Welcome
The Boutique Whitening Patient Resource Centre has been created to provide clear, trustworthy information for patients considering or already undertaking professional teeth whitening. All whitening treatments must be prescribed and supervised by a registered dental professional. This page is designed to guide you before, during, and after your whitening journey.
Before Whitening
Dental Assessment
Your whitening journey begins with a consultation. Your dentist will check the health of your teeth and gums to ensure whitening is safe and suitable for you.
Shade Recording
A starting tooth shade is recorded. This allows your dentist to track changes over time and helps set realistic expectations.
Treatment Limitations
Crowns, veneers, and fillings do not change colour during whitening. Your dentist may discuss replacement or adjustment if shade matching becomes important.
Individual Results
Whitening results vary depending on your natural tooth structure, lifestyle, and commitment to the prescribed plan. Your dentist will guide you on what is realistic in your case.
During Whitening
Following Instructions
Always follow your dentist’s instructions for use. Each whitening system is prescribed to your specific needs.
Treatment Experience
Some patients notice mild, temporary sensitivity. This is a normal part of the whitening process and usually settles quickly.
Consistency Matters
Just like building fitness takes time, whitening works best when used regularly for the prescribed duration. Skipping sessions may reduce effectiveness.
After Whitening
Maintaining Your New Smile
Lifestyle choices such as smoking, red wine, tea, and coffee can contribute to staining. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits help maintain results.
Top-Up Whitening
Your dentist may recommend occasional whitening top-ups to maintain brightness. This is always tailored to your individual needs.
Managing Sensitivity
If you experience sensitivity, your dentist may suggest desensitising toothpaste or specific gels to improve comfort.
Safety & Professional Oversight
Teeth whitening should only be performed under the supervision of a registered dental professional. Products offered outside a dental practice — such as in beauty salons, shopping centres, or online — are not regulated in the same way and may risk damage to your teeth and gums.
With Boutique Whitening, you are receiving a dentist-prescribed, professional system supported by clinical science and ongoing care.
Ongoing Support
Your dentist is your partner throughout your whitening journey. If you have questions, experience sensitivity, or wish to maintain results in the future, contact your dental practice for guidance.
