Teeth whitening in Chipstead: how the whole thing works

From first appointment to bright smile

The consultation

Your first visit is free and largely a conversation. We confirm your teeth and gums are healthy enough to whiten, listen to the shade you are hoping for, and point out anything that might affect the outcome, such as existing crowns or fillings that keep their original colour. We then agree which system fits you best.

Your bespoke trays

Next we take a scan or impressions of your teeth so a dental lab can build trays moulded exactly to your mouth. This is the step boxed kits skip, and it is precisely why they underwhelm. A tray made for you holds the gel snugly against every tooth and away from the gums, giving an even, comfortable result.

Whitening from your own sofa

Once your trays are ready, the work happens at home. You wear them with a measured amount of professional gel, either for a short daytime session or overnight, depending on the system. Boutique, for instance, offers a one-hour daytime wear or an overnight option. Most people notice change within the first several days and finish the course over two to three weeks.

The result and looking after it

At the end you reach your new shade, and we hand over straightforward aftercare. For around 24 hours after each session, steer clear of coffee, tea and red wine while the enamel settles, then carry on as usual. Keep your trays for occasional top-ups so the brightness holds, and we are only a short drive away if you have any questions along the way.
