Professional teeth whitening treatment by your dentist or dental hygienist
In today’s image-conscious world, having a dazzling smile has become more important than ever. Whether it’s for a job interview, a special occasion, or simply to boost your self-esteem, tooth whitening can make a significant difference.
Our team in Far Headingley understands the importance of a beautiful smile. Our dental professionals are at the forefront of the latest whitening techniques and products, ensuring safe and effective results.
Teeth whitening treatment usually involves using either a professional custom-made home whitening kit, or a combination of home whitening and an in-surgery ‘power’ whitening treatment. This boosts the whitening, removes stains and lightens the colour of the teeth.
Your dentist will discuss your needs and help you choose which option for teeth whitening is most suitable for you.
Boutique home teeth whitening
Home teeth whitening is where you apply a special teeth whitening gel into a personally created gum shield or ‘tray’ and wear it overnight for 1 to 2 weeks. At Leeds Wellness Dental Implant & Aesthetics Care we recommend the Boutique whitening at home teeth whitening system.
This is a less expensive alternative to Enlighten combination teeth whitening, but it does take longer to achieve the results that you get with a combined home and in-surgery whitening system such as Enlighten.
- Convenient – Easily top up your whitening at home with refill syringes
- Reliable – We use Boutique ‘By Night’ for effective, overnight whitening
Our favourite technique for teeth whitening uses the Enlighten teeth whitening procedure.
This is a combination whitening technique of home teeth whitening followed by an in-surgery teeth whitening booster session lasting around an hour. This teeth whitening process is guaranteed to give you a whiter, brighter smile.
Enlighten Research Labs is the technology leader in professional teeth whitening. It introduces a new system to the market if it represents a generational leap in effectiveness and always backs its products with professional training in clinical and management techniques.
It is important that Enlighten teeth whitening is performed by a dental professional who is trained and experienced in the specific system.

How long does teeth whitening last?
Teeth whitening results can last up to two years, but this varies from person to person. Over time, teeth may gradually stain and darken again, though this happens slowly. With a custom-home whitening kit, you can conveniently top up your treatment to maintain a brighter smile.Factors like smoking and consuming stain-causing foods and drinks can shorten the effects of whitening. Your dentist will discuss how to maximize your results before you begin treatment.
Why aren’t my teeth white?
Some people have naturally darker teeth. Your teeth can also be stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine and blackcurrant. Smoking can also stain teeth. Tartar can also affect the colour of your teeth. Some people may have staining under the surface, which can be caused by certain antibiotics or by tiny cracks in the teeth which allow the stain to penetrate the teeth.
What is the teeth whitening agent in Boutique teeth whitening?
The active chemical in the Boutique teeth whitening agent is 16% carbamide peroxide. This gel releases oxygen free radicals (which whiten the teeth) over a longer period of time, due to its sustained release. This gradual approach will still give fantastic results, due the length of time the gel stays active.
What are ‘personal whitening trays’?
Teeth whitening trays look like a gum shield or mouth guard. Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and send this away to a dental laboratory so that they can use this as a mould to create trays that are designed for your teeth. This ensures that you have a perfect fit and that the whitening agent can be evenly administered on to your teeth without leakage.
Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?
In a very small number of cases, patients might find that their teeth become sensitive during or after the treatment. There could be discomfort in the gums, you might get a sore throat or tiny white patches on your gums. These symptoms are usually temporary and disappear after a few days of treatment. The most frequent side effect is a small amount of sensitivity that your dentist can help you with by applying a desensitising gel on your teeth.
Is Enlighten the same product as home teeth whitening?
No. The active whitening agent that is used in in-home teeth whitening is not as strong as the one used in the Enlighten teeth whitening product. Enlighten has to be administered by your dentist or dental therapist to prevent any problems such as bleaching of the gums or in severe cases, chemical burns.
Why can’t I just have Enlighten teeth whitening in surgery?
The Enlighten system is a combination of home teeth whitening using a milder whitening serum and a stronger serum to boost results. The boost on its own is not effective enough to guarantee B1 whitening results.
Your teeth whitening consultation in Leeds
We welcome patients from other practices, but if you haven't had a recent check-up, a dental exam may be needed at an additional cost.
This exam ensures you’re suitable for whitening. Any untreated issues, like decay or gum problems, must be addressed before treatment.
