Bleaching or tooth whitening at our Denver area practice is a simple process using oxygenating agents to lighten or brighten discolored teeth. It is most effective with teeth that discolored from age, tobacco, food and drink colorations, and other conditions. We have two methods of tooth whitening - in the office or at home.

Yes. Studies have shown that the bleaching process does not cause long lasting harm to the tooth. Occasionally, tooth sensitivity occurs in a small percentage of patients but this disappears when bleaching is discontinued.

Regardless of how well you care for your teeth, it is inevitable that, over time, some yellowing or discoloration will occur. Discoloration can be caused by aging, the consumption of substances that stain your teeth (such as coffee, tea or tobacco), excessive fluoride, or the deterioration of a tooth's nerve. We offer an in-office whitening treatment, which can be completed within a one-hour appointment. We also have in-home methods you can perform yourself.

Teeth whitening, tooth whitening and power bleaching teeth are all the same. Teeth become stained because of food and drinks such as tea, coffee and red wine. There are many other reasons for tooth discolouration and smoking tobacco is one of the main causes. The main ingredient in teeth whitening is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged.

Generally, bleaching is successful in at least 90 percent of patients, though it may not be an option for everyone. Consider tooth bleaching if your teeth are darkened from age, coffee, tea or smoking. Teeth darkened with the color of yellow, brown or orange respond better to lightening. Other types of gray stains caused by fluorosis, smoking or tetracycline are lightened, but results are not as dramatic.

Only then is a person able to practice as a Naturopathic doctor. It varies from state to state.

Today there are many options for teeth bleaching or whitening. There are over-the-counter whitening toothpastes and whitening products as well as professional whitening systems. These dentist-administered systems can be done in-office by the dentist (power bleaching) or at home using professional products. Whitening toothpastes DO NOT work. The drugstore whitening products have bulky uncomfortable moulds and do not retain the bleach properly causing some bleach to be swallowed.

Bleaching products brighten teeth that have been stained or darkened by food, tobacco use, age, injury or other causes that cannot be corrected with regular brushing or professional cleaning. There are a variety of in-office and take-home whitening products to reduce or eliminate such stains. In-office bleaching, also called chair side bleaching, takes place over a series of one-hour appointments at your dentist’s office.
