Custom Take-Home Teeth Whitening Trays

Whitening our teeth lets us show off our smiles and shine! Even with good brushing and flossing, it can be difficult to keep white teeth. Here at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, we offer custom take-home whitening trays.


While many store-bought whitening kits promise results, they often leave us feeling less than impressed. These custom take-home whitening trays are only available through a dentist, so you know they will offer the best results. We take a mold of your teeth and create the custom tray to look just like an Invisalign tray. We then give you our powerful whitening gel to take home. The trays should be worn every day for a short period of time over a few days’ time.


The custom trays make sure that the whitening gel reaches every corner of your unique smile. Over the course of your whitening treatment, the custom trays are able to whiten your smile by four to eight shades. Results will depend on each patient and their level of staining.


Our custom take-home whitening trays are convenient and powerful. To schedule a consultation with Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call us at (720) 459-8420 or visit Teeth Whitening, CO

Infant Tooth Care

Here at Ardas Family Dental – A Kids and Family Dental Office, we encourage new parents to implement good oral hygiene habits at a young age due to the fact that baby teeth act as placeholders for adult teeth. Since baby teeth usually emerge around six months of age, brushing, and flossing isn’t required for your infant. However, to prevent serious oral health conditions such as baby bottle tooth decay - a disease that causes severe, swift decay of baby teeth, you should start caring for baby’s gums right away.


Before your child’s first tooth arises, wipe the gums off after each feeding with a warm, wet washcloth or a dampened piece of gauze wrapped around your finger. This will help keep them free of decay and allow for proper spacing when the teeth begin to emerge. You should continue to do this until your child is old enough to hold a toothbrush themselves. At Ardas Family Dental, we recommend scheduling a dental exam before your child’s first birthday to assure that the teeth and gums are in proper health.


If you have questions about infant tooth care, please give us a call. If you are searching for a pediatric dentist in the Parker, CO area please give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Pediatric Dentist Parker, CO for more information or call 720-459-8420.

Medicaid Dentist - Parker, CO

These days, the lack of dental coverage has become a serious challenge that American healthcare faces today. To put in perspective, dental insurance coverage is much less common than medical insurance in the United States. To combat this issue, Medicaid is the primary agency for dental coverage among adults with low incomes. This is why our staff at Ardas Family Dental accepts this type of insurance at our practice.   


Medicaid provides dental coverage to certain categories of people with lower incomes and is a voluntary partnership program between the federal government and individual states. Categories include all children and adults under 65 years of age.  Medicaid covers routine dental care, and most dental procedures such as cleanings, fillings, tooth extractions or dentures.


If you have questions about Medicaid or other insurance options accepted at our office, please give us a call. To learn about services we provide at the practice, visit Medicaid Dentist Parker, CO for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call 720-459-8420.

Tooth Decay Prevention

If you don’t practice proper oral hygiene on a daily basis, you may suffer the consequences sooner rather than later.  Tooth decay is one of the most common of all diseases, second only to the common cold. Preventive strategies don’t just rely on brushing and flossing, they count on your dietary habits (such as sugar intake) as well. At Ardas Family Dental, our doctors can develop and guide you through an individualized treatment plan to prevent the decay process.  


Tooth decay is defined as the destruction of tooth structure and it can affect both the enamel (the outer coating of the tooth) and the dentin layer of the tooth. The dentin surrounds the pulp and when the pulp becomes damaged, sensitivity will commence. The tooth decay process begins when bacteria in our mouths combine with food debris and saliva to form plaque, which clings to the teeth. To prevent plaque from lingering, it’s important to brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, and clean between your teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Additionally, you should eat nutritious and balanced meals, while limiting snacks, and visit our staff at Ardas Family Dental every six months for a routine checkup.


If you have questions regarding your oral hygiene routine, give us a call. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit General Dentist Parker, CO for more information. To schedule an appointment with one of our doctors at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO, call 720- 459-8420.
