I'm interested in teeth whitening. I wonder if anybody knows how long the teeth whitening will last?

Thanks!

The effects of the teeth whitening should last for 1 to 3 years. Daily brushing and flossing will assist in maintaining the whiteness. The duration of the whiteness will also depend on your personal habits. Drinking red wine, tea, coffee or smoking will shorten the life of the new whiteness. You may want to conduct a re-treatment in the future. This should not be as costly and time consuming as the original whitening procedure as you will already have the custom made trays.

Hope that helps!

It is almost impossible to avoid foods that stain, so the whitening will not last forever.  Your teeth will, however, always be whiter than they would have been if you had not whitened them.
Periodic touchups are necessary, because, quite frankly, white teeth are addictive!  You get used to having a gorgeous white smile, and the slightest fading  motivates you to do a touch-up.  So custom trays are essential for maintenance.
Sincerely,
Dr. Matthew Bayne, DDS

HI, the effects of teeth whitening stay for a pretty long time. Cheap teeth whitening (http://www.medicaltourismco.com/dentistry/teeth-whitening-abroad.php) abroad is much lighter on your pocket.

The average cost in the area I work in is $500-800 and that includes take home trays to touch up. It will last a long time, but all whitening needs to be maintained. Depends on your habits-coffee, tea, soda, staining foods. The results vary, can be great for some not so great for others, depends on what color you are starting with.

A major chunk of your hard earned bucks goes into looking your best so why shouldn't a part of that be invested in brightening your smile. Smiles definitely have an influence on our quality of life. People who smile brightly showing their teeth are generally presumed to be happier and friendlier than those who don't show their teeth. Why would you want to hide your teeth if you are confident about them?It would amount to living in ignorance if you allow that colored set of teeth to knock out the color in your life.

Those tooth-lightening effects that a person achieves can last somewhat indefinitely but in most cases a "satisfactory" shade change is typically found to last on the order of one to three years.

It really depends on your daily oral procedures after the whitening treatment. It usually lasts 6 months or so.

The effects of teeth whitening will last depending on your diet and lifestyle, especially if you smoke, or drink coffee, tea, and other teeth staining foods. Your dentist can offer teeth whitening kits for retouching to maintain the brightness of your teeth.

My office offers a teeth whitening for life program to help them keep their newly whitened teeth bright. Patients receive a free set of bleaching gels every 6-months for retouching for life!

I agree that the duration largely depends on your habit of eating. Its almost impossible to avoid coffee, tea or other teeth staining food just make sure to brush and floss regularly to maintain the whiteness of your teeth.
