A laser is "not" used to whiten teeth
Over they years there has been some sloppy terminology in regards to whiteing. To describe the light used some coined the term laser whitening. There for the first things to review on Laser tooth whitening is the light is NOT a laser. This light has a specific very bright wave lengths but technically not a laser. Make no mistake the light like a laser emits wavelengths of light that can damage your eyes so use protective eye wear when near either. Highlands Ranch dentist Dr. James DeLapp and Dr. H. Candace DeLapp provide cosmetic dental services for their patients in Denver, Castle Pines, Lone Tree, Centennial, Parker, Greenwood Village, and Centennial Colorado.

How does staining begins
Most of us begin life with white teeth and over time diet, drink, smoking (etc). stain and discolor our teeth. In time our teeth can appear yellow...gray... or brown in color.
The many techniques to bleach your teeth
There are several techniques used to bleach teeth. In reality... most are effective to varying degrees. The bottom line to bleaching is ... "bleach time on tooth". 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 Highlands Ranch dentist opinion bleaching 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 office-
- Universal fit dental trays
- Whitening strips over -the -counter
Combined tooth whitening techniques
Our Highlands Ranch dentist has found in difficult to whiten teeth that several techniques may need to be combined to whiten your teeth. Colors like gray or tetracycline staining can be very difficult 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 is a quick affordable and reliable technique.
