David R. Blackhurst DDS offers professional teeth whitening in American Fork, Utah — delivering results that are faster, safer, and dramatically more effective than anything you can buy over the counter.
Dr. Blackhurst offers two professional whitening options — one for fast, in-office results, and one for the convenience of whitening at home on your own schedule.
Get dramatically whiter teeth in a single appointment. Professional-strength whitening gel is applied and activated in our office, with results you'll notice the same day — up to 8 shades lighter in about an hour.
Custom-fitted whitening trays made from impressions of your teeth, paired with professional-strength whitening gel you use at home. Results build gradually over 1–2 weeks — and the trays can be reused for touch-ups anytime.
Not sure which option is right for you? Dr. Blackhurst will evaluate your teeth and recommend the best approach based on your timeline, budget, and sensitivity history. Call 801-756-7211 to get started.
Store-bought whitening strips and trays can't match the safety, comfort, or effectiveness of professional treatment supervised by a dentist.
Professional whitening uses prescription-strength peroxide concentrations that OTC products can't legally match — delivering 4–8 shades of improvement vs. 1–2 from strips.
Dr. Blackhurst screens for enamel erosion, gum recession, and existing restorations before whitening — preventing the sensitivity and enamel damage that can occur with unsupervised OTC use.
One-size strips leave uneven whitening. Custom trays precisely fit your teeth for consistent gel contact on every surface — no streaky or patchy results.
Most patients achieve 4–8 shades of whitening with professional treatment. Results vary based on the type and depth of staining. Dr. Blackhurst will give you a realistic expectation based on your current shade at your consultation.
Yes. Professional whitening performed or supervised by a dentist is very safe. Dr. Blackhurst evaluates your gum health and enamel before treatment to ensure you're a good candidate. Over-the-counter products carry more risk of enamel irritation because they lack this professional oversight.
With good habits, professional whitening results typically last 1–3 years. Limiting staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, wine, berries), not smoking, and using a whitening toothpaste helps maintain results. Touch-up treatments with your custom trays are quick and affordable.
No — whitening agents only affect natural tooth enamel, not porcelain, ceramic, or composite restorations. If you have crowns or veneers in visible areas, Dr. Blackhurst will discuss this during your consultation so you can plan accordingly and achieve a consistent result.
