours and doesn’t indicate any permanent damage to your teeth.
How long after teeth whitening can I eat normally?
Stick to a “white diet” (clear liquids, white foods) for the first 24-48 hours when your teeth are most porous and susceptible to staining. After this initial period, gradually reintroduce colored foods and beverages. Using straws for dark drinks and rinsing with water after meals helps maintain results.
Does teeth whitening damage enamel?
Professional whitening doesn’t damage healthy enamel when used as directed. The active ingredients target stain molecules, not tooth structure. Any sensitivity experienced comes from temporary dehydration of the teeth or minor gum irritation, not enamel erosion. Overuse of whitening products, however, can potentially lead to problems.
