Lafayette Whiter Smiles

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Lafayette Pediatric Dentistry Wishing for a whiter smile in Lafayette but not sure how to get it? New to smile tooth whitening lingo in Colorado? At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we educate clients on the variety of Boulder affordable teeth whiting treatments; from whitening trays to teeth bleaching to opalescence whitening or smile whitening in Louisville, Longmont or Brommfield.

Almost every toothpaste claims to whiten teeth, but as we age our teeth gradually turn yellow or gray, despite all the whitening toothpastes we use regularly. Tooth enamel, while one of the hardest substances in the body, is porous. Over time, the food and drinks that comes in contact with our teeth cause staining and discoloration. You probably have already discovered that a toothbrush cannot clean these microscopic pores.

Carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide are the two main smile whitening ingredients. They can penetrate the outer layer of your teeth to remove the build-up, and help restore whitening to teeth. Call Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry at 303-665-5335 to schedule an appointment and we will explain the difference between these tooth bleaching ingredients and how they may affect your smile whitening results in Lafayette.

Boulder at-home teeth whitening products are probably not a good choice if you have dental crowns or porcelain veneers. You could end up with extremely uneven results or possible damage to your existing Colorado cosmetic dentistry.

We know the best Lafayette teeth bleaching options and can recommend the perfect white smile solution for you.

At Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, we hope to see you soon. Give us a call at 303-665-5335.
