Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Practices in Tuckswood tailor the concentration to your natural shade rather than a one-size-fits-all gel. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Tuckswood 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.
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.
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.
