Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Cragg Hill choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
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.
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 Cragg Hill: 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.
