“Dr. West is a friendly dentist with whom it is easy to converse. He is a good listener and answers questions knowledgebly. In my case there were several options. Dr. West took the time to thoroughly explore them and explained the pros and cons of each option.
From a dental and financial point of view, I knew what to expect and was comfortable with the procedure before he started.
I've had lots of experience with dentist and can tell if the Dr. is compentent and confident. Dr West's work on my teeth was smooth, quick and painless.
A good dentist can be hard to find. If you've ever been to a cut-rate dental shop, you know how they think time is money.
You'll appreciate the professionalsim of Dr. West and his staff.” —Lynn, Colorado

 Tooth whitening has really taken off in Lafayette. It has become a popular dental procedure and can provide excellent results if done properly.
There are a lot of options when it comes to tooth whitening. You can choose from a selection of over-the-counter options that you can get at your local pharmacy, or can go to a professional to get a complete tooth whitening solution.
It is a good idea to consult with your dentist before a tooth whitening, regardless of whether you choose to use an over-the-counter product. Your dentist will be able to help you understand the results you can expect, and can help recommend a product that will work for you.
There are many variables when it comes to tooth whitening. The color of your teeth at the beginning of your treatment will make a difference for your ending result. Different tooth whitening treatments will each produce a different result. Your Lafayette dentist has experience with tooth coloration and the types of treatments available.
In many cases, your Lafayette dentist will be able to provide you with a tooth whitening solution that you can take home with you. In some cases, your Lafayette dentist may recommend a professional treatment that is done at the dentist’s office.
Professional tooth whitening can produce dramatic results in a single treatment, and is often done over a few treatments.
Tooth whitening is less expensive than it was in the earlier days of tooth whitening technology. Today, tooth whitening treatments are very affordable, and don’t take the time they used to.
If you are interested in a tooth whitening consultation in the Lafayette area, please call Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry and make an appointment to see me. I will be happy to give you a check up, assess your tooth color, and recommend tooth whitening treatments that may be right for you.

 Are you one of the many Lafayette TMJ sufferers? If you are affected by Temporomandibular joint or TMJ disorder, you know how the pain and discomfort can impact your life. Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry TMJ treatment in the Boulder area has helped countless grateful Lafayette TMJ patients manage their TMJ disorder.
The Temporomandibular or jaw joint connects the lower jaw bone to the skull. Symptoms of TMJ disorder include jaw and facial pain, headaches, earaches, neck pain and chewing difficulty. TMJ disease is often associated with jaw clicking, locking or clenching, and can cause tooth damage and bone loss.
Many Longmont, Louisville and Broomfield TMJ patients first sought a possible TMJ diagnosis after trying unsuccessfully to relieve their frequent headaches. Since opening Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry in 1998, we have discovered that many people do not realize they have TMJ disorder because it can be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is causing the pain. A Colorado TMJ specialist can properly diagnose your specific TMJ issues and recommend an effective course of action.
Because a comprehensive treatment plan is most successful, we work hand-in-hand with a network of Boulder TMJ specialists including ENT doctors, neurologists and physical therapists. There are many facets to this often misunderstood disorder. If you are suffering from jaw pain, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Gordon West at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry in Lafayette.

 If you live near Lafayette and experience severe anxiety when undergoing (or even thinking about!) dental treatment, oral sedation is for you.
Conscious sedation dentistry is available in Lafayette at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry. We have been providing sedation dentistry in Lafayette for several years with excellent outcomes. Whether it is called relaxation dentistry, oral conscious sedation or anxiety-free dentistry, it is completely safe and very popular for our nervous cosmetic and restorative dental clients in the Longmont area.
Though it may sound impossible, with oral conscious sedation, Boulder dentistry patients can actually relax during dental visits. In addition, healing times for oral surgery and extensive cosmetic dentistry procedures are often shorter if the patient is sedated during treatment.
Sedation dentistry is great for alleviating anxiety for our Lafayette patients, and oral conscious sedation can be effective for treating or working with the following:
- Teeth sensitivita;
- Fear of needles;
- A powerful gag reflex;
- Difficulty controlling body movement;
- Lengthy multi-procedure visits;
- Difficulty becoming numb with traditional injections.
If you need dental work more extensive than a filling; such as a root canal, tooth implant, crown replacement or wisdom tooth extraction; call Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry at 720-862-3630. When you come to our office at 1140 West S. Boulder Rd, Suite 201 in Lafayette, we can give you more information about sedation dentistry.
Sedation dentistry is only one of the services we offer at Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry, where your smile is our top priority!
