Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. In Ham Marsh it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Ham Marsh: 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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
Some patients feel sensitivity during whitening, particularly in-chair. Using a potassium-nitrate or stannous-fluoride toothpaste for one to two weeks before treatment cuts this significantly, and a desensitising gel can be used between sessions.
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.
