Brighten Your Smile with Professional In-Office Whitening
A whiter smile can make a lasting first impression, boost your confidence, and help you feel great about your appearance. At Alpine Dental Care, we offer professional in-office teeth whitening that delivers fast, noticeable results without the sensitivity and inconsistent outcomes of store-bought products.
Our whitening treatments are designed to safely lift years of stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and natural aging. In just one visit, you can expect a visibly brighter smile that looks natural and feels refreshed — all under the care of a team that prioritizes your comfort and results.
We welcome patients from Cortez, Dolores, Mancos, and other nearby areas who are looking for an effective and trusted way to enhance their smiles.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
Many over-the-counter products promise dramatic results, but they often come with limitations — uneven whitening, gum irritation, and short-term effects. Our in-office treatment provides:
- A brighter smile in a single visit
- Even, consistent whitening across all visible teeth
- Minimal to no tooth sensitivity
- Expert application for safe, controlled results
- Long-lasting outcomes with proper care
If you’ve tried whitening strips or gels without success, professional whitening may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
What to Expect During Your Whitening Visit
Your whitening appointment is quick, simple, and comfortable. After a brief exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy, we’ll apply a high-grade whitening gel to your teeth and use a specialized light to accelerate the process. The entire treatment takes about an hour, and you’ll leave the office with a smile that’s several shades brighter.
We recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam before your whitening visit to ensure the best possible outcome. If you're due for preventive care, visit our Cleanings & Exams page for more information.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Whitening?
Teeth whitening works best for patients with healthy teeth and gums and visible surface staining. If you have restorations such as crowns or veneers, it’s important to know those won't whiten — but we’ll help you create a treatment plan that considers your full smile. Learn more about our crowns and veneers services if you're interested in a more comprehensive cosmetic solution.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
How long does teeth whitening last?
The results of professional teeth whitening can last from several months to a year, depending on your eating and drinking habits. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine can help prolong your results.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, professional teeth whitening is safe when performed by a qualified dental professional. Our treatments are designed to minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel, ensuring that your teeth stay healthy throughout the process.
How much whiter will my teeth be after treatment?
The exact results vary from person to person, but most patients experience teeth that are 5-8 shades whiter after just one session. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your desired outcome and what you can expect from the treatment.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of stains?
Professional teeth whitening is highly effective on most common stains caused by food, drinks, and aging. However, it may not be as effective on stains caused by certain medications or tooth trauma. In such cases, we may recommend other cosmetic treatments like veneers or bonding to achieve your desired results.
