Teeth whitening
From $150.00
Teeth whitening is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment aimed at lightening the color of the teeth and removing stains or superficial pigmentation caused by the consumption of foods, beverages such as coffee, tea, or red wine, tobacco, or simply by the passage of time. It is a safe and effective procedure when performed under professional supervision.
There are different whitening techniques, with the most common being in-office whitening —with the application of high-concentration whitening gels activated by light— and the outpatient treatment, which the patient performs at home with customized trays and a lower concentration gel. In some cases, a combination of both is recommended to achieve better results.
Whitening does not damage the enamel or weaken the teeth if applied correctly and in suitable patients. It is important to conduct a prior evaluation to determine if the patient is a candidate for the treatment and to establish realistic expectations based on the natural tone of their teeth.
Results can last several months or even years, depending on the patient's oral hygiene and dietary habits, so periodic maintenance sessions are recommended.
