Choose a dental clinic you can trust and with the latest technology
In our
dental clinic in Barcelona
we perform teeth whitening with a latest generation LED lamp corresponding to the leading brand in the market. With this machine, we can whiten teeth up to 8 shades in just one session. As the machine is more developed, the patient hardly suffers any sensitivity and there is no dental dehydration. It also has an absolute soft tissue isolation system.
Undoubtedly, a smile is an essential part of our business card. Therefore, it is essential to take care of it and to choose a reliable dental clinic for any treatment.
Avoid home or drugstore teeth whitenings
Toothpastes or mouthwashes that are advertised as whitening have little effect on the color of teeth, since the time that the active ingredients they contain remain in contact with tooth enamel is insufficient.
Likewise, the products sold in pharmacies to whiten teeth do not usually have very noticeable effects either, since the whitening product is in too low a concentration.
Our recommendation is that this type of treatment be supervised by a specialist to achieve optimal results.
Opt for a natural smile
Naturalness is the key to an attractive smile.
Many of our patients who want to undergo this cosmetic dental treatment are looking for a radical change. We always advise you to go for a natural shade, avoiding pure white. In any case, thanks to our personalized attention, we are able to adapt the treatment to the preferences of each patient.
The results also depend on the natural color of each patient’s teeth, as well as the difficulty in removing stains. Thanks to our advanced dental hygiene system, we are able to remove all stains in most cases. Once we have finished the hygienic phase, we start with our teeth whitening method.
Watch your diet
To maintain the results obtained with teeth whitening over time, it is important to take care of the diet.
This involves avoiding certain foods such as red wine, black tea or coffee. It is also advisable to limit the consumption of foods with a strong coloring such as red fruits or those with a high citric acid content such as lemon or grapefruit.
Avoid tobacco
Our recommendation is to quit smoking for health reasons.
In addition, tobacco is one of the biggest enemies when it comes to tooth color. Therefore, it is advisable to eliminate this habit. This increases the effectiveness of the treatment and prevents yellowing of the teeth.
