Teeth Whitening
Brighten your smile at home with Boutique Whitening from Gold’s Place Dental in Cullompton, welcoming patients near Exeter and Tiverton.
A brighter smile, comfortably achieved at home
Teeth can naturally become darker or stained over time due to food, drinks, smoking and the ageing process. Professional teeth whitening offers a safe and effective way to brighten your natural teeth and refresh your smile without altering their shape.
Gold’s Place Dental provides Boutique Whitening home kits, prescribed and supervised by our dental team. Your treatment is tailored to your teeth and desired result, allowing you to whiten your smile conveniently at home. We welcome patients from Cullompton and across Mid Devon, including Exeter and Tiverton.
We examine your teeth and gums, discuss your goals and ensure professional whitening is suitable for your smile.
Custom-made whitening trays and Boutique Whitening gel are provided, along with clear instructions from your dental team.
Wear your trays as directed and gradually brighten your smile from the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Professional whitening that fits around you
Boutique Whitening combines the convenience of home treatment with the reassurance of professional dental supervision. Your custom-made trays are designed to fit closely and distribute the whitening gel evenly across your teeth.
You can complete your treatment around your usual routine while controlling the process gradually. Our team will explain how to use and care for your trays, how much gel to apply and what to do if you experience temporary sensitivity. Once you have achieved your preferred shade, you can retain your trays for future top-ups following your dentist’s advice.
Whitening only changes the colour of natural tooth enamel, so existing fillings, crowns, veneers and bridges will not become lighter. We will assess these during your consultation and explain how they may affect your final result.

At-home whitening kits provided by dentists offer several advantages with over-the-counter (OTC) products:
- Customisation: Custom-made trays ensure better contact with teeth and more uniform whitening, unlike OTC products which use generic sizes.
- Effectiveness: Dentist-provided kits contain stronger whitening agents, leading to more noticeable and faster results.
- Safety: Professional guidance minimizes the risk of gum irritation, tooth sensitivity, and uneven whitening.
- Monitoring: Your dentist can monitor your progress and make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary, ensuring optimal results.
Teeth whitening is generally safe, but some side effects and risks include:
- Tooth Sensitivity: This is the most common side effect, typically temporary. Using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth before and after treatment can help reduce sensitivity.
- Gum Irritation: Custom-fitted trays reduce the risk of gel contact with gums, but if irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your dentist.
- Uneven Whitening: Teeth with varying levels of staining may whiten at different rates. Professional supervision helps ensure more uniform results.
- Overuse: Over-whitening can damage enamel. Follow your dentist’s instructions and avoid overuse of whitening products.
To minimise risks, always follow your dentist’s recommendations and report any concerns or side effects promptly for professional advice and adjustments.
