Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. In Martham it is a common request, and results go well beyond what a supermarket kit can manage. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.
Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Martham patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
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.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
For 48 hours afterwards, avoid intensely pigmented foods and drinks — coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauces — while the enamel is temporarily more porous. Results typically last 12–24 months before a short top-up restores the shade.
