Let's start talking about the dental whitening that we recommend to our patients, this dental whitening is the one that we perform in the dental office, in the dental chair with the supervision at all times of the dental professional. One of the advantages of this type of whitening is that as a first step the professional takes a sample of the color before starting the procedure and this allows him to show the patient that he can improve three to four tones in the same appointment and leave with his smile after the consultation. It is important to note that this procedure is controlled in case of any sensitivity to be able to act at the time.
Another type of teeth whitening that we offer at Tropicana Medical Center is the at-home teeth whitening, which is performed by means of caps. This whitening has the disadvantage that we as dentists lose total control over the procedure and the way the product is applied and stored. For example, this product must be kept refrigerated, it must be applied in a certain way to avoid sensitivity.
