Our teeth whitening treatments from leading brands Enlighten and Boutique are safe, simple and effective.

Quickfire Guide to Teeth Whitening

  • Treatment Type: at-home treatment to whiten your teeth using custom-made whitening trays, and gels.
  • Benefits: safe whitening treatment that can last for up to 3 years.
  • Process: consultation + dental impressions + whitening your teeth at home.

How It Works

Our teeth whitening treatments from Enlighten and Boutique use whitening gels and custom whitening trays over a period of between 5-14 days (depending on how white you would like your teeth to go).

The gels are specially formulated to penetrate into the pores of your teeth, safely breaking down the staining sustained.

The Benefits of Enlighten And Boutique Whitening Brands

Enlighten and Boutique are two of the world’s leading teeth whitening brands, suitable for patients with tooth sensitivity, and whitening your teeth without causing irritation or harm.

Whilst it’s possible to achieve a whiter smile with in-chair whitening methods, at-home whitening brands achieve longer-lasting results. You’ll also have the convenience to make the treatment work around your lifestyle – wear your whitening trays day or night- whatever suits you.

What To Expect

  1. Chat with your Dentist
    We’ll need to check you don’t have any hidden issues like decay or gum disease – as responsible dentists, we never go ahead with cosmetic procedures until your teeth have undergone a full MOT to check for any issues. Your dentist will advise on whether at-home teeth whitening is suitable for meeting your expectations, depending on how white you would like your teeth to be. For patients who want to whiten their teeth to the maximum, Enlighten is the most suitable brand, guaranteeing a shade B1 (the whitest teeth will go without the use of veneers).
  2. Preparation
    Dental impressions of your teeth are taken digitally and sent away to your choice of whitening brand, who create the whitening trays. Once we receive these, you can start your treatment at home, using the gels we provide to whiten your teeth. We’ll show you how to apply these to the whitening trays (don’t worry it’s really simple, but if you have any problems just give us a call).

FAQs

Can yellow teeth become white again?

Even severely discoloured teeth can benefit from teeth whitening.

If you have staining related to oral hygiene (plaque and tartar) this will be removed prior to starting your whitening treatment. One of our hygienists will do this for you at a separate appointment, and it will help to maximise the results of your whitening treatments.

We can also use our Airflow polishing system to get rid of thicker plaque and tartar staining along your gum line, leaving your teeth looking as blemish-free as possible before starting with your teeth whitening trays.

How long do I wear my whitening trays each day?

You should wear your whitening trays for between 4 and 6 hours within a 24-hour period to achieve results within a two-week window.

If you’ve had whitening done in the last year and you’d like to top up the shade, you may just need to wear them for 1-2 hours a day for 5 or 6 days.

Is whitening safe for your teeth?

When teeth whitening is carried out under the supervision of a dentist, it’s completely safe.

We encourage you to stay away from over-the-counter whitening processes, and to never see anyone except a dental professional for teeth whitening (it isn’t safe and the results won’t look good).

Why are my teeth yellow when I brush them every day?

Your diet has a significant impact on the shade of your teeth.

Unsurprisingly, consuming teeth-staining food and drinks high in tannins will inevitably dull your tooth shade, whilst plaque and tartar can give your teeth an unsightly brown stain.
