All of our whitening treatments are carried out using custom-made trays, allowing the process to be controlled carefully and the result to develop evenly over time. Teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to refresh how your teeth look.
At Optima Dental Care in Maidenhead, we offer professional whitening treatments that safely lift stains and reduce discolouration, helping your teeth look brighter without changing what makes them yours.
Whitening works by lifting stains from within the tooth, not just the surface.
The gel we use contains active ingredients (such as hydrogen peroxide) which release tiny oxygen molecules when applied.
These molecules move into the enamel and break apart the particles, causing discolouration, effectively lightening the tooth from the inside.
That’s why the result looks more natural than surface cleaning alone.
Whitening isn’t permanent, but it’s easy to maintain. We’ll show you how to:
We offer two professional whitening systems, depending on the result you’re looking for.
| Feature | Boutique Whitening | Enlighten Whitening |
| How it works | Custom trays worn at home for a couple of weeks | At-home whitening followed by a final in-practice session |
| Final result | Noticeable improvement, tailored to your starting shade | Guaranteed B1 shade (one of the lightest natural shades) |
| Sensitivity | Generally very mild, designed for comfort | Managed with a structured desensitising protocol |
| Longevity | Lasts well with occasional top-ups | Longer-lasting, with simple maintenance at home |
| Best suited for | Subtle, natural brightening | Patients wanting the lightest possible result |
| Cost | £** | Higher investment due to the guarantee and the in-clinic stage |
If you’re considering whitening but aren’t sure which option is right, a simple check-up is the best place to begin.
We offer private examinations from £30, which may include X-rays where clinically needed. From there, you’ll have a clear idea of what’s achievable and which approach makes the most sense.
