Professional Whitening Choices in Bentworth
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 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 Bentworth 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.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Bentworth: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.
