Professional teeth whitening is an effective way to improve your smile. A whiter smile can sometimes boost your confidence, especially if you feel self-conscious about the colour of your teeth.

Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly requested cosmetic dental treatments. We offer both in-practice and at-home teeth whitening options. Knowing how and where to get your teeth whitened safely and effectively may not always be obvious.

At Trusmile Dental we use two professional whitening systems, Boutique (£350) and Enlighten (£600). Boutique can be applied in practice, at home with custom trays, or as a combination of both. Enlighten follows a set protocol of two weeks of at-home tray wear followed by a final in-practice activation appointment, which is what allows it to guarantee the B1 shade. With either system, you’ll have the reassurance of being treated by one of our qualified dentists.

Results from professional treatments can be substantial, and because a dental professional is involved, the process is safe, reliable and hassle free.

There are numerous types of teeth stains; some are genetic, environmental or pharmacological in nature. The most common are surface stains on the enamel or beneath the enamel in the dentine. Surface stains are caused by foods, beverages and lifestyle behaviours, like smoking. Over time, surface stains may penetrate the enamel and change the colour of the dentine, which darkens the overall appearance of the tooth due to the translucency of the enamel layer.

When this occurs, the tooth often appears yellow. Boutique and Enlighten professional whitening are both fast, effective and safe ways to whiten your teeth. With Boutique, treatment can be applied at our practice, at home with customised trays, or a combination of the two. Enlighten follows a set protocol of two weeks of at-home tray wear followed by a final in-practice activation appointment, which is what allows it to guarantee the B1 shade. Either system is a great way to stay on top of persistent stains and discoloured teeth and achieve natural looking results.
