Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. In Applemore it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Applemore: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
Response depends on the cause of the staining — surface and yellow discolouration whiten well, developmental and grey staining resist it, and any crowns or composite won't shift, so mismatches are worth discussing first.

Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Applemore
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening delivers the fastest visible result — one supervised session with professional-strength gel, most patients leaving 4–8 VITA shades lighter that day.
Take-home tray whitening gives you custom-fitted trays to wear at home for a couple of weeks; the slower build tends to be gentler on sensitivity while reaching the same end shade.
Combined whitening blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.
Over-the-counter kits sold in shops are limited by law to weak gel concentrations, so they're fine for touch-ups but no substitute for dentist-led whitening.
