Teeth Whitening in Harlow Hill

For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. Practices in Harlow Hill 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.

Managing Sensitivity After Whitening

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.

How Tooth Colour Is Measured

The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Harlow Hill: 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.
