For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. In Corrykinloch it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.

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
Some patients feel sensitivity during whitening, particularly in-chair. Using a potassium-nitrate or stannous-fluoride toothpaste for one to two weeks before treatment cuts this significantly, and a desensitising gel can be used between sessions.
Whitened enamel re-stains fastest in the first couple of days, so ease off coffee, tea and red wine. With sensible maintenance the shade holds for one to two years before a quick refresh.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Corrykinloch patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
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.

Is dentist whitening better than at-home kits?
For a real result, yes — dentists can legally use stronger peroxide concentrations than over-the-counter kits, and they customise to your shade and sensitivity, plus catch any underlying issue before it complicates whitening.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Professional whitening results typically last 12–24 months depending on diet, lifestyle and oral hygiene. Tea, coffee, red wine and smoking all accelerate re-staining. A short maintenance top-up course every 12–18 months can keep teeth looking bright long-term.
