For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. In Glandwr 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.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
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.
A brief 'white diet' — skipping strongly coloured food and drink for two days — protects the fresh result. Long-term, good hygiene and an occasional top-up every 12–18 months keep teeth bright.

Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Dental professionals in Glandwr 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.
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.
