Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Pontesbury Hill tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Whitening Options Available in Pontesbury Hill
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 gives you custom-fitted trays to wear at home for a couple of weeks; the slower build tends to be gentler on sensitivity while reaching the same end shade.
Combined whitening blends both approaches: immediate lift in the chair, then home trays to fine-tune and sustain the colour.
Over-the-counter kits are legally capped at very low peroxide levels and can't match professional results. They suit minor maintenance at best, not a genuine shade change.
Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
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.
