Brighten Your Smile with Professional Whitening Treatments

If your teeth have become stained or discolored over time, professional teeth whitening can help you restore a radiant, youthful smile. At Carlson Family Dentistry & Implants, we offer safe, effective whitening options that outperform over-the-counter products.

Whether your discoloration is due to coffee, wine, tobacco, or natural aging, our whitening treatments are customized to your needs. We offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home trays for gradual whitening on your schedule. Dr. Cade Carlson and Dr. Cassidy Mennen are here to help you achieve a noticeably whiter smile with long-lasting results.

Why Choose Professional Whitening?

Store-bought whitening products can be inconsistent and often lead to tooth sensitivity. At our Littleton office, we use professional-grade bleaching agents that are both powerful and safe for enamel. Benefits of professional whitening include:

More even, consistent whitening results
Custom treatment based on the shade of your natural teeth
Reduced risk of sensitivity and gum irritation
Faster, more noticeable improvement than store-bought kits

For patients undergoing a smile makeover or receiving porcelain veneers, whitening is often the first step to ensure a uniform smile.

What to Expect During Treatment

We offer two main whitening options:

In-Office Whitening – Achieve a whiter smile in a single visit using concentrated whitening gel and specialized light technology. It’s ideal for events or anyone wanting immediate results.
Custom Take-Home Trays – We create custom-fitted trays filled with prescription-strength whitening gel, allowing you to whiten at home over 10–14 days with less sensitivity.

We also perform dental cleanings prior to whitening to remove plaque and ensure even results. If you have existing dental restorations such as crowns or fillings, we’ll discuss how whitening may or may not affect their shade.
