Is teeth whitening safe for everyone?

Teeth whitening is a safe, comfortable way for any age, which desires a bright, white smile. Results and treatment time may vary depending on the level of staining and whiteness desired.



Is teeth whitening effective on existing dental work?

Crowns/caps, bridges, veneers, bonding, and dentures will whiten back to their original color. Like natural teeth, they accumulate surface (top) stain over time. The treatment will remove the surface stain, however will not be able to lighten them beyond their original shade.



How white will my teeth be after the treatment?

Each smile is unique. Genetics, age and starting shade all play a factor into the final shade result. Natural teeth shades are based on the tooth undertone and have a natural level of whiteness. We remove the stain from the top, enamel and dentin layer to expose your natural whiteness. Some people have more a white undertone, whereas, the majority have tan, yellow or brown undertone so even after whitening their teeth may not be as white. The vast majority of patients are able to achieve their desired lightness in one Ultra Premium or Super Premium Teeth Whitening appointment, however a second appointment may be recommended to attain desired results.



How long will teeth whitening results last?

Teeth whitening results are very stable, leaving you with a stunning smile long after treatment is over. There are a few factors that can make teeth lose their luster. Factors such as genetics, diet, age, some medications (chemo, tetracycline), and certain habits (red wine, coffee, oral hygiene, smoking) may affect the length of your whitening results. Fortunately, touch up treatments are quick and easy, helping you get that bright, white smile back. We suggest patients touch up their smile for 20 minutes every 4 months.



Will I experience any pain or sensitivity?

The vast majority of patients experience no sensitivity. Patients with known whitening sensitivity or have sensitive teeth have the option to add on the instaSEAL finishing treatment to the end of their appointment. This treatment deposits vital minerals and vitamins, plus eliminates any sensitiviy as it seals your new white smile. The treatment is designed for clients who wish to have the freedom after whitening to eliminate the "30 Hour Water/White Diet " and "no tobacco rule" plus prevents any sensitivity. We are the only company in Colorado with this sealant and no restrictions.



How is professional whitening different than strips or trays?

Professional whitening will remove the stain off all of the layers of the teeth; the top layer, enamel and dentin layer. When you use strips and trays it is carbamide peroxide and your teeth have to break it down into hydrogren perioxide in order to whiten. Most people complain of pain and sensitivity when using strips and trays as it drys out your teeth as it is whitening. This method of products can only help to keep off the top stain, but cannot remove the other layers of stain as for every hour you use them you only have 10 mintues of whitening and your teeth do all of the work. When you have professional whitening your teeth do no work at all and you have the full time of whitening with instant results. Professinal whitening will not harm your teeth or enamel and is much safer than strips/trays plus all of the stain is gone to expose your natural whiteness. It is much less expensive to have your teeth professinally whitened and it will last longer with better results.

The whitening gel with 5280 Teeth Whitening is safe! 2 - The products are all natural so it will not harm the layers of the teeth and safe for all ages 10+ plus expecting and nursing women. This is not true for 99% of other companies who offer professinal whitening as the gel is not safe to use.
3 - 5280 Teeth Whitening is the only company allowed to offer the confiDENT teeth whitening system. It was especially formulated just for 5280 Teeth Whitening since the company specializes in sensitive teeth. We have an exclusive contract and no other company can offer the whitening system for the whitenign gel or instaSEAL finishing treatment. The other companies will use Zoom (extremley painful), DaVinci (pain and sensitivity), or Beaming White (sensitivity issues). We only use the confiDENT system as it gives the best results with no pain or sensitivity! 4 - The instaSEAL finishing treatment, which we call our "Freedom When You Leave" product will elmiininate the "30 hour dietary restritions plus tobacoo use" as it will close up the pores of the teeth in only 10 minutes! it is highly recommended for people with sensitive teeth as it will deposit vitamins and minerals back into the teeth to restore the health of the tooth. There is no other company who can claim to have a true sealant in Colorado! Just an FYI, if they claim to have a sealant, there shoud be no restrictions on food/beverage/tobacco immediately. We know some companies are tyring to charge customers for a sealant that doesn't work...so customer beware! 5 - The whitening consultants are highly trained and certified in advanced teeth whitening. They will advise you every step of the way and answer all your questons so you understand the process and how it works. Many of the other companies only have technicians who have had very little training and no advanced training. This can be extremley important when a cusomter has receeding gums, caps, veneers, gum grafts, bonding/composite, and upcoming dental work. The staff is highy trained to ensure you the color of your teeth match so you have a nice, white smile when you are finished! 6 - You will have your own private, spa environment treatment room! We feel it is very important, especially now, with COVID19 for you to be able to feel safe while having your whitening treatment. You will be treated wth the upmost care from the time you arrive until the time you leave with no worries of sharing a room with other people. It is very safe! We know many companies do not have private treatment rooms and cannot offer this level of safety during this time. 7 - We offer to accomodate your schedule outside of normal office hours. We know many people have extremely busy schedules and our first priority is helping the customer anyway possible. We have whiteing consultants who can accomodate your date and time, just request it!
