Professional teeth whitening is one of the most affordable and effective cosmetic dental treatments available. If you’re considering brightening your smile, you’re likely asking: How much is professional teeth whitening? This article breaks down the costs, treatment options, and what to expect from the process.
What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a dentist-supervised treatment that uses safe, high-strength whitening gels to reduce discolouration and improve the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike over-the-counter whitening kits or toothpaste, professional whitening is customised for your smile and provides more reliable, longer-lasting results.
Why Consider Professional Whitening?
Discolouration is common and can be caused by:
- Red wine, coffee, and tea
- Smoking or vaping
- Natural ageing
- Certain medications
Professional whitening is an accessible way to restore brightness to your teeth without invasive procedures.
What’s Included in Professional Teeth Whitening?
At High Street Smiles, professional whitening includes:
- An in-depth consultation
- Custom trays made to fit your teeth
- Whitening gel (Boutique or Dental White Beauty)
- Detailed instructions for home use
- Optional top-up solutions for future maintenance
Types of Whitening Offered
High Street Smiles offers at-home whitening kits using two premium systems:
1. Boutique Whitening
- Can be worn during the day or overnight
- Gradually lightens teeth over 3–4 weeks
- Allows patients to control shade and comfort
2. Dental White Beauty
- Similar treatment duration
- Also includes day or night usage flexibility
Both treatments involve wearing the trays filled with whitening gel for a set period of time each day. Results become visible gradually, making the transition to a whiter smile more natural.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost?
At High Street Smiles, professional teeth whitening is priced at £395.
This includes:
- The initial dental consultation
- Custom-made trays for your teeth
- Whitening gel and instructions
Top-up gel syringes can be purchased later to refresh your results using the same trays. For more information on pricing, visit our pricing page.
Is Professional Whitening Worth It?
Compared to other cosmetic dental treatments like veneers or crowns, teeth whitening is a cost-effective option for enhancing your smile. Benefits include:
- A brighter, more youthful appearance
- Improved self-confidence
- Non-invasive treatment
- Minimal to no discomfort
- Long-term results with proper care
Frequently Asked Questions:
Will My Teeth Look Natural?
Yes. Because the treatment lightens your natural tooth structure, your results will look brighter but still natural. You can stop treatment once you’re happy with the shade, avoiding the “overdone” look.
For patients seeking a dramatic transformation (such as a “Hollywood smile”), options like porcelain veneers may be better suited. Your dentist can advise during consultation.
Can I Whiten My Teeth at Home?
Yes. The systems provided are dentist-supervised at-home whitening kits, meaning you can whiten your teeth in comfort, on your schedule, and with professional-grade results.
Treatment is convenient for busy patients and provides the same whitening effects as in-practice procedures – without needing multiple appointments.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results from professional whitening can last several months or longer depending on:
- Diet and lifestyle habits (e.g. avoiding staining foods)
- Oral hygiene
- Use of top-up whitening gel over time
With occasional touch-ups and good hygiene, your smile can remain bright well into the future.
