How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
In this video, Dr. JoEllen Havron explains how lifestyle habits affect teeth whitening results and the best ways to maintain a bright smile. Schedule an appointment at Riviera Dental Care to explore whitening options and keep your smile looking its best.
The longevity of teeth whitening results depends on lifestyle habits and oral care. Factors such as smoking, coffee, tea, red wine, and other stain-causing foods and drinks can lead to discoloration over time. Since teeth are naturally porous, they will gradually absorb stains again if these habits continue.
For long-term maintenance, take-home whitening trays can be beneficial. They allow for periodic touch-ups, helping to maintain a brighter smile while still enjoying the foods and beverages you love. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene also help extend the results of whitening treatments.
