Whitening supplied by a registered dental professional uses far stronger gel than anything sold over the counter. Patients across West Sharcott choose it because the shade lift is calibrated to their teeth and sensitivity. The timescale ranges from a single 90-minute visit to a fortnight of overnight tray wear.
How Tooth Colour Is Measured
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in West Sharcott: most teeth start near A2–B3, and a course commonly achieves a 4–8 shade improvement.
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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
