This is followed by a home whitening treatment to stabilize and enhance the colour change.

It cannot make a complete colour change, but it may lighten the existing shade.

The process is entirely safe and the colour change long lasting.

agree Muriel Vasconcellos : I agree. In other cases, it would be 'color uptake'

Thanks, Muriel. I think uptake would also work.

Thanks, liz
neutral Chema Nieto Castañón : Toma de color inicial seems to refer to the initial measurement of tooth colour (initial shade taking) prior to some treatment in order to evaluate colour change, but the original expression does not seem to refer to that colour change itself. Saludos!

This is of course a possibility. Presumably Justin can guage this from the pictures.

shade-taking

All natural tooth shades are determined systematically and can be perfectly reproduced with the unique VITA SYSTEM 3D-MASTER
[…]
Tips for shade-taking:
• Shade-taking should be carried out before the preparation. Dehydration after the preparation makes the shade appear to be too white.
• Tooth shades should be determined in daylight or under standardized daylight lamps and not under operation lamps.
• Because eyes usually tire after 5-7seconds, it is recommended to make a selection quickly and to accept the first decision.
• Avoid bright colors in the shade-taking environment, i.e. no lipstick, tinted eyeglasses, no bright-colored clothes.

How to Take a Shade with the VITA 3D-Master® Shade Guide
When taking a shade, the dentist has three simple steps to follow: First, determine the value (lightness) by selecting the closest match from one of five value groups. Second, determine the Chroma within the value group from three choices. Third, pick the hue by determining if the tooth has a more yellow or red cast.

colour grading

An option ("tooth color gradation").
Example sentence:

While there's no universally recognised system for grading tooth colour, most dentists use a shade guide to determine the exact whiteness

... it all depends how you wish to grade those shades...
