For a brighter smile, professional whitening is a well-evidenced, non-invasive first step. It's a mainstay of cosmetic dentistry in Yockleton, delivered under proper clinical supervision. 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 Yockleton patients, with whitening moving them several grades lighter.
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
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.
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.
