Dentist-led whitening is a safe, effective way to lighten tooth shade by several grades. Practices in Wyham 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.
Managing Sensitivity After Whitening
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.
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.

Understanding Tooth Shade — The VITA Scale
The VITA guide gives whitening an objective before-and-after in Wyham: 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.
