A whiter and brighter smile can make a huge difference to your look and the way you feel. As our teeth naturally darken with age, we associate whiter teeth with youth and vigour. It also lifts your confidence and makes you much more likely to flash a full smile.
Whitening is a process where tooth discolouration is ‘whitened’ to a lighter shade. It removes the staining agent through chemical means. It is a safe procedure when carried out under professional supervision.
Affordable home whitening with Boutique
Home whitening is a fantastic whitening method, and much more suitable for people with sensitive teeth. Home whitening comes with a custom-made mouth tray that can be worn for a short amount of time during the day or at night. Your dream shade can be achieved in a couple weeks.
Dentist supervised home whitening is safe and effective. The mouth trays are designed to fit you comfortably and securely, allowing the active gel to work more effectively. It can also be carried out at times to suit you, in the comfort of your own home.
What does the treatment involve?
- Impressions are taken of your teeth so customised whitening trays can be produced to fit.
- When ready, you will wear these at home with a bleaching gel for a specified length of time each day.
- After wearing the trays for a few weeks, you will attend a follow-up appointment to check your teeth have reached the desired shade.
