How long does teeth whitening last?

Teeth whitening is the process of enhancing your teeth’s natural shade to a brighter one. How long the effects last will depend on a number of factors, including what has caused the teeth to discolor in the first place, which whitening treatment you choose, and your maintenance routine post-treatment.

Teeth whitening done using scientifically approved methods and products will make your teeth whiter and brighter to an extent where their brightness may fade a little over time; but they will never go back to their original shade.

You can  maintain the results for a  longer time if you avoid foods and beverages like tea, coffee and red wine which tend to stain your teeth. Personal hygiene plays a very important role. Not keeping your teeth clean will result in breakdown, as well as tooth discoloration.

If you want to maintain your perfect whites for a longer period, then taking care of your teeth is a must, eat healthy foods that don’t stain, and abstain from smoking and consuming all forms of tobacco.

Teeth whitening can only lighten your existing tooth color. Moreover, it only works on natural teeth. It will not work on any type of false teeth such as dentures, crowns, and veneers.

Good oral hygiene will prevent teeth staining, keep your teeth healthy to prolong the effect of teeth whitening.
