Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Grasscroft choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
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.
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.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
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 Grasscroft 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.
