Bleaching or Whitening

Cabo San Lucas Dental Clinic offers you the free sensitivity whitening at a moderate cost. For years one of the problems when getting your teeth whitened has been sensitivity, a kind of pain during and after the bleaching gel treatment. Dr Jorge Arciga teeth bleaching choice is a new free sensitivity whitening that clears your theet from one to three degrees.

Dr Jorge Arciga has developed skills after his vast experience in teeth whitening. He does not limit his choices to one only whitening brand, also called bleaching system. There are many “In Office” systems, which whitening properties are more or less the same.

For the last 2 years Dr. Arciga has been using a “non sensitivity” brand for those patients that opt for the one session “In Office” whitening, Dr Arciga considers that only about 5% of individuals develop dental sensitivity after using any In Office or At Home brand of whitening gel. However it is frustrating to experience teeth sensitivity that really disencourages patients to carry on with the treatment.

Dr Arciga prefers the non sensitivity brand and has tested it in patients who originally couldn´t tolerate the early versions that could get teeth sensitive, with a satisfactory result because these patients could follow the “in Office” indicated time completely without any discomfort or pain.

Dr Arciga knew and used renowned brands like Zoom and X Boost among his favorites but he uses other brands considering the individual needs for each patient.

What are the possible side effects the whitening provokes in the dental enamel or other structure of the tooth?

The extended experience in our clinic has demonstrated that whitening gels are safe for enamel; they do not corrode or affect the enamel or other dental structures like dentine or cement. Dental whitening is not indicated in small children or pregnant women, in which cases side effects are unknown.
 

I tried to whiten my teeth using an At Home treatment, my teeth got really sensitive that I could not stand my teeth for 1 or 2 days.

Can I go for our In Office Whitening?

We could run a short test to identify your tolerance to whitening agents. Typically, Dr Arciga will administrate a desensitizer gel before and after the test or the In Office whitening session. The free sensitivity brand Dr Arciga usually currently uses, has not given a single case of sensitivity after the one hour session. For a more personalized answer contact us.
 

In our experience 95% of patients tolerate the whitening with no sensitivity at all or a located discomfort to one or two teeth only.
 

I have one discolored tooth, it looks more yellow, almost brown, would this tooth get as white as the others after I get my teeth bleached?
Some teeth get yellow or brownish or grayish after an impact or a root canal treatment. In this cases, the tooth should go for a root canal treatment (if not yet) and its crown individually whitened from inside the crown until the real shade is gotten.
 

Tetracycline and fluoride stains can be corrected with an In Office or At Home whitening sessions plan.
