Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Bodermid choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
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 Bodermid 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.

Professional whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals in the UK. Always verify that any clinic offering whitening treatment is registered with the General Dental Council before proceeding.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
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.

Is dentist whitening better than at-home kits?
Yes, for significant results. Dental professionals can use higher peroxide concentrations than products legally sold over the counter. They also customise treatment to your tooth shade and sensitivity level, and can address any underlying dental issues before whitening that might otherwise cause problems.
Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
No — whitening gel does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or composite fillings. If your restorations are placed on visible front teeth, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may create a colour mismatch. Discuss this with your dentist before treatment so a plan can be made.
