Professional Teeth Whitening in London
Award-winning Boutique Whitening from £250. Dentist-prescribed, safe and legal, with visible results in 2–3 weeks.
Whitening prices in London vary hugely, and it’s offered by dentists, beauty salons and online kits alike. In the UK, effective teeth whitening is only safe and legal when a registered dental professional prescribes and supervises it. At Toothi, our dentist-led clinic in Edgware, North London, Dr Ali prescribes the award-winning Boutique Whitening system with custom-made trays, at prices worth the short trip up the Northern line.
Whitening options at Toothi
Power Whitening: £250
A faster in-practice whitening session for a quick, noticeable lift. Useful before a wedding, interview or big event, or to get home whitening off to a quicker start.
Home Whitening: £350
Custom trays made from a digital scan of your teeth, with professional Boutique gel worn overnight or 1–2 hours a day. Full results in 2–3 weeks, and you keep the trays for top-ups.
Why Londoners travel to Edgware for whitening
Teeth whitening in central London can cost a good deal more than in outer London, often for exactly the same dentist-prescribed systems. Toothi is in Edgware, North London (HA8), at the top of the Northern line: around 25 minutes from Camden Town and 35–40 minutes from King’s Cross by tube, with easy access from the M1, A41 and A406 and free parking nearby, which few central London clinics have. You get the same dentist-supervised Boutique Whitening, a clinician who examines your teeth first, and two simple prices: £250 for Power Whitening, £350 for Home Whitening. You can see everything we charge on our fee guide.
Is teeth whitening safe — and legal?
Yes, when it’s done through a dentist. UK law limits whitening products to a maximum of 6% hydrogen peroxide, and only registered dental professionals may legally provide them after examining your teeth. Beauty salons and online kits either break the law or use products too weak to make a real difference. Whitening isn’t suitable for under-18s, and we always check your teeth and gums are healthy first, because whitening over undiagnosed decay or gum disease causes problems. Some people get temporary sensitivity during treatment. It settles quickly, and we can adjust how often you wear the trays if needed.
What results can I expect?
Most patients lighten by several shades to a bright but natural-looking result. Results vary from person to person, depending on your starting shade and what caused the staining, and we’ll tell you what to expect at your assessment. They typically last from six months to two or three years depending on tea, coffee, red wine and smoking. Because you keep your custom trays, an occasional top-up with gel keeps them bright for a fraction of the original cost.

Whitening as part of a smile makeover
Whitening is often the first step in a bigger piece of cosmetic work. If you’re considering composite bonding to fix chips, gaps or uneven edges, we whiten first. Bonding resin doesn’t change colour, so we match it to your new shade. After teeth straightening, whitening is a sensible last step once your teeth are in their new positions. Live locally?

Teeth whitening in London FAQs
How much does teeth whitening cost in London?
Prices in London vary widely between clinics. At Toothi in Edgware, Power Whitening is £250 and Home Whitening with custom trays is £350, with a £55 examination first to confirm whitening is safe and right for your teeth.
Where is Toothi and how do I get there from central London?
We’re at 1 Handel Parade, Whitchurch Lane, Edgware HA8 6LD, a short walk from Edgware station at the top of the Northern line, around 25 minutes from Camden Town. There’s easy access by car from the M1, A41 and A406.
Is teeth whitening legal at a beauty salon in London?
No. In the UK, only registered dental professionals may legally provide effective whitening (up to 6% hydrogen peroxide), and only after examining your teeth. Salon and online products are either illegal, unsafe without a dental check, or too weak to work.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Typically from six months to two or three years, depending on diet and smoking. Because you keep your custom trays, occasional top-up gel keeps your smile bright without paying for treatment again.
Does whitening damage your enamel?
No. Dentist-supervised whitening at legal concentrations doesn’t soften or damage enamel. You may get some temporary sensitivity during treatment, and it settles quickly.
Will whitening work on crowns, veneers or bonding?
No. Restorations don’t change colour. That’s why we whiten first and colour-match any new bonding or veneers to your brighter shade afterwards.
How white will my teeth go?
It varies from person to person, but most people lighten by several shades and still look natural. We’ll tell you what to expect at your assessment, based on your current shade and what caused the staining.
