How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Ardery: 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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for professional whitening. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients under 18, or for those with severe gum disease or untreated decay. Intrinsic staining (from antibiotics or fluorosis) responds poorly and should be discussed with a dentist.
How do I maintain my whitening results?
Reduce consumption of staining foods and drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries), maintain good brushing and flossing habits, and schedule a dental hygienist appointment every 6 months. A take-home maintenance kit from your dentist for occasional top-ups will extend results significantly.
