The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Kinlochteacuis 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.
Not all teeth respond equally. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis whitens poorly, yellow tones respond best, and grey tones least. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour at all, which can create mismatches to plan around.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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 soon after braces can I whiten my teeth?
It's usually best to wait a few weeks after braces are removed so the gums settle and any residual bonding is cleaned off. Whitening after orthodontics is very common — many patients treat it as the finishing touch — but your dentist will confirm the right timing for your case.
Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for professional whitening. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients under 18, or for those with severe gum disease or untreated decay. Intrinsic staining (from antibiotics or fluorosis) responds poorly and should be discussed with a dentist.
