Jonesborough, Jefferson City, and Greeneville, TN
Finding a way to hide your smile because of dull, dingy teeth may have you scouring the supermarket aisle in search of the latest whitening toothpaste. Although the latest smile-brightening formula may provide results, it can be heartbreaking when you still see a lackluster grin in the mirror. Now for the good news: there are more effective teeth whitening treatments available that won’t break your budget. Today, our cosmetic dentists in Greeneville explore professional teeth whitening solutions that truly make a difference.
Is it possible to truly whiten your teeth with toothpaste?
A common myth about teeth whitening toothpaste is that it’s all you need to brighten your teeth. This misconception is fueled by advertising and marketing campaigns. Unfortunately, most whitening toothpastes do not contain a bleaching agent strong enough to make a significant difference in the shade of your teeth. This means any results are going to be short-lasting, requiring repeated application. However, maintaining good oral health by brushing and flossing daily can help reduce the buildup that causes stains. But, if you’re searching for profound results that will make your teeth bright white, opt for professional teeth whitening instead of store-bought products.
What do the experts recommend to brighten my smile?
For the brightest teeth possible, we recommend professional teeth whitening. At Tusculum Dental Care, we offer dental whitening procedures to provide a longer-lasting change to your smile and more effective removal of the surface stains that cause discoloration. These procedures all work with a powerful, professional-grade bleaching agent. Moreover, a professional teeth whitening is less likely to cause heightened sensitivity in the teeth and gums, because it is administered under the care of one of our expertly trained cosmetic dentists.
Tusculum Dental Care offers three different ways you can receive this high-quality whitening treatment:
- In office – Visit our office in Greeneville to have the whitening gel administered by our staff. The entire process can be completed in about an hour.
- In-home – The same professional-grade whitening treatment is administered by you at your convenience in the comfort of your home. We place the solution in a tray that is customized to fit your mouth, then provide you with instructions on how to use the tray, including how many times and how long each application should be.
- Pre-filled trays – Take the guesswork out of in-home treatment by receiving your whitening solution in pre-filled trays. Each time you need to apply the solution, just open the tray, then dispose of it and use a new one the next time.

Flashing a brighter smile can boost your self-esteem and confidence, especially in social situations. Even though daily oral care routines can reduce surface stains, they can’t remove most discolorations. Furthermore, regular visits to your dentist for checkups and cleanings are undoubtedly important in preventing the buildup of future stains.
So, when your smile loses its luster, it’s time to schedule a consultation with the cosmetic dentists at Tusculum Dental Care. We invite you to call us at (423) 639-7575 or contact us online to schedule your consultation and take one step closer to a radiant smile that lights up the room.
