All Local, All The Time
Many patients we at Niwot Dental chat with have a desire to change and lighten the
color of their teeth. They want their teeth to really shine, and feel the pressure of societal
expectations for that “Hollywood White” smile have only grown with the advent of social media.
Many are hesitant to professionally whiten and when asked why, one of the most common
responses we get is “because I’ve tried all the whitening toothpastes and rinses and they don’t
work.” It is crucial to understand that while these products are commonplace and you are
inundated by them in the toothpaste aisle at the supermarket, they simply don’t whiten your
teeth. Any over the counter paste or rinse uses an abrasive to “remove surface staining.” The
fact is, to whiten below the surface, a professional whitening at your dentist’s office is the gold
standard. Predictable, safe, effective and fast, with none of the guessing or potential for severe
sensitivity that can come from going it alone.
With different options for same day whitening or custom trays to whiten in the comfort of
your own home, we would be happy to discuss these and any other dental related questions
you may have. If you’ve been curious about brightening your smile for the summer months,
stop in and talk with us, we can help!
