Thankfully, Lincoln Peak Dental can help you get pearly white teeth with professional-grade teeth whitening in our office and in the comfort of your own home.

Our whitening services, highly recommended by dentist Dr. Brian Saltzman can whiten your teeth by several shades, helping you keep your amazing results for much longer than alternative products. We utilize professional-strength solutions that actually do the job, reaching beneath the surface of your teeth to address deep stains, instead of consumer-level solutions that just scratch the surface (quite literally) and provide a brighter color of yellow at the very best.

While contemplating the pros and cons of professional vs. store-bought whitening solutions, you ought to think about what you are really trying to achieve. If your smile has been white your entire life and only recently is starting to yellow, a grocery-store purchased kit could create great results, but only temporarily. If your teeth have deeper stains, you may be a good candidate for professional-strength, in-office teeth whitening at Lincoln Peak Dental. If you want home touch-ups, Dr. Saltzman can additionally offer at-home customized trays that can be used in conjunction with our whitening solutions for maintenance.

What you should expect for your whitening treatments is dependent on the procedure chosen by Dr. Saltzman. Since our clinic offers a few different options for effective and professional teeth whitening, the process selected for you will be decided upon after an appointment where your aesthetic goals and lifestyle are discussed and taken into consideration. In the majority of situations, your professional teeth whitening sessions will be carried out in under one hour through the application of a professional-strength whitening gel, combined with the assistance of a light system that immediately cures and whitens the teeth several shades. Our at-home systems are also effective but might offer a more subtle outcome over a few months.

Following either an at-home or in-office teeth whitening session, you may experience sensitivity to cold or hot food, but this typically dissipates within a couple of days. Once the whitening procedure is finished, we typically suggest returning for touch-ups a couple of times annually, along with professional cleanings that will benefit your oral wellbeing. Bear in mind that just because your teeth are whitened doesn't necessarily indicate that they're in perfect health. That's why regular examinations are still important. You'll also be provided careful instructions regarding what food should and shouldn't be consumed in the future, for example, coffee and red wine.

Since teeth whitening is deemed elective and cosmetic in nature, it isn't commonly covered by dental insurance providers. However, our experienced billing staff can assess your dental coverage to see whether any portion of your in-office or at-home teeth whitening is covered by your dental insurance to reduce the price of your treatment. If you do not carry dental insurance, we'd be delighted to share with you the various payment options we accept.

Whitening can create quick and dramatic improvements to your teeth and quite possibly your total appearance. In case you have been considering a teeth whitening regimen, but aren't sure whether professional or over-the-counter options are the proper solution, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with dentist Dr. Brian Saltzman to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of your whitening options.
