How White Will My Teeth Get? Setting Realistic Expectations
One of the most common questions we hear at Old Town Dental Care, our Aberdeen dental clinic, is: “How many shades whiter will my teeth become?” It’s important to understand that teeth whitening results vary from person to person based on your starting shade and the amount of staining.
Understanding Shade Progression
We use the VITA Tooth Shade Guide, the industry standard for measuring tooth colour. Most patients achieve results ranging from 2–8 shades lighter, depending on their baseline shade and commitment to the whitening process.
|
Shade Range
|
Description
|
Expected Improvement
|
|---|---|---|
|
A1–A2 (Current)
|
Naturally white, minimal staining
|
2–3 shades (subtle enhancement)
|
|
B1–B3 (Light Staining)
|
Slightly yellowed from diet/age
|
4–6 shades lighter
|
|
C1–C3 (Moderate Staining)
|
Noticeably discoloured from years of staining
|
6–8 shades lighter
|
|
D1–D4 (Deep Staining)
|
Severely stained from smoking/long-term coffee use
|
4–8 shades (depends on commitment)
|
Realistic Expectations
- If your teeth are severely stained (from years of coffee, wine, or smoking), expect 4–8 shades of improvement with consistent use.
- If you have minimal staining, you may see 2–4 shades of lightening within the first two weeks.
- Natural tooth colour has limits—we cannot make teeth appear unnatural white or plastic. Our goal is a bright, healthy-looking smile.
What Does The Treatment Involve?
- Digital Impressions: We start with a precise scan of your teeth using our modern scanner to capture every detail for tailored results.
- Customised Whitening Trays: These are crafted based on digital impressions so that your bespoke whitening trays guarantee a perfect fit for optimal results.
- Bleaching Gel Application: Use the trays at home to apply our specialised bleaching gel for the suggested time period each day or night that suits your schedule.
- Monitoring Progress: Despite the at-home nature, we closely monitor your progress, minimising gum irritation and tooth sensitivity for a comfortable experience.
- Follow-Up Appointment: After a few weeks, attend a follow-up appointment to assess the achieved shade and ensure your satisfaction.
