Why Choose Us?
We combine cutting-edge technology with Colombian artistry
Up to 10 Shades in 60 Minutes
Our professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel, activated by LED light, penetrates enamel to break down deep stains. Results are visible immediately — up to 10 shades on the VITA shade guide in a single session.
Enamel-Safe Professional Formula
Unlike at-home strips, our professional formula includes desensitizing agents (potassium nitrate, fluoride) applied pre- and post-treatment. Safe for enamel. No damaging the tooth structure.
In-Office + Take-Home Kit Included
Your whitening appointment, from $299, includes both the in-office session AND custom-fitted take-home whitening trays with professional-strength gel for maintenance and touch-ups.
Custom Shade Matching
We photograph your teeth at baseline and match your shade on the VITA scale. After whitening, you can see the exact number of shades achieved. Target shade is agreed before we begin.
60-Minute In-Office Session
Three 20-minute whitening cycles with LED activation. Comfortable, reclined in the chair. We protect your gums with a barrier gel — only your teeth receive the whitening agent.
Supervised by a Cosmetic Dentist
Unlike mall kiosks or at-home kits, every whitening session is supervised by a cosmetic dentist. We assess your candidacy, check for sensitivities, and adjust the protocol for your specific teeth.

The Process
- 1
Shade Assessment & Pre-Whitening Consultation
We photograph your teeth and record your starting shade on the VITA scale. We check for cavities, gum recession, and existing restorations (crowns/veneers do not whiten and should be noted). We discuss your target shade and confirm candidacy.
- 2
Gum Protection & Isolation
We apply a resin barrier to protect your gums and soft tissues from the whitening gel. Cheek retractors are placed for comfortable access. You wear protective eyewear. The entire setup takes 5–7 minutes.
- 3
Three 20-Minute LED-Activated Whitening Cycles
Professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to your teeth and activated with an LED curing light. Three cycles of 20 minutes each with fresh gel between cycles. You can listen to music or podcasts throughout.
- 4
Desensitizing Treatment & Shade Reveal
After removing the gel, we apply a fluoride desensitizing agent to remineralize enamel and minimize sensitivity. We photograph your teeth again and show you the shade comparison — before vs after.

Philips Zoom
One visit, several shades brighter
In-office Philips Zoom whitening uses light-activated peroxide gel under Dr. Ortiz's supervision. We protect your gums, tailor the concentration to your sensitivity, and achieve in a single visit what over-the-counter strips take weeks to approach.
- One in-office visit (~60–90 min)
- Gums protected, concentration tailored to you
- Custom take-home trays to maintain your result
In-Office vs. At-Home vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
Not all whitening is equal — the difference comes down to peroxide concentration and professional supervision.
| Option | Speed | Result | Supervision |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-office (Philips Zoom) | 1 visit | Up to 8 shades | Dentist |
| Custom at-home trays | 1–2 weeks | Gradual | Guided |
| Strips / OTC | Weeks | Limited | None |
Is Professional Whitening Safe?
Yes. The American Dental Association (ADA) recognizes peroxide-based whitening as safe and effective when supervised by a dentist. Temporary sensitivity is the most common side effect and usually fades within a few days — which is why we protect your gums and tailor the peroxide concentration to your case. (Individual results may vary.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Our professional in-office whitening starts at $299 in Miami (Bird Road/Westchester). This includes the in-office session (3 cycles, LED-activated) AND custom take-home whitening trays with professional gel. No hidden add-ons. We also offer professional whitening at our Medellín, Colombia clinic — message us on WhatsApp for details.
Most patients achieve 6–10 shades whiter in a single session, measured on the VITA shade guide. The exact result depends on your baseline shade and the nature of your staining. Intrinsic stains (from tetracycline antibiotics, for example) respond less dramatically than extrinsic stains from coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco.
Yes, when performed by a dental professional. We use desensitizing agents before and after treatment, protect your gums with a barrier, and use concentrations that are effective but within safe limits. At-home bleaching kits from pharmacies are generally safe but far less effective — they contain 3–10% peroxide vs our professional 25–40% formulas.
Most patients experience zero discomfort during the procedure. Some patients notice mild sensitivity for 24–48 hours afterward, particularly to hot and cold. This is completely normal and resolves on its own. We apply a fluoride desensitizing treatment after every session to minimize sensitivity.
With good oral hygiene and limiting staining foods and drinks (coffee, red wine, tobacco), professional whitening results last 12–24 months. Your custom take-home trays allow for easy touch-up sessions — one 30-minute home session per month significantly extends your results.
Porcelain veneers, ceramic crowns, and bonding do not respond to whitening — only natural enamel whitens. If you have restorations in your smile zone, we'll discuss the implications during your consultation. In some cases, patients whiten first and then replace older restorations to match the new shade.
In-office professional whitening uses 25–40% hydrogen peroxide activated by LED — achieving 6–10 shades in 60 minutes under dental supervision. Pharmacy strips typically contain 6–10% peroxide and achieve 2–4 shades over 2–4 weeks. Professional whitening is faster, more predictable, and includes gum protection not possible with strips.
