Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth whitening lightens the natural colour of your teeth using professional gels that lift stains and discolouration, giving you a brighter smile. 

We use gel whitening. You get a tray made to fit your teeth and a special gel to use at home. You can whiten your teeth safely and choose how white you want them.


This is different from laser or in-office whitening, where a dentist uses a light to speed things up.
Gel whitening is known as the best and safest way — it gives better, longer-lasting results, is gentler on your teeth, and you can easily top it up when needed. 

Professional whitening uses stronger, clinically tested gels for safer, longer-lasting results, that are only available on prescription by a dentist in the UK. Shop-bought products are weaker, less effective, and can cause uneven whitening.

We use the Boutique whitening system.

Boutique Whitening is a professional teeth whitening system that offers safe and effective at-home use. It includes custom-fitted trays and a whitening gel that brightens your natural teeth. We are a supplier of Boutique Whitening products — not the manufacturer.
