In addition to maintaining good oral health, many patients today are also interested in improving the appearance of their smiles. Teeth whitening performed by a dentist is considered to be among the safest of all cosmetic dentistry procedures. To inform our patients about teeth whitening procedures at Adler Cosmetic and Family Dentistry we present the following information in question and answer format:

Question: Can you explain the teeth whitening process at Adler Cosmetic and Family Dentistry?

Answer: Unlike porcelain veneers, regular teeth are porous and susceptible to staining. Teeth stain at different rates depending on one's mouth chemistry, diet and lifestyle (foods & drink consumed). There are numerous methods on the market today that range in price and ease of use. The premise behind most teeth whitening methods is essentially the same. A form of hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth. This application penetrates the pores of the teeth, thus bleaching out stains. The variable is in the type of application and the corresponding strength of the whitening gel. At Adler CosmeticDentistry, we recommend ZOOM™ teeth whitening system. Its advanced power gives the best value and longevity.

Question: How long does teeth whitening last?

Answer: ZOOM™ teeth whitening results can last a long time. Longevity will obviously vary depending on personal habits and lifestyle. Most people choose to use one of the many simple methods our office provides to maintain their white teeth over time, after the initial whitening procedure. Dr. Adler believes the ZOOM system is the best overall system.

Question: Is teeth whitening harmful to my teeth?

Answer: No. Studies have shown that normal teeth whitening products are not harmful to teeth. Some people may have some temporary sensitivity to the teeth whitening products.

Question: Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
Answer: There are two types of stains on teeth - superficial and inherent. Superficial stains caused by what we eat, drink and expose our teeth to. This stain is usually yellowish in nature, and yields the best teeth whitening system results. Inherent stains are caused by minerals, fluoride and various antibiotics such as tetracycline, our bodies absorb. Ingested at key developmental phases in life these substances can permanently discolor teeth, and no teeth whitening system will be the cure. In such circumstances people may choose to whiten their teeth with veneers, which corrects the stains, and tooth "look" (length & shape).

About Boulder
Boulder is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and most populous city of Boulder County, Colorado, in the United States. Boulder is the 11th most populous city in the state of Colorado. The United States Census Bureau estimates that in 2005 the population of the city of Boulder was 91,685, while the population of the Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Area was 280,440. Boulder is the home of the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state's largest university, and Naropa University, one of two accredited Buddhist-inspired universities in the United States. Located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m), Boulder is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Denver.

The City of Boulder is in Boulder Valley where the Rocky Mountains meet the Great Plains. Just west of the city are imposing slabs of sedimentary stone tilted up on the foothills, known as the Flatirons. The Flatirons are a widely recognized symbol of Boulder.

The primary water flow through the city is Boulder Creek. The creek was named well ahead of the city's founding, for all of the large granite boulders that have cascaded into the creek over the eons. It is from Boulder Creek that Boulder City and hence Boulder is believed to have taken its name. Boulder Creek has significant water flow, derived primarily from snow melt and minor springs west of the city. The creek is a tributary of the South Platte River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 25.4 square miles (65.7 km²). 24.4 square miles (63.1 km²) of it is land and 1.0 square miles (2.6 km²) of it (3.94%) is water. The 40th parallel (40 degrees north latitude) runs through Boulder and can be easily recognized as Baseline Road today.

Boulder lies in a wide basin beneath Flagstaff Mountain just a few miles east of the continental divide and about 30 miles northwest of Denver. Arapahoe glacier provides water for the city, along with Boulder Creek, which flows through the center of the city. The climate in Boulder is typically mild with dry, moderate summers and relatively comfortable winters. The city boasts more than 300 sunny or mostly sunny days each year. Nearby mountains shield Boulder from the most severe winter storms. Most precipitation occurs during the winter and spring months, with snowfall averaging 83.1 inches.

Boulder's winters are quite mild, and although large amounts of snow can fall, the effects of orographic lift usually dry out the air passing over the Front Range, shadowing the city from precipitation for much of the season. Temperatures during the winter generally average between 45°F (7°C) to 50°F (10°C) for the daytime highs, and overnight the temperatures plunge to typically settle between 17°F (-8°C) and 23°F (-5°C). These rather cold temperatures that occur overnight are mostly due to Boulder's "High-Desert" climate. Additionally, warm chinook winds occur as air passing over the mountains heats as it descends, in addition to the sunshine, quickly melting snow accumulations and making Boulder's winters relatively mild.

The summer months in Boulder are warm, with daytime highs averaging between 80°F (27°C) and 90°F (32°C), and occasional days reaching 95°F (35°C) not uncommon. Lows in the summer are in the 50°F (10°C) - 60°F (16°C) range; rather cold due to Boulder's altitude and wind patterns.

The all time highest recorded temperature in Boulder of 104°F (40°C) occurred on June 23 and July 11, 1954. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Boulder was -24°F (-31°C), which occurred on February 5, 1989, and December 22, 1990. Boulder information source: Wikipedia.
