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.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
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.
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
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 Crossmoor 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.
