8 out of 10 Mexicans would like to have their teeth whitened.
Teeth whitening should always be performed by specialists so as not to affect the teeth.
Teeth whitening is becoming increasingly popular in dental offices and clinics. For the specialists at La Clínica Dental it is very important for patients to know about the procedure and treatment.
Teeth whitening is an important decision, since by changing the shade of the teeth they become more striking when speaking and smiling, generating greater confidence in the patient.
It is important that, as is done at The Dental Clinic, the specialist informs the patient about the procedure, so that the patient can make the best decision, knowing the whole procedure, the options that exist to have teeth whitening and the implications and care needed to maintain it.
What is teeth whitening and how is it performed?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment that can lighten the enamel of the teeth one or more shades, depending on the characteristics of each patient, generating a more attractive smile.
There are two whitening options, the one that is performed in a single session at The Dental Clinic’s facilities and the one that can be performed in several sessions at home, with the material provided by The Dental Clinic and following the instructions of the specialists to the letter.
At The Dental Clinic
This treatment is faster and usually more effective than home whitening. The specialist prepares the teeth and applies the whitening, lightening the teeth in a single session, although the results may take up to a week to be fully noticeable. During this time it is necessary to follow the specialist’s instructions in order to obtain optimal results.
At home
Home whitening first requires a visit to The Dental Clinic so that the specialist can check the current state of the mouth and explain to the patient how to perform the procedure on his or her own. This method uses dental guards custom-made at The Dental Clinic and a whitening gel.
The specialist explains how to apply it and for how long to use the guards and how long the treatment will last, which on average is 15 days. It is necessary to follow the instructions of dental care during this period, and to have good habits of discipline to comply with the schedules in which the treatment should be applied.
Possible reactions to bleaching
Both forms can have certain reactions that specialists consider very important for patients to be aware of and know about:
Sensitivity: although the best and highest quality materials are used at La Clínica Dental, it is likely that the patient will present sensitivity after teeth whitening.
From experience, specialists share that the treatment performed in a clinic may cause more sensitivity than the one performed at home. It is important to mention that this sensitivity is temporary. And that after a few days it will pass.
Toothache: the materials used are chemical, which although they do not damage the teeth when placed properly by a specialist, they may generate some temporary pain due to the treatment.
The purpose of these chemicals is to remove stains that have accumulated over several years, which may cause pain or a different sensation than what the patient is used to.
Burning gums: during the procedure in the clinic a gel is placed to protect the gums. However, the light to which the patient is subjected by the procedure may cause pain in the gums.
The treatment applied at home does not have this protection on the gums, so the whitening gel can touch them and cause discomfort. However, here the concentration of the material is distributed over a period of time so it is less aggressive than in the office.
At La Clínica Dental Boutique they care about the health and well-being of patients, complying with the regulations established by Cofepris. In this way they ensure quality service with the best materials and state-of-the-art technology.
