For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. Patients across Druidston choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Druidston 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.
Response depends on the cause of the staining — surface and yellow discolouration whiten well, developmental and grey staining resist it, and any crowns or composite won't shift, so mismatches are worth discussing first.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.

Is dentist whitening better than at-home kits?
For a real result, yes — dentists can legally use stronger peroxide concentrations than over-the-counter kits, and they customise to your shade and sensitivity, plus catch any underlying issue before it complicates whitening.
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.
