Whitening options and other dental services

Official material names Boutique home whitening using 10% or 16% carbamide peroxide, with a dental assessment, scan for bespoke trays and fitting/instruction appointment. The fee page describes impressions rather than a scan, so confirm the current tray-making process. Exact gel quantity, both-arch coverage and assessment inclusion in the fee are not stated.

Other service categories in the checked practice material: General dentist · Cosmetic dentistry · Dental hygienist · Dental implants · Veneers · Teeth straightening. Confirm the specific treatment and clinician directly.

Published prices: what does whitening cost?

Undated official fees checked 2 November 2026. The £310 whitening line is consistent on the whitening and fee pages, but the complete initial assessment/gel/review package needs confirmation. Membership does not reduce this whitening fee. Fee source ↗

Finance and payment plans

The FAQ advertises 0% finance up to two years for treatment plans of at least £500, or up to five years at 9.9% APR. The fee page names Tabeo for 0% APR finance. The £310 standalone whitening price is below the stated £500 minimum; eligibility for any combined plan must be confirmed. Age, residency, employment and credit-assessment requirements were not verified; approval is required.

A routine care membership and a credit agreement are different products. Ask what is included, the total repayable amount, any deposit and cancellation terms. Do not assume a plan includes cosmetic treatment.
