Highlands Ranch dentist free whitening offer

 Dr. Sarah Parsons office offers free custom fabricated whitening trays.  When new patients come in for their new patient exam, dental x-rays and cleaning we take molds of your teeth.  We then fabricate custom whitening trays from your molds that hold the whitening solution.  The dental whitening solutionsis various concentrations of carbamide peroxide.  Wearing the custom crafted teeth whitening trays is one of the most effective methods used to whiten teeth.  In particular… difficult colored teeth are most effectively whitened using this technique

Difficult teeth to whiten

Our Highlands Ranch dentists feels the basic color or hue of your teeth determines how you teeth will whiten if at all.  As an example teeth stained with tetracycline can be difficult to impossible to completely whiten.  The next most difficult color is teeth with gray hues.  It seems that patients with gray teeth take so much longer to whiten and the outcome is not as remarkable as those patients with yellow hues.

Alternative to teeth whitening

Alternatives to teeth whitening for the most part include either direct or indirect dental veneers. For significant discoloration porcelain type dental veneers are most effective in most cases. The cost of dental veneerscan be substantial running around $1500 each (circa 2011). It certainly does not hurt to try some type or types of dental whitening before considereing dental veneers

Study of the safety of teeth whitening agents on enamel

In the April issue of the “Journal of American Dental Association” (ADA) Cadenaro et al present a study on the safety of whitening agents on the enamel surface. In this study they performed the study “on patients” (in vivo) versus other studies that were done on samples in the laboratory (in vitro). Highlands Ranch dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide a variety of cosmetic dental services in their dental office including both one-hour teeth whitening (LUMA) and take home tray whitening.

Methods used in this teeth whitening study

In this study 20 participants were recruited who wish to have tooth bleaching. The material selected for this study was a 38% hydrogen perioxide bleaching agent. The researchers bleached the participants teeth four times at one-week intervals.

Results and conclusions on tooth whitening

The results showed no significant difference in surface roughness when compared to baseline. The conclusion from the researchers is 38% hydrogen peroxide in-office whitening gels showed no alteration of the enamel surfaces.

Highlands Ranch Teeth whitening Dental office

Our office uses both one hour teeth whitening process as well a overnight tray whitening system. The overnight systems use a much lower concentration of whitening gel. Our office has found that some colors of teeth are more difficult to whiten than other. As an example… tetracycline staining may or may not whiten significantly with gray hues the next most difficult. Yellow hues by in large are much easier to whiten
