Teeth whitening is an extremely popular treatment that, if the Enlighten system is used, could improve your smile by up to 16 shades. Enlighten is an award-winning tooth whitening system and the only treatment in the world to guarantee VITA shade B1, the industry-standard natural white tooth colour. We believe it to be the most effective teeth whitening system currently available for home use. When using Enlighten, we provide you with custom-made super-sealed whitening trays and gels to use in the comfort of your own home for a minimum of six hours overnight over a period of two weeks. The treatment comes complete with a power boost session at our clinic at the end of the two weeks. Enlighten is the perfect Home treatment for helping to preserve your whiter smile for longer.
Boutique Whitening is another leading brand home whitening kit and is a safe and effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth and enhancing your smile, without removing or damaging any of your tooth surfaces. For convenience, we offer two versions of Boutique home whitening – Day or Night. The Day whitening gel can be worn in your custom-made whitening trays for around 15 – 20 minutes twice daily, or our Night whitening gel can be used for one to two hours overnight. The key features of the Boutique whitening system are its neutral PH so it protects the enamel. It is an easy-to-use product that will need to be used daily at home and you will usually see great results within 7-14 days.
Teeth can become stained or discoloured for several reasons. One of the most common causes is aging—over time, the outer enamel layer of your teeth gradually wears away, revealing the darker dentin beneath, which makes teeth appear less bright.
Diet also plays a big role. Consuming dark-coloured foods and drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, cola, and certain spices (like those found in curry) can leave surface stains on your teeth. Smoking and tobacco use are other major contributors to tooth discoloration.
Additionally, some medications, poor oral hygiene, and certain illnesses can affect the colour of your teeth. Regular dental cleanings and good oral care help reduce staining, and professional whitening treatments can restore a brighter smile.
Teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified professional. Our fully qualified dentists and hygienists have many years experience of successfully providing tooth whitening to our patients across Bolton and Greater Manchester. It’s important to be aware that teeth whitening can only be performed by GDC-registered dental professionals.

The cost of teeth whitening can vary depending on the treatment method and the dental practice you choose. Professional in-office whitening treatments typically start from around £350, offering faster and more noticeable results compared to over-the-counter products.
Other options include take-home whitening kits provided by dentists, which may be priced differently. It’s important to consult with a dental professional to determine the best whitening method for your teeth and to get an accurate cost estimate based on your individual needs.
Choosing the right teeth whitening method depends on your needs and budget. Enlighten Teeth Whitening guarantees the brightest B1 shade with a combination of in-clinic and at-home treatment, offering long-lasting results with minimal sensitivity. It’s ideal for those seeking professional oversight and the best possible outcome. On the other hand, Boutique Home Teeth Whitening provides a cost-effective and convenient at-home solution, suitable for those with busy schedules who prefer gradual whitening. Both options deliver excellent results, so your choice should reflect your lifestyle and whitening goals.
