For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. In Chelvey it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Chelvey use the VITA classical shade guide to record tooth colour, running from A1 (lightest) to C4 (darkest). Most natural teeth sit between A2 and B3, and professional whitening typically lifts 4–8 grades.
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.
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.
