Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Avielochan choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Some patients feel sensitivity during whitening, particularly in-chair. Using a potassium-nitrate or stannous-fluoride toothpaste for one to two weeks before treatment cuts this significantly, and a desensitising gel can be used between sessions.
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.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Avielochan: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
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.

Can I whiten my teeth if I'm pregnant?
Professional teeth whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The effects of whitening agents on developing foetuses have not been adequately studied. It is best to postpone whitening until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.
Why is it illegal for beauty salons to whiten teeth?
In the UK, tooth whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals because it involves clinical assessment and regulated peroxide concentrations. Beauty salons or non-dentists offering whitening are acting illegally, and treatment without a proper dental check carries real risks to teeth and gums.
