Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Coed-y-bryn: 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.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
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.
