Not all whitening
is the same.
Professional teeth whitening uses clinician-prescribed bleaching agents at concentrations that are simply not available over the counter. That means results that are noticeably more effective, longer lasting, and significantly safer than anything you can buy in a supermarket or beauty salon. In the UK, tooth whitening is a regulated dental procedure and can only legally be carried out by a registered dental professional or on their prescription.
At Parchment Street Dental, our recommended approach is Boutique home whitening: custom-fitted trays made precisely to your teeth, used in your own time, at a pace that suits your sensitivity and lifestyle. It is a gentler, more controlled process that consistently delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results, and remains our gold standard for a reason.
Professional whitening is the only way to achieve safe, predictable, long-lasting results.

completely natural.
The best whitening results are the ones that look entirely like you. We shade-match carefully, work at a pace your teeth can tolerate, and focus on achieving brightness that feels effortless rather than obvious.
Clinically safe and prescribed
Professional whitening uses regulated bleaching agents that are only available on prescription from a registered dental professional. Unlike products sold online or in beauty salons, which are either illegal or too weak to make a meaningful difference, clinician-prescribed whitening is both effective and properly overseen. We carry out a full assessment before prescribing to make sure your teeth and gums are suitable.
Whitening on your terms
Boutique home whitening is our recommended approach. Using custom-fitted trays made precisely to your teeth, you whiten in your own time, either during the day or overnight, over a course of one to two weeks. It is a gentler, more controlled process that consistently delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results. For patients who would prefer an in-practice option, this can be discussed at your consultation.
Sensitivity managed carefully
Some sensitivity during whitening is common and entirely manageable. Boutique is formulated with sensitivity in mind, and we factor your individual tolerance into the treatment plan from the outset. For patients with naturally sensitive teeth, we adjust the concentration and schedule accordingly, so you can achieve the result you want without unnecessary discomfort.
Long-lasting with simple maintenance
Professional whitening results typically last one to three years, depending on diet and lifestyle. Your custom trays make top-up treatment straightforward whenever you want to refresh your shade, using a small amount of additional whitening gel. We advise on which foods and drinks to moderate in the days immediately following treatment, and can provide ongoing support to help you maintain your results over time.
How whitening
works.
Boutique home whitening follows a careful, considered process from first consultation to long-term maintenance. Select each step to see what is involved.
We begin with a full assessment of your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is suitable for you. We note your current shade and discuss your goals, including how white you would like to go and how quickly. We then recommend the most appropriate treatment, explain exactly what is involved, and confirm the fee before anything begins. There is never any pressure to proceed on the day.
There is always
a reason.
Whitening is one of those treatments that suits almost any moment. Whether you have a specific occasion in mind or simply want to feel more confident in your own skin, the results speak for themselves.
The most photographed day of your life deserves a smile you feel completely confident in. We time treatment so your shade is at its best for the big day.
First impressions are made in seconds. A brighter, healthier-looking smile is a quiet confidence that carries you through every introduction.
Because you deserve to look as good in your photos as you feel on the trip. Boutique home trays travel beautifully wherever you are headed.
You do not need a reason. Wanting to feel more confident and comfortable with your smile is reason enough. That is the most common one we hear.
Whatever your reason, we would love to help you get there.

often wonder.
Everything you might want to know before whitening your teeth. Still have a question? We are always happy to help.
Yes, when carried out under the supervision of a registered dental professional. Professional whitening uses clinically tested bleaching agents at safe, regulated concentrations. Before prescribing, we always assess the health of your teeth and gums to confirm you are a suitable candidate. Products sold online or in beauty salons are either ineffective or, in some cases, illegal in the UK at the concentrations required to produce meaningful results.
Some sensitivity during or after whitening is common and usually settles within a day or two. Boutique home whitening is formulated to minimise this, and we factor your individual sensitivity into the treatment plan from the outset. If you already have sensitive teeth, we will adjust the product and schedule to keep you comfortable throughout. Sensitivity from professional whitening is temporary and manageable for the vast majority of patients.
Results typically last one to three years, depending on your diet and lifestyle habits. Foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine, and tea, as well as smoking, will gradually restain the teeth over time. Your custom trays make top-up treatment simple whenever you want to refresh your shade, using a small amount of additional whitening gel. Many patients do a brief top-up once or twice a year to keep their result looking fresh.
Whitening gel only affects natural tooth enamel. It will not change the shade of crowns, veneers, composite bonding, or fillings. If you have visible restorations in your smile, it is worth discussing this at your consultation, as whitening your natural teeth could create a mismatch in shade. In some cases, patients choose to whiten first and then replace any visible restorations to match their new, brighter smile.
For most patients, Boutique home whitening is our recommended approach. It is flexible, gentle, and consistently delivers natural-looking, long-lasting results at a pace that suits you. We will always advise on the most appropriate option for your teeth, your goals, and your lifestyle after a full assessment at your consultation.
Your brightest smile yet.
