Teeth Whitening in Ossian, IN
Having a beautiful smile may be even easier than you think. Many people achieve the look they’ve been dreaming of with our simple “whitening” procedure.
What are the details of teeth whitening?
It’s safe, quick, and inexpensive. Just let us know at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can lighten only your upper teeth or both the upper and lower, depending on how much you show when you talk and smile.
In only a day or two, your custom bleach splints will be ready for you to pick up. We provide you with a special bleaching agent that you put into the clear splints. With only a few hours of wear per day, our special bleaching agent bubbles stains right out of your enamel in a very short time without altering tooth structure or existing dental work in any way.
When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile. We’ll want to take “after” photos at your next appointment.
Dental whitening can be used to correct tooth discoloration. Discolorations can be caused by staining, aging, or chemical damage to teeth. Using the latest in whitening technology, we can offer a safe method for creating a beautiful “brilliant” smile.
In cases of extreme tooth discoloration, crowns may be the only choice, but because of the low cost of whitening treatments, teeth whitening is nearly always worth a solid try.
Imagine Smiling Confidently With Brighter Teeth!
Don’t settle for yellow, stained, or dull teeth any longer! Call us with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
How is teeth whitening done?
Key Benefits of Teeth Whitening
- Corrects brown, yellow and spotted tooth staining
- Works on people of any age
- Is a near-permanent solution for a “dull” smile, restoring brightness and brings a smile alive
An impression is taken to make a specialized “mouthguard” or “stent” to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 3-4 hours for a week or two, and at the end of this time, significant whitening will occur. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant.
For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or dental veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations for Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available for purchase at drug stores and pharmacies. However, since these products can cause harm to the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.

I love this dental staff. I've been with them for 20 years and 3 dentists. They never disappoint. Dr Downy has also impressed me. Very nice, gives you the treatment options and didn't push for a root canal as first line treatment.

From the welcome at the front office, to the efficient yet gentle cleaning procedure, to the thorough exam by Dr. Downey, to the wrap-up and send-off back at the front, each person is friendly and caring in all of their interactions. I always walk out the door with a sparkling smile on my face.

Lauren is the best hygienist ever! She is gentle and thorough, personable and friendly. Dr Downy is not pushy about services. He makes recommendations, but totally leaves the decision up to the patient. The front office is always friendly and willing to help with any questions about making appointments and costs for procedures. I highly recommend this dentist office.

I started coming to this dentist office because I broke a tooth. They understood and got me right in to take care of the pain and I have been a customer ever since. They knew Dennis has taken over for the one that was originally there and he is every bit as friendly as the others. The staff didn't change and everyone goes out of their way to make you feel very comfortable.
