Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Garbat 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.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
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.
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 Garbat patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
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.

What county is Garbat in?

Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
No, gel doesn't change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or fillings — which can actually create a mismatch against newly-whitened natural teeth if the restoration is on a visible front tooth. Worth flagging to your dentist beforehand.
Can I whiten teeth with fillings or gum disease?
Active decay and untreated gum disease should be resolved before whitening, which is one reason a dental check comes first. Existing fillings won't change colour, so their appearance is reviewed as part of planning. A dentist will confirm your mouth is healthy enough to whiten safely.
