How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Gloup: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
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.
Whitening Options Available in Gloup
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 involves bespoke trays and dentist-supplied gel worn over roughly a fortnight — excellent, controllable results at your own pace.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Gloup because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.

Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
No — whitening gel does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or composite fillings. If your restorations are placed on visible front teeth, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may create a colour mismatch. Discuss this with your dentist before treatment so a plan can be made.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Expect results to hold for 12-24 months, shorter if you drink a lot of tea, coffee or red wine, or smoke. A quick top-up course every 12-18 months keeps things bright long-term.
