Teeth whitening Coatbridge
If your teeth are feeling a bit dull or stained, whitening can gently lift the colour and bring back a fresher, brighter look. At our Coatbridge practice, we use Boutique Whitening, a trusted, dentist-recommended system you can use in the comfort of your own home.
What is Boutique Whitening?
Boutique Whitening is a professional home whitening kit, only available from dentists. It uses custom-made trays and a gentle whitening gel that’s safe for your teeth and gums.
You’ll wear the trays either during the day or overnight, depending on what suits you best. The gel gradually brightens your smile over 10–14 days, with noticeable results and no harsh sensitivity.
- Whiten at home, on your schedule
- Gentle on teeth and gums
- Custom trays for a precise fit
- Trusted results with professional support
- Top-ups available if you want a refresh later on
Thinking about whitening?
Everyone’s teeth pick up stains over time—it’s completely normal. You might think about whitening if:
- Your smile feels a bit dull in photos
- You’re a tea, coffee, or red wine lover
- You’ve got an event coming up (like a wedding or graduation)
- You’ve finished straightening your teeth and want the final polish
- You just want a little refresh and confidence boost
There’s no “right” time—it’s about what feels good for you. We’re here to help you decide if it’s the right step.
