The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Caolasnacon: 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.
Whitening Options Available in Caolasnacon
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening happens in a single visit: a strong hydrogen-peroxide gel is light-activated for immediate change, usually lifting the shade several grades in one sitting.
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 blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.
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.
