Professional whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals in the UK. Always verify that any clinic offering whitening treatment is registered with the General Dental Council before proceeding.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Dental professionals in Inverlair use the VITA classical shade guide to record tooth colour, running from A1 (lightest) to C4 (darkest). Most natural teeth sit between A2 and B3, and professional whitening typically lifts 4–8 grades.
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.

Can I whiten my teeth if I'm pregnant?
Professional teeth whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The effects of whitening agents on developing foetuses have not been adequately studied. It is best to postpone whitening until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.
Can I whiten my teeth if I'm under 18?
No — it's not legally performed on under-18s in the UK, since younger enamel is still maturing and more vulnerable to whitening agents. Eligibility starts at 18 with good dental health.
