Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Curteis' Corner tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Results can appear in a single in-chair session or build gradually over two to three weeks at home.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Curteis' Corner: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
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.
Professional Whitening Choices in Curteis' Corner
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening delivers the fastest visible result — one supervised session with professional-strength gel, most patients leaving 4–8 VITA shades lighter that day.
Take-home tray whitening uses custom trays and professional-strength gel worn daily (30 minutes to overnight) over 2–4 weeks. It builds a gradual result with less sensitivity than in-chair treatment.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Curteis' Corner because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.
