How Long Will Tooth Whitening Results Last?

Tooth whitening is a highly effective means of brightening teeth several shades without removing any of the tooth’s enamel. Tooth whitening lightens stains and discoloration on natural teeth only and does not affect the color of any porcelain restorations such as bridges, crowns or veneers. People often opt for in-office tooth whitening because over-the-counter products offer less than dazzling results that do not last.

At Smiles By Sands in Studio City, California, we perform advanced Zoom! Teeth whitening to restore teeth to their whitest and brightest. First, we will assess your teeth to make sure there are no pressing dental issues that require attention prior to whitening. Once we determine you are a good candidate for the Zoom! process, you will be enjoying more beautiful, whiter teeth in about an hour.

For some individuals, whitening can last several years. Factors which will shorten your bright white results are:
• Foods and drinks that stain, such as black tea, red wine and blackberries
• Smoking or chewing tobacco
• Poor dental hygiene

Excellent home care, regular check-ups, and regular professional cleaning are all essential for maintaining your whitening results.

Your Smiles By Sands dentist offers an easy-to-use follow-up kit, so you can maintain your beautiful new smile when it is convenient for you. If you prefer to perform a comprehensive whitening treatment at home, Smiles By Sands offer the Nite-White kit for potent at-home whitening with no in-office procedure. Please call or email our cosmetic dentistry office to learn more about how you can successfully whiten your teeth.
