Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Abereiddy choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Transient sensitivity is normal and short-lived. Pre-treating with a sensitivity toothpaste, and avoiding very hot or cold drinks for a day or two afterwards, keeps it manageable for most people.
Whitened enamel re-stains fastest in the first couple of days, so ease off coffee, tea and red wine. With sensible maintenance the shade holds for one to two years before a quick refresh.

How Tooth Colour Is Measured
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Abereiddy patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Using a sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks before starting whitening reduces the risk significantly. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity should discuss this with their dentist before beginning treatment.
How white can my teeth get?
It depends on your starting shade — most people see a 4-8 VITA-grade lift, but there's a genetic ceiling you can't whiten past. Yellow-toned staining lifts well; grey or intrinsic staining responds poorly.
