For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. Practices in Coven Heath tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.

The VITA Shade Guide Explained
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 Coven Heath patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
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.
