Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Practices in Great Bromley tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
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.

Professional Whitening Choices in Great Bromley
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 pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Great Bromley for people who want quick results that last.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.
