Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. In Spelsbury 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.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Spelsbury: 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.

Sensitivity, Aftercare and Keeping Results
Transient sensitivity is normal and short-lived. Pre-treating with a sensitivity toothpaste, and avoiding very hot or cold drinks for a day or two afterwards, keeps it manageable for most people.
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.
