Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. It's a mainstay of cosmetic dentistry in Maidensgrove, delivered under proper clinical supervision. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Maidensgrove: 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 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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
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.
