Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. Practices in Faskadale 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.

How Tooth Colour Is Measured
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 Faskadale 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.
Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Faskadale
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening is done at the practice in one 60–90 minute appointment. A high-concentration gel is applied and activated with a light or laser, giving immediate results — typically a 4–8 shade lift, depending on your starting point.
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 blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.
Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.

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.
Can I whiten my teeth if I'm under 18?
No — it's not legally performed on under-18s in the UK, since younger enamel is still maturing and more vulnerable to whitening agents. Eligibility starts at 18 with good dental health.
