Teeth Whitening

Dr. Brian J. Polidori gives patients brighter smiles on their own schedules using Opalescence Go™ and the KöR® System.
Whether you prefer at-home or in-office teeth whitening, they all start with a consultation. Visit our friendly Lakewood, CO, team to begin.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening uses a hydrogen peroxide solution to bleach your teeth. Unlike whitening toothpaste and other store-bought options, our concentrated formulas create immediate, lasting results. Our knowledgeable dentist offers strong but safe whitening gel and comfortable trays to brighten your enamel.
Whitening Toothpaste Pales in Comparison to Dentist-Directed Bleaching
Buying a tube of toothpaste can seem like an easy fix for dental stains. However, as you use it, you may see how little it helps.
Whitening toothpaste does not have the same concentration of bleaching solution as whitening gels used by dental professionals. Toothpaste is also given less time to work — just two minutes, twice a day.
Instead of wasting time and money on toothpaste, come visit Dr. Polidori at our dental office in Lakewood, CO . He can help you brighten stubborn stains or discoloration with a safe and effective teeth whitening treatment.
Tired of Ineffective Whitening Treatments? Visit a Trusted Dentist
Over-the-counter whitening treatments like strips, pens, and toothpaste are a one-size-fits-all solution that leaves most with lackluster results. They also tend to have less powerful formulas, which means they don't offer the same results as dentist-directed whitening — even if you use them faithfully for months.
Dr. Polidori uses effective methods and can adjust the concentration of your bleaching solution, accounting for sensitive teeth. That's not something over-the-counter whitening treatments can do. He features two kinds of teeth whitening: Opalescence Go and the KöR System.

Opalescence Go
If you have sensitive teeth, you may be a great candidate for Opalescence Go. This take-home whitening kit comes in two options, each with its own specific concentration of hydrogen peroxide.
The trays must be worn for 5-10 days, but for different amounts of time, depending on the concentration of the gel. Patients with sensitive teeth may prefer the trays with 10% hydrogen peroxide, which are worn for 30-60 minutes. Those who want quicker results and don't have tooth sensitivity may consider the formula with 15% hydrogen peroxide. Those trays can be worn for just 15-20 minutes.
KöR Whitening System Additional Benefits
Still trying to pick the best option to whiten your teeth? Some of the other advantages of KöR whitening include:
Deep-Reaching Whitening
The KöR system is effective at bleaching dark, internal, tetracycline-stained teeth that at one time could only be concealed with porcelain veneers , dental bonding , or crowns .
Easy Maintenance
There is no need to give up coffee, tea, red wine, or your favorite foods with KöR teeth whitening. You may require some touch-up treatments for any new stains or discoloration, but we can provide periodic whitening upkeep.
Custom Trays
The KöR system uses custom trays to fit your teeth. This means an easier and more comfortable fit that can lead to more precise results, as the trays allow the gel to reach the nooks and crannies of your teeth.
Opalescence Go Additional Benefits
Opalescence Go is an excellent teeth whitening treatment, with advantages like:
Pleasant Taste
Bad-tasting whitening gels can lead to an uncomfortable sensory experience. With Opalescence Go, the hydrogen peroxide solution can taste like mint or melon, depending on your preferences.
No Fittings
If you have a busy schedule, you might not have time to spend on a tray fitting. If you have a big event on the horizon, you may not want to wait for your trays to be made. Opalescence Go kits have pre-filled whitening trays that are ready to whiten your teeth immediately.
Inclusive Formula
Opalescence Go is made from a completely vegan whitening formula. It's also kosher and gluten-free, so we consider it to be a whitening system considerate of patients' unique needs.
We Accept Financing For Teeth Whitening
/
Though teeth whitening isn't covered by dental insurance, there is a way to make any treatment costs more manageable. We accept CareCredit® financing , which allows patients who qualify to pay for teeth whitening treatment over several months.
The KöR Whitening Treatment Process
Done with ineffective whitening toothpaste and other store-bought products? Enjoy both dentist-directed care and convenient at-home treatment when you whiten your teeth with the Kör System.
Our dentist stays up to date with continuing education so he can continue to provide his patients with the best results.

The Dr did a phenomenal job as well as the staff with being a new patient. They don't pressure and will give treatment plans to whatever they feel is necessary.
I had anxiety going in and continued to have it when in the chair. They did everything they could to relax me. The doctor, and the staff where very professional and polite, I definitely recommend.
