Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Practices in Castleloan 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.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
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 Castleloan 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.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
Whitened enamel re-stains fastest in the first couple of days, so ease off coffee, tea and red wine. With sensible maintenance the shade holds for one to two years before a quick refresh.
