Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments there is. Patients across Tyneham 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.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
Colour is tracked on the VITA scale — A1 at the light end through to C4 at the dark. Untreated teeth usually fall around A2–B3 in Tyneham patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
Not all teeth respond equally. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis whitens poorly, yellow tones respond best, and grey tones least. Crowns, veneers and fillings don't change colour at all, which can create mismatches to plan around.
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.

Am I suitable for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are suitable for professional whitening. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, for patients under 18, or for those with severe gum disease or untreated decay. Intrinsic staining (from antibiotics or fluorosis) responds poorly and should be discussed with a dentist.
How soon after braces can I whiten my teeth?
It's usually best to wait a few weeks after braces are removed so the gums settle and any residual bonding is cleaned off. Whitening after orthodontics is very common — many patients treat it as the finishing touch — but your dentist will confirm the right timing for your case.
