Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Broubster tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Transient sensitivity is normal and short-lived. Pre-treating with a sensitivity toothpaste, and avoiding very hot or cold drinks for a day or two afterwards, keeps it manageable for most people.
For 48 hours afterwards, avoid intensely pigmented foods and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauces — while the enamel is temporarily more porous. Results typically last 12–24 months before a short top-up restores the shade.

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.
Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Broubster
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 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 Broubster for people who want quick results that last.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.

Can I whiten my teeth if I'm under 18?
No — it's not legally performed on under-18s in the UK, since younger enamel is still maturing and more vulnerable to whitening agents. Eligibility starts at 18 with good dental health.
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.
