Imagine watching years of coffee stains, wine discoloration, and everyday yellowing disappear in just a single office visit. Professional teeth whitening offers one of the most advanced and efficient methods for brightening your smile. This cosmetic procedure harnesses the power of concentrated whitening agents to transform your smile from dull to dazzling, often brightening teeth by up to eight shades in just 60-90 minutes.
At Sopris Smiles, we take pride in offering our patients state-of-the-art teeth whitening services in Englewood, Colorado. Dr. Golnaz Samimifar and our team utilize the latest dental technology and techniques, including the KoR Whitening System, to deliver exceptional whitening results in a comfortable and welcoming environment. As a practice emphasizing innovation and tailored care, we’re devoted to helping you achieve the brilliant smile you’ve always wanted.
Professional whitening treatments provide significant advantages over store-bought alternatives. Our dental-grade whitening systems use higher concentrations of active ingredients, allowing us to achieve dramatic results in a controlled, safe environment. Unlike generic whitening strips or trays, our treatments are customized to your specific requirements and monitored by dental professionals.
Getting your whitening treatment done by a professional also allows us to address any underlying dental issues before whitening begins. This comprehensive evaluation ensures your teeth and gums are healthy enough for treatment and helps prevent sensitivity or other complications that can occur with unsupervised whitening.
When you choose professional whitening, you’re investing in both your oral health and your appearance. Nearly 20% of adults have had professional teeth whitening, making it the most common cosmetic dental procedure currently performed. Our team can identify potential problems like cavities or gum disease that could interfere with whitening results or cause discomfort during treatment. We’ll address these issues first, ensuring your whitening experience is comfortable and effective.
Professional whitening typically lightens teeth by several shades in just one appointment. These results often last significantly longer than over-the-counter products because we use more effective formulations and provide you with proper maintenance guidance. Many patients are amazed by the transformation they see after just one visit.
The longevity of professional whitening results depends on several factors, including your diet, lifestyle habits, and oral hygiene routine. However, most patients enjoy their brighter smile for 1-3 years before needing touch-up treatments, making professional whitening an excellent investment in your appearance.
Professional supervision during whitening treatments ensures your safety and comfort throughout the process. We use protective barriers to shield your gums and soft tissues from the whitening gel, preventing irritation and sensitivity. Our experienced team monitors your progress and can adjust the treatment as needed to maximize results while minimizing any discomfort.
Many patients worry about tooth sensitivity during whitening treatments. While some sensitivity is normal, professional whitening systems are designed to minimize this side effect. We may recommend desensitizing treatments before or after your whitening procedure to ensure your comfort and optimal results.

Sopris Smiles is proud to offer the KoR Whitening System, which is widely recognized as one of the most effective professional whitening treatments available. This revolutionary system combines in-office and at-home treatments for optimal results that can last for years.
KoR works differently from traditional whitening methods. Rather than simply removing surface stains, it restores your teeth’s natural ability to absorb oxygen, allowing the whitening gel to penetrate more deeply and effectively. This makes KoR particularly effective for treating stubborn stains from coffee, wine, tobacco, and even tetracycline discoloration.
The KoR system includes custom-fitted trays that you wear at home, followed by an in-office treatment to maximize your results. Many patients see improvements of 8-10 shades or more, with results that remain stable for years with proper maintenance. The system is so effective that it can even whiten teeth that have been considered “impossible to whiten” by other methods.
What sets KoR apart is its unique refrigerated storage system that maintains the potency of the whitening gel from the moment it’s manufactured until it reaches your teeth. This ensures maximum effectiveness and consistent results that other systems simply cannot match.
Your professional whitening treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Samimifar will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and suggest the most suitable treatment approach for your individual needs. We’ll also take photos to document your initial level of whiteness and track your progress throughout your treatment.
During in-office treatments, we carefully protect your gums and soft tissues before applying the whitening gel. The process is comfortable, and many patients use this time to relax, listen to music, or catch up on reading. Depending on your chosen treatment, you may need multiple sessions to achieve your desired results.
For at-home components of your treatment, we’ll provide custom-fitted trays and professional-grade whitening gel. These trays are far more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter versions because they’re made specifically for your teeth. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to use your trays safely and effectively.
Professional whitening results can last for years with proper care. We’ll provide you with detailed instructions on how to maintain your new smile, including recommendations for whitening toothpaste, foods and drinks to avoid, and touch-up treatments when needed.
Making changes to your lifestyle can also help preserve your whitening results. Limiting your consumption of staining beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, or using a straw when drinking them, can help maintain your bright smile. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with routine dental cleanings, are crucial for supporting your teeth’s health and whiteness.
Many patients find occasional touch-up treatments help maintain their desired shade in the long term. These touch-ups are typically shorter and less intensive than the original treatment, making them a convenient way to maintain your smile’s appearance.
Professional teeth whitening results typically last from six months to two years, depending on your habits and lifestyle. Avoiding staining substances like coffee, red wine, and tobacco can significantly extend your results. Regular touch-ups can help maintain your bright smile indefinitely.
While whitening is safe for most patients, it’s not recommended for everyone. Pregnant women, children under 16, and patients with certain dental conditions may need to consider alternative options. During your consultation, we’ll determine if whitening is appropriate for your specific situation.
Most patients see an improvement of several shades after just one in-office treatment. The exact results depend on your starting shade and the nature of your discoloration. During your consultation, we can provide a realistic expectation based on your unique dental condition.
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity during or after whitening treatments. At Sopris Smiles, we take multiple precautions to minimize discomfort, including desensitizing treatments before and after your procedure. Any sensitivity typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
In-office whitening delivers dramatic results in a single visit using professional-strength whitening agents. Take-home whitening provides more gradual improvement over 1-2 weeks using custom-fitted trays and professional-grade gel that’s milder than in-office treatments. Many patients choose a combination of both for optimal results.
It’s important to address any gum disease or dental issues before undergoing teeth whitening treatments. The whitening agents can exacerbate existing problems and cause additional pain or sensitivity. We’ll perform a thorough examination before recommending any whitening treatment to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for the procedure.
Both hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide are effective whitening agents, but they work differently. Hydrogen peroxide acts more quickly and is typically used in in-office treatments. Carbamide peroxide releases hydrogen peroxide more slowly, making it ideal for take-home treatments where the gel remains on teeth for longer periods. Our dental team will recommend the most appropriate option based on your specific needs and sensitivity level.
