Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening at Arapahoe Dental brightens your smile by several shades using doctor-prescribed treatments — in-office, take-home, or a combination of both.
Professional whitening uses a peroxide-based gel applied at the practice or with custom take-home trays to lighten the color of your teeth.
After an evaluation at the Boulder office, Dr. Luciano Retana recommends either an in-office treatment, a take-home tray system, or a combination. Take-home trays are customized to fit your teeth precisely.
Whitening reverses years of staining from coffee, tea, wine, and age. Most patients see results in a single visit or after a few days of take-home use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about teeth whitening.
Anyone wanting a brighter smile whose teeth have dulled or yellowed from coffee, wine, age, or everyday staining. It's one of the simplest ways to refresh your appearance.
Whitening is doctor-prescribed and can be done in-office for fast results, with take-home trays, or a combination. The approach is matched to your teeth and the result you're after.
In-office whitening takes about an hour. Take-home trays work gradually over a couple of weeks of short daily sessions.
Whitening works on natural teeth but not on crowns, veneers, or fillings, so existing dental work won't change shade. It's worth planning around any visible restorations.
Some temporary sensitivity is common and fades within a day or two. Easing off deeply staining foods and drinks early on helps the results last longer.
