5280’s Guide to Safe Teeth Whitening After a Summer Tan


teeth whitening

Summer in Denver means sun-kissed skin, mountain hikes, and weekend getaways. But while your bronzed glow may be picture-perfect, it can make your teeth look a bit dull in contrast. If you’ve recently gotten a tan and want your smile to shine just as bright, here’s 5280 Teeth Whitening’s expert guide to safely whitening your teeth post-summer.


1. Understand the Contrast

A tan can naturally make teeth appear whiter—but this effect is only temporary. Once your tan fades, any discoloration or yellowing of your teeth becomes more noticeable. That’s why the post-summer season is the perfect time to refresh your smile with a safe and professional whitening treatment.


2. Avoid DIY Whitening Gimmicks

Over-the-counter whitening strips or pastes may promise results, but they can cause sensitivity—especially if your skin has been exposed to sun or UV rays recently. Sun exposure can also lead to dry lips and gums, which makes them more vulnerable to irritation from harsh chemicals. Stick with professional options designed with safety in mind.


3. Go Gentle on Sensitive Teeth

If your summer fun included sipping cold drinks or enjoying acidic fruits, your enamel might already be a bit sensitive. 5280 Teeth Whitening offers sensitive teeth whitening solutions that brighten your smile without causing pain or discomfort. Our advanced ConfidENT system is gentle, effective, and tailored to your individual needs.


4. Hydrate and Protect

After spending time in the sun, hydration is key—not just for your skin but also for your oral health. Drink plenty of water, and consider using a fluoride rinse to help restore moisture and strengthen enamel before and after your whitening session.


5. Trust the Pros at 5280

At 5280 Teeth Whitening, we understand the science behind a safe and radiant smile. Whether you’re preparing for a fall event or simply want to boost your post-summer confidence, we’re here to help you glow—safely and beautifully.
