How Tooth Colour Is Measured
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 Bannvale 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.
Whitening Options Available in Bannvale
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening happens in a single visit: a strong hydrogen-peroxide gel is light-activated for immediate change, usually lifting the shade several grades in one sitting.
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 are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.
