Guaranteed results
We use Enlighten Evolution teeth whitening and are accredited as an Enlighten Regional Centre of Excellence, which is something we are very proud of.
Enlighten has been labelled the most significant development in whitening practices in the last 20 years. It’s the only teeth whitening system that gives you guaranteed long-lasting whitening results and low sensitivity. Teeth whitening has been known historically to leave some patients with short-term pain.
Enlighten guarantees results for every patient regardless of age, lifestyle, diet or the starting colour of your teeth.
No pain, more gain
Enlighten's sensitivity and high gloss Tooth Serum repair paste fills in defects in the enamel surface, powerfully addressing tooth sensitivity, while producing a high gloss lustre. Teeth feel super smooth and sensitivity is a thing of the past.
Professional and trusted
Enlighten whitening treatment works straight through the enamel and does not harm the tooth surface. Our dentists have successfully treated hundreds of patients who wanted whiter teeth.

The whitening treatment I chose I am still amazed by to this day, by sleeping with some gel on my teeth for about a week, my teeth became a bright white. As someone who assumed I would have stained and yellow teeth for my whole life because I was born with an enamel deficiency on certain areas of my teeth, I cannot believe how white they became in such a short space of time.

Teeth whitening is performed by a bleaching agent being spread over your teeth, which has whitening properties in it. A laser is then shone onto your teeth so that the properties can be activated and the whitening can begin.
The cost of teeth whitening in the UK can vary from practice to practice. It also makes a difference whether you decide to have an in-person appointment or instead choose an at-home kit.
With the right care and routine hygiene, teeth whitening can last around 3 years. If you notice that the whitened shade is starting to fade, you might need to have the whitening topped up.
Make sure to avoid consuming drinks and food that will stain your teeth and brush twice a day, as well as flossing
Your best option for whitening your teeth is to visit your dentist and have the treatment done by a bleaching agent and lighting in a licensed practice like Pure Smiles. The effectiveness of these treatments is greater than at-home kits.
Teeth whitening strips can work but they won’t be as effective as going to a practice in-person to have a professional perform the treatment. You might notice a slight improvement in your shade of white with whitening strips, so depending on the extent of whitening you need, it could be an option for you.
The process of teeth whitening by appointment usually takes around an hour. Once the bleaching agent is applied, a special light will be shone on the teeth to activate the agent, which takes close to an hour.
There isn’t a lot of data to suggest that charcoal will contribute positively towards whiter teeth, even if some people believe it helps. You may have seen a range of toothpastes that contain charcoal, or other similar products, but you should be careful about purchasing these kinds of items.
We would advise that you are careful with the food you consume post-treatment, especially in the first 48 hours. Stay away from highly acidic foods and foods that you know will stain your teeth. Also, avoid sticky and especially hot food, this might detriment the success of your whitening.
When you visit a licensed facility, teeth whitening won’t hurt at all. Some at-home kits that are unadvisable to purchase might cause some discomfort, or even damage because they lack the requisite quality to perform what is needed.
Teeth whitening strips can damage your enamel, but booking an appointment with a professional facility so they can perform the process with a bleaching agent and lighting is far less likely to cause enamel harm.
Laser teeth whitening in the UK is not free. The treatment could cost you around £1,000, but this depends on what part of the country you are in and which dentist you visit. Book a consultation with Pure Smiles to find out our full range of costs.
