Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Croick choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
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 Croick 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.
Teeth Whitening in Croick — Local Context
Professional teeth whitening in Croick typically costs £300–£700 for in-chair treatment, and £200–£450 for a custom take-home tray kit from a dental practice. Appointment availability and the range of treatments on offer both vary practice to practice around Croick. See local practice availability in Croick →
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.
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.

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.
Does teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Sensitivity is the most common side effect and is usually temporary — resolving within 24–48 hours of treatment. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for two weeks before starting whitening reduces the risk significantly. Patients with pre-existing sensitivity should discuss this with their dentist before beginning treatment.
