How Tooth Colour Is Measured

The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Trebullett: 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.

Ways to Whiten Your Teeth in Trebullett

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 pairs a fast in-chair kick-start with trays for maintenance — a popular route in Trebullett for people who want quick results that last.

Over-the-counter kits are the weakest option by a wide margin — useful only for very minor upkeep, never for a real shade improvement.
