Patients across Corrychurrachan choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity.

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.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
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.
For 48 hours afterwards, avoid intensely pigmented foods and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauces — while the enamel is temporarily more porous. Results typically last 12–24 months before a short top-up restores the shade.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Corrychurrachan: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
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.

How soon after braces can I whiten my teeth?
It's usually best to wait a few weeks after braces are removed so the gums settle and any residual bonding is cleaned off. Whitening after orthodontics is very common — many patients treat it as the finishing touch — but your dentist will confirm the right timing for your case.
Can I whiten teeth with fillings or gum disease?
Active decay and untreated gum disease should be resolved before whitening, which is one reason a dental check comes first. Existing fillings won't change colour, so their appearance is reviewed as part of planning. A dentist will confirm your mouth is healthy enough to whiten safely.
