For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. In Faillie it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Faillie 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.
Not all teeth respond equally. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis whitens poorly, yellow tones respond best, and grey tones least. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour at all, which can create mismatches to plan around.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
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.
Teeth Whitening in Faillie — Local Context
Professional teeth whitening in Faillie typically costs £300–£700 for in-chair treatment, and £200–£450 for a custom take-home tray kit from a dental practice. Not every practice near Faillie offers the same treatments, so it's worth checking what each one covers. See local practice availability in Faillie →
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.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for professional whitening. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients under 18, or for those with severe gum disease or untreated decay. Intrinsic staining (from antibiotics or fluorosis) responds poorly and should be discussed with a dentist.
How white can my teeth get?
It depends on your starting shade — most people see a 4-8 VITA-grade lift, but there's a genetic ceiling you can't whiten past. Yellow-toned staining lifts well; grey or intrinsic staining responds poorly.
