Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Staughton Highway choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Some patients whiten in one appointment; others prefer the slower, gentler take-home route.

Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Staughton Highway: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
Yellow-toned staining lifts most readily; grey and intrinsic staining (antibiotics, fluorosis) far less so. Existing restorations stay the same shade, so front-tooth crowns or fillings may need separate planning.
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.
