A laser is "not" used to whiten teeth Lone Tree Colorado Dentist

There has been some sloppy terminology in regards to whitening. Some have incorrectly termed this light activated whitening as Laser Whitening. The first things to review on Laser tooth whitening is the light is NOT a laser.

Luma whitening and other systems use bright lights not lasers

This light has a specific... very bright wave lengths but technically is not a laser. Make no mistake about it the light like a laser emits wavelengths of light that can damage your eyes. Please use protective eye wear when near either. Lone Tree Colorado Dentists Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide cosmetic dental services for their patients in Denver, Castle Pines Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Parker, Greenwood Village, and Centennial Colorado.

Staining begins early in life

Most of us begin life with white teeth and over time foods in your diet or...drink or... smoking stain and discolor your teeth. In time your teeth can appear yellow...gray... or brown in color.

There are many techniques to bleach or whiten your teeth

There are several techniques used to whiten or bleach teeth. In reality... most are effective to varying degrees. The bottom line to bleaching is ...the time the bleach is on the tooth and how concentrated the solution is. The more concentrated the solution... the less time needed to be on the tooth. Low concentrations found in over- the- counter products need much more time. In our Lone Tree Colorado dentist opinion.. bleaching or whitening toothpastes are for the most part ineffective. The techniques use include but are not limited to:

• One hour -two hour bleaching technique (Luma etc.)
• Custom dental tray fabricated in our Lone Tree Dental office
  
• Universal fit dental trays
• Whitening strips over -the -counter
  

Combining tooth whitening technique for difficult to whiten teeth

Our Lone Tree dentist has found in difficult to whiten or bleach teeth that several techniques may need to be combined to whiten your teeth. Colors with gray hues or tetracycline staining can be very difficult/impossible to whiten to any great degree. Dental veneers may be the only effective solution

Our Highlands Ranch dentist have helped hundreds of patients achieve a white smile everyone desires. Power whitening with Luma (with the bright light) is a quick affordable and reliable technique.
