Current technique allows for personalized whitening, respecting each patient's individual characteristics and ensuring natural results that harmonize with skin tone and age.

Assessment and Planning

The decision to undergo teeth whitening should be based on a careful evaluation of oral conditions and patient expectations. The procedure is especially indicated for teeth stained by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, or simply darkened over time. During the initial consultation, possible contraindications are evaluated and the most appropriate protocol is defined for each case.
