Boutique Tooth Whitening
One of the most common complaints people have about their teeth is that they have lost some of their natural sheen and are not as bright as they used to be. Teeth will naturally become darker as we get a little older. Over a period of time, the food and drinks we enjoy can stain even the best cared-for teeth. Drinking red wine, tea and coffee are among the worst culprits, whilst habits such as smoking can further stain your teeth. This can make you feel self-conscious about your smile and negatively affect your self-esteem.
Some people like their teeth to look naturally brighter, while others dream of a Hollywood smile. Whatever your choice, with Boutique Whitening we can help you to achieve the gleaming smile you have always wanted!
We offer a free tooth whitening consultation to allow you an opportunity to visit the practice and meet your cosmetic dentist for a no obligation consultation and to discover if you could truly have a white smile.
Our aim is to put you at ease and to ensure your visit to the practice is enjoyable. We want to build a good relationship with you right from the start, so that you will feel confident and be able to trust us with your dental care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does coconut oil pulling teeth whitening work?
As a leading tooth whitening clinic, we are often asked whether coconut oil whitens teeth.
The practice of coconut oil pulling dates back hundreds of years in Indian and South Asian medicine however, there is not enough scientific evidence to prove coconut oil pulling is beneficial to your oral health at all let alone being effective to whiten your teeth.
Natural coconut oil tooth whitening toothpastes may also pose a risk to the health of your teeth if they do not contain an optimal level of fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.
Does charcoal tooth whitening toothpaste work?
According to a leading charity, The Oral Health Foundation which has looked at new research relating to the effectiveness and safety of charcoal tooth whitening toothpastes has suggested that there is no robust evidence which currently supports the claims made by many of these increasingly popular products in terms of tooth whitening and, importantly, some products may be actually harmful as they do not contain a suitable level of fluoride to help prevent tooth decay.
In recent years, the use of activated charcoal whitening toothpaste has become increasingly popular, mainly due to celebrity endorsements. Activated charcoal has become a featured ‘health ingredient’ products including in lip balms, deodorants and face masks. However, many of the celebrity smiles we see are not as a direct result of simply using an activated charcoal toothpaste and are as a result of professional tooth whitening carried out at with a dentist.
How white will my teeth get?
Boutique Ultimate Teeth Whitening can whiten up to 16 shades, results vary but if used correctly all teeth will whiten dramatically.
Will they look too white?
No, natural teeth rarely look too white. Sometimes very white crowns can look wrong because they are made of porcelain.
Will my crowns, veneers or fillings change colour?
No, sometimes you may need to change some of these after whitening.
Is there pain or discomfort?
One side-effect from teeth whitening is that you may get some sensitivity, however your dentist will give you easy to use desensitising swabs to take home, which will work immediately. You will also receive a tube of Tooth Serum toothpaste to brush with, while you wait for your trays, this also helps with sensitivity.
How long does it take?
Tooth whitening takes an average of 3-4 weeks
How long does Teeth whitening last?
Results can last indefinitely with some very simple maintenance, wearing the trays for 1 night every other month.
Is it safe?
Professional whitening of teeth is a very safe procedure, provided it is under the supervision of trained dentists.
Glen Dental offer teeth whitening services to to patients from Oadby, Wigston, Kibworth, Great Glen, Leicester, Market Harborough, and Oakham.
How much does teeth whitening cost?
The costs of teeth whitening vary depending on the type of teeth whitening treatment you have and the teeth whitening kit used. A tooth whitening consultation is free, airflow stain removal (a quick way to remove surface stains and make your teeth look whiter) is from £97 and Boutique home teeth whitening costs from £399.
How does teeth whitening work?
Teeth whitening works with an active ingredient which is either hydrogen or carbamide peroxide. The peroxide releases oxygen which react with the discoloured molecules which make your teeth look dark. As this reaction happens the bonds which hold the dark molecules together are broken down by the oxygen with the result that your teeth look whiter.
Which teeth whitening kit is the best?
Because there are multiple ways to whiten your teeth, from simple things such as whitening toothpaste to air abrasion to home whitening it depends upon the result you are looking for as to which whitening kit is best. Air abrasion can have an immediate effect, home teeth whitening takes approximately 3-4 weeks and whitening your teeth with a whitening toothpaste can take considerably longer. Our advice is to decide how white you want your teeth and how long you want the process to take and then have a discussion with your dentist about which teeth whitening kit is best for you.
SUCCESS STORIES
"I’ve recently had my teeth whitening done by Lina, the results are amazing and I can’t stop smiling. Lina and the rest of the staff are so lovely and welcoming, they gave me lots of information about the procedure before I had it done and answered any questions I had. Would definitely recommend this dental clinic."
PW, Leicester"I have recently become a member of Glen Dental, after having a chip in my front tooth. All experiences so far have been very good. With speedy turn arounds. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to switch practices or who are not currently at a practice. Ricky is very professional along with all of the staff being very friendly, which helps make that daunting dentist visit a lot more pleasant."
JS, Market Harborough“Lina has helped to restore my faith in dentists, her calm and gentle approach has helped me to achieve the smile that I have longed for.”
IP, Leicester“I am a nervous patient and I have always found Glen Dental and all the staff there to be very sensitive to my fears. They are very reassuring and kind and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.”
FW, Kibworth"I'm a new patient to the practice and chose Glen Dental following various consultations at other practices. Ricky Patel was my dentist.
This was my first treatment at Glen Dental and the experience was all round very comfortable and felt minimally invasive. Ricky took his time with the treatment and was very meticulous with the great results coming through, which I'm very happy with. The composite bonding really did transform my teeth- a look and feel and I'm very happy with the outcome- brilliant!
The clinic was very comfortable with friendly staff with a clean environment. From my prior experiences at dentists, I have found it to be uncomfortable and wanting to leave as soon as possible but this was not the case with Ricky at Glen Dental. Great practice!"
"Like a lot of people I'm not overjoyed at going to the dentist and I'd had a particularly difficult experience at my previous surgery so I was very anxious.
From the very first phone call with the genuine and understanding receptionist to the initial review with the dentist and the eventual filling I needed, everything was calm and reassuring.
The waiting room doesn't smell or sound like a traditional dentist which was a huge relief. The dentist patiently listened to my concerns and made every effort to make it easier for me.
I was prepared for some pain but the system they use delivered the anaesthetic effectively and I honestly felt nothing other than a single sharp scratch and the mild vibration of the drill. It was a revelation!
I would highly recommend to anyone who is feeling anxious about treatment. Their fees are clearly stated and they consult with you about each item of the treatment plan they suggest so no nasty surprises when you come to pay. A positive experience from start to finish."
"Wonderful friendly staff, helped me get back on top of my dental hygiene. Very informative through each appointment.I would highly recommend have done a wonderful job. Thanks again for the great service Glen Dental"
TC, Great Glen"After not being to a dentist since 2017 and having some gum issues I decided to get booked for a consultation here. I was so nervous but from the first phonecall I felt at ease with them. Jo is a diamond and so welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. She has a personal touch that really makes you feel comfortable in these situations.
Ricky is my dentist and him and his lovely assistant really made me feel so much calmer and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of my deep cleaning. I’m now on a dental plan with them and can already notice a huge difference in my gums firming back up!
I highly recommended this dentist and their plan, and I’ve already recommended to my family who are looking to move over this way. Thank you so much, I’m really pleased I came here and I no longer feel scared about going to the dentist which I never thought I’d say!"
