Whitening Options Available in Llandeloy
In-chair (laser/light-activated) whitening happens in a single visit: a strong hydrogen-peroxide gel is light-activated for immediate change, usually lifting the shade several grades in one sitting.
Take-home tray whitening involves bespoke trays and dentist-supplied gel worn over roughly a fortnight — excellent, controllable results at your own pace.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Llandeloy because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits sold in shops are limited by law to weak gel concentrations, so they're fine for touch-ups but no substitute for dentist-led whitening.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
Sensitivity is the most common side effect — usually a sharp, transient twinge with air or cold that settles within 24–48 hours. A sensitivity toothpaste used for two weeks beforehand noticeably reduces it.
Whitened enamel re-stains fastest in the first couple of days, so ease off coffee, tea and red wine. With sensible maintenance the shade holds for one to two years before a quick refresh.

They also customise treatment to your tooth shade and sensitivity level, and can address any underlying dental issues before whitening that might otherwise cause problems.
Will whitening affect my crowns or veneers?
No — whitening gel does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or composite fillings. If your restorations are placed on visible front teeth, whitening the surrounding natural teeth may create a colour mismatch. Discuss this with your dentist before treatment so a plan can be made.
