Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. Practices in Mynytho tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
Tooth Sensitivity and Aftercare
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.

Whitening Options Available in Mynytho
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 uses custom trays and professional-strength gel worn daily (30 minutes to overnight) over 2–4 weeks. It builds a gradual result with less sensitivity than in-chair treatment.
Combined whitening (an in-chair session followed by take-home top-ups) is often recommended in Mynytho because it maximises the initial jump and lets you maintain the shade over time.
Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.

Can I whiten teeth with fillings or gum disease?
Active decay and untreated gum disease should be resolved before whitening, which is one reason a dental check comes first. Existing fillings won't change colour, so their appearance is reviewed as part of planning. A dentist will confirm your mouth is healthy enough to whiten safely.
How soon after braces can I whiten my teeth?
It's usually best to wait a few weeks after braces are removed so the gums settle and any residual bonding is cleaned off. Whitening after orthodontics is very common — many patients treat it as the finishing touch — but your dentist will confirm the right timing for your case.
