Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Clyst Hydon tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
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.

Professional Whitening Choices in Clyst Hydon
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening delivers the fastest visible result — one supervised session with professional-strength gel, most patients leaving 4–8 VITA shades lighter that day.
Take-home tray whitening uses custom trays and professional-strength gel worn daily (30 minutes to overnight) over 2–4 weeks. It builds a gradual result with less sensitivity than in-chair treatment.
Combined whitening pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Clyst Hydon for people who want quick results that last.
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.
