Teeth Whitening in Dagenham
Professional Teeth Whitening at Becontree Dental Studio
At Becontree Dental Studio, we offer professional teeth whitening in Dagenham to help patients achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
Our whitening treatments include Boutique Whitening, a professional dentist-supervised whitening system designed to lighten the natural shade of your teeth.
For suitable patients with a single discoloured tooth, particularly following root canal treatment, we may also recommend internal tooth whitening.
Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums, discuss your expectations and recommend the most appropriate whitening option for your smile.
Boutique Teeth Whitening
Boutique Whitening is a professional teeth whitening system designed to gradually lighten the natural colour of your teeth.
Following a dental assessment, custom-made whitening trays and professional whitening gel are provided for use at home according to your dentist’s instructions.
This allows patients to whiten their teeth conveniently, with the treatment monitored by their dental team. Results vary depending on the original tooth shade, lifestyle and individual response to whitening.
Internal Tooth Whitening
Sometimes a single tooth becomes darker than the surrounding teeth, particularly following root canal treatment.
Internal tooth whitening is a treatment that may be suitable for certain root-treated teeth. Unlike conventional whitening, which acts on the external surfaces of teeth, internal whitening involves carefully placing whitening material inside the affected tooth.
Your dentist will assess the tooth, including the quality of its existing root canal treatment, before determining whether internal whitening is appropriate.
The aim is to improve the appearance of the discoloured tooth while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.

From your first consultation to your final restoration, we’ll guide you through every stage.

Shade Assessment & Impressions
We record your starting tooth shade and take impressions or digital scans to create custom-fitted whitening trays.
03
Your Boutique Whitening Kit
You’ll receive your custom trays, professional whitening gel and instructions on how to use them safely at home.

Whitening at Home
You’ll wear your whitening trays according to your dentist’s instructions. Treatment duration varies depending on the prescribed system and your desired result.

Teeth Whitening FAQs
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Professional teeth whitening is generally safe when prescribed and supervised by a registered dental professional following an appropriate dental assessment. Temporary sensitivity or gum irritation can occur.
How long does Boutique Whitening take?
Boutique Whitening uses custom-made trays and professional whitening gel at home. The treatment duration depends on the prescribed system and your individual response. Your dentist will provide instructions specific to your treatment.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Results vary depending on diet, smoking, oral hygiene and other factors. Occasional top-up whitening may help maintain your results.
Can a root canal-treated tooth be whitened?
Yes, internal tooth whitening may be suitable for certain discoloured root-treated teeth. Your dentist will assess the tooth and its root canal filling before recommending treatment.
Will teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers or fillings?
Whitening gels lighten natural tooth structure but do not change the colour of existing crowns, veneers or fillings. These restorations may need to be reviewed after whitening if there is a noticeable shade difference.
How much does teeth whitening cost at Becontree Dental Studio?
Boutique Teeth Whitening costs £380. Internal Tooth Whitening costs £250 per tooth. Your dentist will confirm suitability and discuss any additional treatment costs before proceeding.
