For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. Patients across Stebbligrind choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. Depending on the method, you'll see change immediately or across a short take-home course.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
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.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
Dental professionals in Stebbligrind use the VITA classical shade guide to record tooth colour, running from A1 (lightest) to C4 (darkest). Most natural teeth sit between A2 and B3, and professional whitening typically lifts 4–8 grades.
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.
