The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Bearnus: 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.
Professional Whitening Choices in Bearnus
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 uses custom trays and professional-strength gel worn daily (30 minutes to overnight) over 2–4 weeks. It builds a gradual result with less sensitivity than in-chair treatment.
Combined whitening pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Bearnus for people who want quick results that last.
Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.

Is teeth whitening safe?
Professional whitening carried out or prescribed by a GDC-registered dental professional is well-evidenced and safe for most adults. The gels used are regulated, applied with gum protection, and matched to your sensitivity. The main risks — temporary sensitivity and minor gum irritation — are short-lived.
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.
