Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Practices in Gaick Lodge tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Some patients feel sensitivity during whitening, particularly in-chair. Using a potassium-nitrate or stannous-fluoride toothpaste for one to two weeks before treatment cuts this significantly, and a desensitising gel can be used between sessions.
Whitened enamel re-stains fastest in the first couple of days, so ease off coffee, tea and red wine. With sensible maintenance the shade holds for one to two years before a quick refresh.
Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Gaick Lodge
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 (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Gaick Lodge 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.
Teeth Whitening in Gaick Lodge — Local Context

How white can my teeth get?
Results depend on your natural starting shade. Most patients can achieve a lift of 4–8 VITA shade grades with professional whitening. Teeth cannot be whitened beyond their natural genetic shade maximum. Yellow-toned staining responds best; grey-toned or intrinsic staining responds poorly or not at all.
Can I whiten my teeth if I'm pregnant?
It's not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding, since whitening agents haven't been adequately studied for that. Best to wait until afterwards.
