Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. In Craigmalloch it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
Transient sensitivity is normal and short-lived. Pre-treating with a sensitivity toothpaste, and avoiding very hot or cold drinks for a day or two afterwards, keeps it manageable for most people.
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.
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 Craigmalloch 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.

Why is it illegal for beauty salons to whiten teeth?
In the UK, tooth whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals because it involves clinical assessment and regulated peroxide concentrations. Beauty salons or non-dentists offering whitening are acting illegally, and treatment without a proper dental check carries real risks to teeth and gums.
Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for professional whitening. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients under 18, or for those with severe gum disease or untreated decay. Intrinsic staining (from antibiotics or fluorosis) responds poorly and should be discussed with a dentist.
