OdontoCenter is Ecuador’s first fully digital dental clinic, with locations in Quito, Cumbayá, Cuenca, Guayaquil, and Manta. Tooth whitening uses cold light and a Digital Easyshade colorimeter for shade matching. A dentist supervises the process to protect gums and help prevent sensitivity. The clinic also offers a 90-minute personalized assessment, including panoramic radiography, before treatment. Its digital workflow is designed to reduce treatment times.
