Brighten Your Smile With Whitening
Ready to get the sparkling smile you’ve always dreamed of? If your teeth are on the yellow-ish side or you are simply not happy with their color, we’re here to help.
At Dental Solutions of Little Rock, we’re happy to offer a variety of whitening options for your needs, including in-office whitening as well as Opalescence GO professional take-home kits.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening is ideal for adults who want to achieve a whiter smile in a safe environment. Our team members are specifically trained to perform in-office whitening services, which includes the application of a bleaching agent to your teeth. We utilize the Zoom in-office whitening system. We always ensure your gums are protected so they won’t be damaged.
We place a whitening agent gel on your teeth in conjunction with a special UV light. It takes a couple of hours to complete.
Some patients may experience tooth sensitivity immediately following the treatment, though it should subside in just a few hours. We recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever to help.
To help ensure your smile stays white and bright, we also offer take-home bleaching kits using the Opalescence GO system. Kits include a professional strength whitening gel that's stronger than what you can get over the counter, that you can apply in the comfort of your own home. These kits are wonderful to maintain your in-office results! Our team will discuss exactly how you should use them at home so there are no surprises.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
We strive to keep our treatments as affordable as possible for patients. Because each person is unique, it’s difficult to estimate a cost without seeing you first. We’d be happy to provide you with an estimate in our practice so you can know exactly what to expect before undergoing teeth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of teeth whitening do you offer in Little Rock?
We provide in-office professional Zoom whitening for fast results and Opalescence GO take-home kits so you can maintain your bright smile from home.
How does professional teeth whitening work?
In-office whitening uses a dental bleaching agent applied by trained professionals to gently lift stains from the tooth surface, with gums carefully protected throughout the process.
How long does a teeth whitening treatment take?
Most in-office sessions are completed in a single visit, and you’ll often see noticeable results in about an hour.
The at-home GO system utilizes trays that are worn for 20 minutes for consecutive days. We recommend anywhere from 5 - 14 days of use. These trays are stronger than what you can buy online and over the counter.
Are teeth whitening results permanent?
No whitening treatment is permanent, but professional results typically last longer than store-bought options — and maintenance with take-home kits helps extend your brighter smile.
Results can be dependent on consumption of foods and drinks that can stain your teeth.
Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may experience mild sensitivity after treatment, but this usually goes away within a few hours. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed.
Take-home GO trays rarely cause sensitivity and may be a better option for some patients.
Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Yes — when performed under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe and does not permanently damage the teeth.
