Professional Teeth Whitening in Arkansas at Bryant family Dentistry!

Teeth whitening before and after

You wouldn't trust your oral health to anyone other than your dentist, and you dentist's office is also where you will find the most effective way to keep your teeth bright and white. If you are unhappy with how your smile looks, schedule an appointment with Dr. Nguyen today. He will put together a teeth whitening regimen that fits your needs. This could include at-home treatments, in-office treatments or a combination of both.

Options in Teeth Whitening

The primary methods for teeth whitening consist of the following: 
  • Whitening toothpaste
  • Home whitening strips
  • Home whitening kit with generic trays
  • Bleaching at the dentist with custom-made trays
  • Bleaching plus light booster at the dentist
Advantages of Professional Whitening Treatment

Opting into professional whitening treatment at your dentist offers you a number of advantages over the DIY pastes or strips. These include:

  • Your dental team makes sure that your sensitive tissues are protected throughout the whitening treatment.
  • Your dentist will complete any treatment you need, such as fillings and cleaning, before whitening, so your teeth will look more uniform when the whitening is finished.
  • The whitening agents available to your dentist are typically stronger and more effective than home treatments.
  • Most types of professional whitening treatments act more quickly than those you can do at home.
  • Your custom-made dental trays fit your teeth exactly, eliminating the risk of leakage and gum damage.

Your Whitening Appointment: What to Expect 

Depending on the color and condition of your teeth, we will determine the best approach to whitening. In rare cases, it may be decided that you are not a good candidate for this treatment due to the types of stains or discolorations you have. In such cases, we offer veneers to restore a healthy, white smile. 

For the vast majority of patients, however, the primary whitening questions are what type of treatment and how long will it take. We will take an impression of your teeth to create a custom-fit upper and lower tray. A snug fit is essential to ensuring full contact between the surface of your teeth and the whitening agent
. 
We apply whitening gel to the trays and put them into your mouth. You will wear them for a proscribed period of time, typically an hour. Some treatment protocols call for a specialized light that focuses on your mouth and improves the whitening effect, in which case you would wear protective glasses during the procedure.

Once you complete your whitening treatment, your teeth will be several times brighter than before, and in some cases, they may be a shade or two whiter than their natural hue. Keep in mind, though, that results vary from person to person, so the same whitening treatment may produce different results in different patients.
