What is Boutique Whitening?
Designed by dentists, the multi-award-winning Boutique Whitening offers teeth whitening solutions to suit your lifestyle. It is a safe and effective method of whitening your teeth, with a proven track record of success. Our dentists are trained and experienced in using this system and will work with you to achieve the best possible results.
How does Boutique Whitening work?
Our dentist will first carry out a full dental examination to assess the overall health of your mouth. Provided everything looks good, they will then explain your teeth whitening options. With Boutique, you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep, depending on what suits your lifestyle. Your dentist will take some photographs to check the existing shade of your teeth. After an impression or digital scan is taken, it will be sent to our in-house lab for the creation of your bespoke, custom-fit whitening trays. Your trays will be ready for pickup approximately a week after your appointment. During this time, our team will provide you with the whitening syringes and instructions on how to use the trays. In most cases, you can expect to see improvement within just a few days, with optimal results achieved in around 3 weeks. The process is straightforward, and your beautiful smile is just a pick-up away!
Why Choose Boutique Whitening for Your Brightest Smile?
Choosing Boutique Whitening for your teeth whitening needs ensures that you are opting for a premium and professional solution to enhance the beauty of your smile. At Helix Dental, we prioritize the use of Boutique Whitening, a high-quality system known for delivering superior results. What sets Boutique Whitening apart is its commitment to providing a comfortable and effective whitening experience through custom-fit trays tailored to your unique smile. Whether you prefer day or night whitening, we offer a range of options to suit your lifestyle.
Day or night whitening?
Boutique Whitening comes in different formulas so that you can whiten your teeth during the day, or overnight as you sleep. The Day kit contains 6% hydrogen peroxide and is designed for 2 hours wear per day. The Night kits come as either 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide, which is designed for 6 hours overnight wear. While both kits will produce the same end result, our dentist will be able to explain the differences in the types of bleach and advise the correct formula for you. This will be based on various factors, including your lifestyle, preferences, and dental history.
Tips on maintaining your whiter, brighter smile

- Avoid over-consumption of food and drink that cause staining - red wine, coffee, etc.
- Brush and floss twice every day.
- Visit the hygienist regularly.
- Use whitening top-ups as recommended by your dentist.
- Don’t smoke or chew tobacco.
