Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale

The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Heston East: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.

Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.

Professional Whitening Choices in Heston East

In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening delivers the fastest visible result — one supervised session with professional-strength gel, most patients leaving 4–8 VITA shades lighter that day.

Take-home tray whitening gives you custom-fitted trays to wear at home for a couple of weeks; the slower build tends to be gentler on sensitivity while reaching the same end shade.

Combined whitening blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.

Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.
