Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Clunas choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Whitening Options Available in Clunas
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.

The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Clunas 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.
Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.
