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 Ambleston 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.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
A brief 'white diet' — skipping strongly coloured food and drink for two days — protects the fresh result. Long-term, good hygiene and an occasional top-up every 12–18 months keep teeth bright.

Patients with pre-existing sensitivity should discuss this with their dentist before beginning treatment.
