Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Practices in Byrecleugh tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
Whitening Options Available in Byrecleugh
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 Byrecleugh 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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
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.

Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
It's the most common side effect, but usually settles within 24-48 hours. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks beforehand cuts the risk noticeably — flag any existing sensitivity to your dentist first.
How white can my teeth get?
Results depend on your natural starting shade. Most patients can achieve a lift of 4–8 VITA shade grades with professional whitening. Teeth cannot be whitened beyond their natural genetic shade maximum. Yellow-toned staining responds best; grey-toned or intrinsic staining responds poorly or not at all.
