Teeth Whitening in Little Rock

Stain, Stain Go Away!

Seems as though just about everyone is doing it these days! Getting that “Hollywood Smile” is a regular pastime and the number one requested cosmetic dentistry procedure. While many people buy the “drugstore brand” of whitener, our office whitening procedure produces better results, and in only a fraction of the time.

Patients with Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedure!

Want to know more? Call Dental Solutions of Little Rock and we’ll gladly provide you with the pros and cons of the different types of whitening procedures.

Is Whitening for Everyone?

When it comes to teeth whitening (bleaching), it’s always best to begin in our office. We can advise you on whether you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. Those people with yellowish teeth typically have better results than those with brownish or grayish hues. Also, whiteners have no effect on tooth-colored composite fillings or teeth that are bonded, so whitening will only make these teeth stand out from the ones that do whiten.

Are In-Office Procedures Better than At-Home Procedures?

The whitening procedure that we do at Dental Solutions of Little Rock generally takes about an hour and the results are immediate. After ensuring that the gums are protected, a bleaching agent is applied to the teeth and it does all the work!

Our office also dispenses take-home kits. These carbamide peroxide (the bleaching agent) gels are generally used for two weeks in order to obtain the desired results.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Some people experience tooth sensitivity after using bleaching agents. This is usually temporary and goes away after completion of the whitening process. Others notice irritation of their gums – especially when the bleaching tray is not custom made and the gums come in contact with the bleaching agent.

Side effects should always be brought to our attention so we can advise you on whether they are typical or not.

Can I Go Overboard on Bleaching?

Believe it or not, bleaching can become addictive for some people who never believe that their teeth are white enough! This is dangerous because too much exposure to carbamide peroxide may cause the tooth enamel to appear translucent and increase teeth and gum sensitivity and irritation.

And… you certainly don’t want your teeth to glow in the dark, do you? So be safe and know when to say when and that’s usually when the color of your teeth match the whites of your eyes!
