How Tooth Colour Is Measured
Dental professionals in Llansantffraed-Cwmdeuddwr 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.
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.
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.

Why is it illegal for beauty salons to whiten teeth?
In the UK, tooth whitening is legally restricted to registered dental professionals because it involves clinical assessment and regulated peroxide concentrations. Beauty salons or non-dentists offering whitening are acting illegally, and treatment without a proper dental check carries real risks to teeth and gums.
How white can my teeth get?
Results depend on your natural starting shade. Most patients can achieve a lift of 4–8 VITA shade grades with professional whitening. Teeth cannot be whitened beyond their natural genetic shade maximum. Yellow-toned staining responds best; grey-toned or intrinsic staining responds poorly or not at all.
