How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
Whitening results are not permanent. What influences how long they hold, and how patients maintain them.
The result of professional teeth whitening is not permanent because natural teeth can gradually become stained again. How long a brighter shade remains visible varies between patients and is influenced by factors such as coffee, tea, dark-colored foods, tobacco use, oral hygiene, and the original cause of discoloration.
Good dental hygiene and appropriate maintenance can help patients preserve their whitening result for longer. Some patients may eventually consider professional maintenance or touch-up whitening after appropriate dental assessment.
It is also important to remember that crowns, veneers, fillings, and other restorations do not respond to whitening like natural enamel. This may affect treatment planning when restorations are visible within the smile.
