Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Good news: most patients with healthy teeth and gums are candidates for professional teeth whitening. So, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation with us! During this visit, we will learn more about your aesthetic concerns, complete a comprehensive oral exam, and pinpoint the cause of the discoloration. From there, we can determine if teeth whitening is ideal for you and, if it is, whether you’d benefit from an in-office or take-home treatment.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Our talented cosmetic dentists in Castle Rock are proud to offer KöR Whitening. During your consultation, they will pinpoint the source of the stains, assess how severe they are, and learn more about your smile goals. That way, they can help you decide whether an in-office or take-home whitening treatment is best for you.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you’d prefer to whiten your teeth from home, but you’re sick of wasting your time and money on store-bought products, schedule an appointment with us! If we determine that you’re a good candidate for our take-home brightening treatments, then we can provide you with everything you need to get the gorgeous, noticeable results you desire on your own time.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Do you have a wedding or another important event coming up soon? If so, you may not have two weeks to commit to a whitening treatment. In that case, consider in-office teeth whitening! With our professional-grade brighteners, we can often lighten a patient’s teeth by up to eight shades in just one hour.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile

- Brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash consistently

- Use a straw when drinking red wine, soda, coffee, etc.
- Eat light-colored foods (i.e., oatmeal, bananas, plain yogurt)
- Schedule a dental checkup and cleaning every six months
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
Unfortunately, the results of your teeth whitening treatment in Castle Rock won’t last forever. There is some good news, though: you can prolong the lifespan of yours for several months if you incorporate the right habits into your routine. That starts with brushing your teeth twice a day and extends to using a straw when drinking dark-colored beverages, like coffee.
Is Teeth Whitening Covered By Dental Insurance?
Dental insurance companies usually don’t cover the cost of treatments that aren’t medically necessary, like teeth whitening. Luckily, that’s not the only way to make the cost of lifting stubborn stains more affordable. We’re proud to offer a complimentary VivaStyle LED Teeth Whitening kit after completing a full comprehensive exam, X-rays, and cleaning. Not only that, but we work with CareCredit, which is a trusted third-party financier. If you would like more details on either of these options, let us know!
What’s the Difference Between Professional and Store-Bought Teeth Whitening?
Oftentimes, patients assume that the differences between professional and store-bought whitening treatments begin and end with price. The truth is that there are several other noteworthy differences, including that our cosmetic dentist in Parker begins the process with a comprehensive oral exam to ensure the source of the stains, the health of your smile, and your unique aesthetic goals are considered. Additionally, we use high-quality, powerful, and safe brightening gels. Over-the-counter options, on the other hand, use diluted whiteners, which is why they often struggle to deliver noticeable results.
What Should I Eat After Whitening My Teeth?
It’s best to eat plain yogurt, cottage cheese, bananas, and other light-colored foods that won’t cause stubborn stains to resurface. At the same time, it’s best to avoid dark-colored ones, like beets, dark chocolate, and marinara sauce. Of course, you should also steer clear of drinks that could cause stubborn stains to resurface, including coffee, orange soda, and red wine.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
There are three main factors that impact the length of your teeth whitening treatment: whether any preliminary services are needed, whether you choose an in-office or take-home treatment, and whether more than one round of whitening is needed to achieve the desired results. That’s why it’s best to schedule a consultation sooner rather than later. During your visit, we will learn about your unique dental history, needs, and goals, determine if teeth whitening is ideal for you, and, if it is, get to work creating the healthy, confident, and stain-free smile that you desire.
Can I Drink Coffee After Teeth Whitening?
You can. However, it’s best not to, especially in the hours immediately afterward. Instead, stick to room-temperature water since it’s clear, it will help you stay hydrated, and it won’t exacerbate any sensitivity you experience. When you do decide to drink coffee again, make sure that you use a straw and rinse your mouth thoroughly with water afterward to prevent noticeable, yellow stains from quickly resurfacing.
