How Safe are Professional Teeth Whitening Treatments?

Maintaining healthy white teeth can be challenging, especially as you grow older. As years go by, your teeth may start to appear dull and dingy due to stains and discolorations caused by dietary or lifestyle habits. Fortunately, there are professional teeth whitening options to remove stains from teeth and restore your smile’s gleam. At Titus Dentistry, we offer safe, effective teeth whitening treatments to Middletown, Muncie, Pendleton, and Anderson, Indiana, residents.

Professional Teeth Whitening Methods

At Titus Dentistry, Dr. Jonathan Titus offers two ways to brighten your smile safely. In-office teeth whitening gives you a sparkling white smile in as little as one hour. Before whitening your smile, Dr. Titus will clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Starting with clean teeth will enable you to get optimal results from your treatment.

In-office teeth bleaching entails using professional-grade whitening gel to remove intrinsic and extrinsic stains and discolorations. This gel is applied to your teeth at 20-minute intervals, with sessions being repeated two or three times during the course of your one-hour treatment. Upon completion of your procedure, your smile will be radiant once again. You can flash your pearly whites confidently, knowing they’re the best they can be. 

If you’ve got the time, at-home teeth whitening may be more to your liking. Whitening your teeth at home comes with its share of advantages, which include:

• Setting the convenient time and place (living room, bedroom, family room) for your treatment
• Brightening your smile gradually for a natural-looking appearance
• The use of custom-fitted trays and professional whitening agents to optimize your treatment
• Dental supervision for safety and effectiveness

You can even combine in-office bleaching with at-home whitening services to touch up your smile so that it retains its attractive appearance longer.

Under dental supervision, professional teeth whitening methods and products are safe for both office and home use.
