Professional whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals in the UK. Always verify that any clinic offering whitening treatment is registered with the General Dental Council before proceeding.
Professional Whitening Choices in Ardnacross Farm
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening is done at the practice in one 60–90 minute appointment. A high-concentration gel is applied and activated with a light or laser, giving immediate results — typically a 4–8 shade lift, depending on your starting point.
Take-home tray whitening involves bespoke trays and dentist-supplied gel worn over roughly a fortnight — excellent, controllable results at your own pace.
Combined whitening pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Ardnacross Farm for people who want quick results that last.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
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 Ardnacross Farm patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
Not all teeth respond equally. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis whitens poorly, yellow tones respond best, and grey tones least. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour at all, which can create mismatches to plan around.

Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
No, gel doesn't change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or fillings — which can actually create a mismatch against newly-whitened natural teeth if the restoration is on a visible front tooth. Worth flagging to your dentist beforehand.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
It's the most common side effect, but usually settles within 24-48 hours. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks beforehand cuts the risk noticeably — flag any existing sensitivity to your dentist first.
