Professional Teeth Whitening is the fastest, most conservative way to brighten your smile. Our in-office treatment uses a 40% hydrogen peroxide formula with potassium nitrate and fluoride to lighten teeth three or more shades in about an hour.
Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? Custom-fit trays with professional-strength carbamide peroxide typically lighten teeth two to three shades with about 30 minutes of wear per day, and they’re also great for touch-ups after in-office whitening.
Veneers are thin, tooth-shaped shells that cover the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their shape, shade, and minor rotations. We offer porcelain, composite, and zirconia options, and while some cases need no drilling, most require a small amount of tooth preparation for a natural fit.
Invisalign gently moves crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth into place with nearly invisible, removable aligners. For some patients, straightening first can also reduce how much tooth preparation is needed if veneers are added later.
Old metal fillings and dark crowns can take away from an otherwise healthy smile. Tooth-Colored Fillings and Dental Crowns & Bridges made from natural-looking materials blend in with your teeth while restoring their strength.
| Treatment | Best For | Typical Results | Time Commitment | Tooth Prep Needed | How Long It Lasts* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-Office Whitening | Surface and age-related stains on natural teeth | 3+ shades lighter | About 1 hour, one visit | None | Months to a few years; touch-ups extend results |
| Take-Home Whitening Trays | Gradual whitening and touch-ups | 2–3 shades lighter | About 30 minutes a day at home | None (impressions for custom trays) | Months to a few years; trays can be reused |
| Veneers | Chipped, uneven, gapped, or deeply stained front teeth | Improved shape, shade, and minor rotations | Typically more than one visit | Usually minimal; some cases need none | Many years; porcelain and zirconia outlast composite |
| Invisalign | Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth | Straighter, more even smile | Several months of aligner wear | None | Long-term with retainer use |
*Results and longevity vary by patient, habits, and home care. Our dentists will give you personalized expectations during your consultation.
Coffee, tea, red wine, and natural aging can all dull the color of your teeth over time. Whitening lifts most of these stains, while veneers are often a better fit for deep internal discoloration that bleaching can’t reach.
Small chips and uneven edges can make a smile look older or less balanced. Veneers cover the front of the tooth to create a smoother, more uniform shape that still looks natural.
Veneers can help correct minor rotations and close small gaps for a straighter-looking smile without orthodontics. For larger alignment issues, clear aligners may be the better first step.
Weddings, graduations, reunions, and family photos are common reasons patients in the area plan cosmetic treatment. In-office whitening can be done in a single visit, but veneers typically take more than one appointment, so it’s best to start planning a few weeks ahead.
Whitening isn’t recommended for patients with very sensitive teeth, peroxide allergies, untreated cavities, or exposed root surfaces. We check your teeth and gums first and treat any underlying problems so your cosmetic results are safe, comfortable, and long-lasting.

It depends on the method. Whitening toothpastes usually improve color by about one shade and over-the-counter strips by one to two, while custom take-home trays average two to three shades and our in-office treatment typically delivers three or more.
Whitening itself isn’t painful, but some patients notice temporary sensitivity that usually fades within two to three days. Using a sensitivity toothpaste and avoiding very hot or cold drinks during that time helps keep you comfortable.
With good care, veneers can last many years, and porcelain and zirconia veneers generally last longer than composite. Brushing, flossing, regular checkups, and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth all help protect your investment.
Some veneers can be placed without any drilling, but most require removing a thin layer of enamel so the veneer fits naturally. Because that change is permanent, our dentists will explain exactly what your case requires before you decide.
Whitening only changes the color of natural teeth, not porcelain, zirconia, or composite restorations. If you’re planning both, we usually recommend whitening first so your new veneers or crowns can be matched to your brighter shade.
Call (303) 220-8075 or book online to schedule a consultation at our Greenwood Village office. We’ll talk about your goals, check the health of your teeth and gums, and recommend the options that make the most sense for your smile.
