How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?

When we do the whitening process, the whitening process is a temporary product. Basically, meaning that once you whiten your teeth, because we have to eat and any type of food that we eat, has coloring in them and so slowly our teeth will discolor. And so you do need to do touch ups. But most part, if you do the whitening correctly, step by step, the color that you achieve should maintain for a minimum at least a year to two years. And then thereafter in between that time or even at that one year, two year junction, you might need to do the touch up, which most dentists sell in there office. There very simple, they're just one syringe or two syringes of gel. And then you apply to your custom tray and you wear it for an hour, probably one time, two times or three time to get that color back. You don't want to let it go until it becomes so dark, then you have to start the whole process over. If you see some stains in between, just do a touch up and that's all you need to do. It is a temporary product. Temporary end product but the good thing is you can gage the color that you like and if you need to make it more then you whiten it more. But remember you don't want to over due it because if the color stays where it is after so many treatments, then that means your teeth just can't take it anymore. Or you have to go to your dentist. They can do a different type of product, where it's a higher concentration but is more controlled and is done in the office. But even with those you got to be careful to know your enamel can handle that higher concentration. And that's where your dentist will tell you if it's doable.
