Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across Littlegain choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Littlegain: 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.

Professional Whitening Choices in Littlegain
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 legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.
