How To Keep a Bright Smile after Teeth Whitening
Cherrywood Dental • Feb 09, 2017
Teeth whitening offers incredible results – a brighter grin and a more confident self, all with just an hourlong session. But what about when those results wear off? You want your whitening treatment to last as long as possible so that you can reap the rewards. And the first step toward achieving a long-term dazzling grin is learning how to treat your teeth at home.
The best part? Most of these whitening-preserving tips will also help you keep your teeth and gums healthy. A strong and beautiful smile is the best of both worlds! Make sure to adopt these habits after you whiten, and get in touch if you have any questions about how to treat your newly bleached teeth.
Achieving Long-Term Whitening Results
How Long Can Teeth Whitening Really Last?
The answer is different depending on the treatment, patient, and their daily life. If you get professional whitening, it’s going to be more intense and therefore more effective and long-lasting. If you follow the tips we mentioned above, whitening results can actually last for years. Your enamel will remain stain-free and bright for many months to come.
If you choose to whiten at home, those results will be less noticeable and will also remain for a shorter amount of time. This is because home whitening kits can’t achieve the same effects as in-office treatment.
No matter which type of whitening you’re considering, get in touch before you begin. It’s always wise to consult with a dentist before whitening so that you can be sure you proceed safely. Contact us today!
