The VITA Shade Guide Explained
Dental professionals in Uags 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.
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
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.
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.

They also customise treatment to your tooth shade and sensitivity level, and can address any underlying dental issues before whitening that might otherwise cause problems.
Can I whiten my teeth if I'm pregnant?
Professional teeth whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. The effects of whitening agents on developing foetuses have not been adequately studied. It is best to postpone whitening until after pregnancy and breastfeeding are complete.
