What It Is

Brighter teeth, safely.

Professional teeth whitening uses prescription-strength carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide gel to lighten the natural color of your teeth. The gel breaks down stain molecules within enamel, restoring the underlying brightness — without damaging tooth structure.

Blaskovich Family Dental provides custom take-home whitening trays. Impressions of your teeth are taken so the trays fit precisely, holding the gel against your teeth without leaking onto the gums. You wear them for 30–60 minutes a day for about two weeks. Most patients see 4 to 8 shades of improvement.

Custom trays out-perform over-the-counter strips because the trays seal in the gel and the gel itself is stronger than anything sold without a prescription.

The Process

How professional whitening works.

  1. 01

    Quick consultation and exam

    20 min

    Your dentist or hygienist verifies your teeth and gums are healthy and that whitening is appropriate. Cavities or gum issues are addressed before whitening begins so the gel doesn't cause sensitivity.

  2. 02

    Take impressions for custom trays

    15 min

    A quick digital scan or impression captures your teeth so trays can be made to fit precisely. The trays are fabricated within about a week.

  3. 03

    Whiten at home

    ~2 weeks

    You wear the trays with whitening gel for 30 to 60 minutes per day, depending on the gel strength chosen. Most patients see noticeable improvement within 3–5 days and full results in about 2 weeks.

  4. 04

    Maintain your results

    Ongoing

    After the initial treatment, occasional touch-up sessions (a few days every 6–12 months) keep your smile bright. You keep the custom trays for life.

FAQ

Professional Teeth Whitening — questions answered.

  • How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Pueblo West?

    Every case is different — we’ll give you a written estimate at your consultation, and we’re happy to check your insurance benefits. Take-home whitening includes your custom trays and a starter supply of whitening gel, and refill gel is available afterward. Whitening is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by dental insurance.

  • Is professional whitening safe?

    Yes. Professional whitening with custom trays has been used safely for over 30 years. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation during treatment, both of which resolve quickly after stopping. Whitening does not damage enamel or weaken teeth.

  • How long do whitening results last?

    Initial results last 1 to 3 years on average, depending on your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, dark sodas, tobacco, and aging all gradually re-darken teeth. Most patients do a few days of touch-up whitening every 6–12 months to maintain results — that's why you keep the custom trays for life.

  • Why are custom trays better than store-bought strips?

    Two reasons. First, custom trays seal against your teeth so the gel stays put, doesn't leak onto gums, and doesn't get diluted by saliva. Second, professional gel is significantly stronger than anything available without a prescription. The combination makes professional whitening dramatically more effective.

  • Will whitening work on crowns or veneers?

    No. Whitening only affects natural tooth structure. Crowns, veneers, and tooth-colored fillings will not change shade. This is why patients planning a smile makeover usually whiten first, then have new restorations made to match the new shade of their natural teeth.

  • Can whitening cause sensitivity?

    Some patients experience temporary cold sensitivity during whitening. It typically resolves within a few days of finishing treatment. Using a sensitive-formula toothpaste during whitening, taking days off between sessions, and reducing gel time per session all help. The sensitivity does not damage teeth.
