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.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
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.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
Dental professionals in Garnfadryn 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.

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.
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.
