A brighter smile can make a big difference. If your teeth are stained or discolored from coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or just age, we can help. At Suncreek Dental Group in Lakewood, CO, we offer teeth whitening treatments that are safe, fast, and work well. Whether you’re getting ready for a big event or just want to feel more confident, our whitening options can make your smile shine again.
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a simple way to remove stains and make your teeth look whiter. Over time, things like food, drinks, and smoking can darken your teeth. Even brushing every day might not be enough to keep them bright. Whitening works by using a special gel that breaks down stains and lightens the color of your teeth. It doesn’t hurt, and we make sure it’s safe for your gums and enamel.
There are two main ways we help whiten teeth:
- In-Office Whitening:
This method is fast. You’ll come in for one visit, and we’ll apply a strong whitening gel to your teeth. We use advanced tools to speed up the process. Most patients see results right away, with their teeth looking several shades whiter in just one hour. - Take-Home Whitening Kits:
If you prefer to whiten at your own pace, we can create custom trays that fit your teeth. You’ll use them with our professional-grade gel at home. Just wear the trays for a short time each day for about two weeks. You’ll see steady improvements and a natural-looking white smile.

Who Gets Teeth Whitening?
Whitening is popular with people of all ages. Whether you’re a teen getting ready for prom or an adult who wants a boost of confidence for work or dating, this treatment can help. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have yellow or brown stains on your teeth.
- Your teeth are healthy, with no untreated cavities or gum disease.
- You don’t have dental restorations like crowns or veneers in the front of your mouth (whitening gel doesn’t change their color).
- You want to see quick results or prefer to whiten at your own pace.
Whitening doesn’t work the same for everyone, so we’ll check your teeth first and talk about what results you can expect. Some stains — like those from certain medications — may not respond to whitening, but we can suggest other options to improve your smile.
Benefits of Whitening Your Teeth with a Dentist
You might have seen store-bought whitening strips or kits online. But there’s a big difference between those and professional whitening. Here’s why:
- Better Results: Our whitening gel is stronger than anything you can buy in stores. That means faster, longer-lasting results.
- Custom Fit: Whitening trays from our office fit your mouth exactly, which helps the gel stay where it should and work better.
- Safer for Your Gums: We protect your gums and soft tissues during treatment so they don’t get irritated.
- Personalized Care: If your teeth are sensitive or you’ve had dental work before, we can adjust the treatment to make sure it’s right for you.
- Quicker Treatment Time: In-office whitening can brighten your smile in about an hour. That’s perfect if you have a big event coming up.
