Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Derwent choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Dental professionals in Derwent use the VITA classical shade guide to record tooth colour, running from A1 (lightest) to C4 (darkest). Most natural teeth sit between A2 and B3, and professional whitening typically lifts 4–8 grades.
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.

Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Derwent
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 gives you custom-fitted trays to wear at home for a couple of weeks; the slower build tends to be gentler on sensitivity while reaching the same end shade.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Derwent because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.
