ABOUT Teeth Whitening
Our Green Practices
At Smart Dental Care, we are proud to be leading the way in sustainable dentistry in the UK, combining quality clinical care with a strong commitment to the environment. As part of our journey towards green dental practice standards, we have become the first UK dental group to eliminate plastic disinfectant wipes across all of our practices, in partnership with UK healthcare innovator Veraco.
HyGe uses advanced, hands-free dispenser technology to deliver a plastic-free wipe. This move towards plastic-free dentistry helps lower carbon emissions and supports a more sustainable future, while also creating a safer and more efficient environment for our dental teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Smart Dental Care, we only use regulated, professional-grade whitening treatments that are proven safe and effective.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes. Boutique Whitening is a clinically tested, dentist-approved system with a strong safety record. Its active ingredients are enamel-friendly and carefully balanced for optimal results.
How many appointments do I need for teeth whitening?
You’ll visit once for a full dental check and impressions. Around two weeks later, you’ll return for tray fitting and treatment guidance. Results are typically achieved after 3–4 weeks of home use, followed by a review appointment.
Do I need to continue whitening after treatment?
To maintain your results, occasional top-up whitening is recommended. Teeth naturally darken over time, so regular refresh sessions will keep your smile bright.
Will my teeth become sensitive?
Mild sensitivity is normal during whitening, but Boutique gels contain potassium fluoride to minimise discomfort and protect enamel.
How long will results last?
With good oral hygiene and periodic top-ups, your brighter smile can last for years.
