Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale

The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Aukside: 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.

Whitening Options Available in Aukside

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 pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Aukside for people who want quick results that last.

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.
