Teeth whitening is a popular practice, as it helps to eliminate stains, reduce yellowing, and brighten the shade of the teeth, thus allowing for a more appealing smile. A lot of people explore teeth whitening options that are sold at the store because they are affordable and easy. However, what is known to produce better results is teeth whitening from a dentist, whether it be take-home trays or in-office treatment. Both options involve the use of stronger ingredients, which help tackle the stains more efficiently.
One question that comes along with any type of teeth whitening is how long the results will last, which is a valid concern. Keep reading to find out more!
Below is a quick overview outlining how long teeth whitening from the dentist lasts. This review covers both teeth whitening in-office and take-home trays that are provided by the dentist.
Teeth whitening is known to be most effective when done by a dentist in-office. The solution that they have access to is a lot stronger than any product in-store. Additionally, dentists have access to tools and instruments that enhance these solutions, which makes the results better and longer-lasting.
Depending on the severity of the stains, most patients experience results that last for up to a year. However, if the stains are extremely severe, then it may take multiple rounds of teeth whitening to get to the desired shade. Therefore, the results of the initial treatment may not necessarily matter. In this case, the end results after multiple treatments may also last around a year.
Take-home teeth whitening trays give the patient more control when it comes to the treatment process. However, because the treatment is done at home, patients should expect the process to take longer. Typically, teeth whitening trays are used multiple times over the span of a couple of weeks.
As far as how long the results from take-home trays last, the answer varies for everyone. In general, the results will last for six to eight months. In some scenarios, the results may last for up to a year.
In order to make the results last longer, dentists recommend being disciplined with the teeth whitening trays. Discipline means wearing the trays for the entire allotted time, as well as applying the appropriate amount of solution. Additionally, it is highly advised to avoid drinking heavily dyed beverages immediately after the treatment.
Ultimately, the more that oral hygiene is practiced and the less that dyed products are consumed, the longer the results will last. When looking for more information on teeth whitening, it is best to consult with a dentist directly. The dentist can evaluate the patient's staining to determine what type of whitening is best, whether it be an in-office treatment or take-home trays. Additionally, the dentist can provide specific details on how long the results will last. To find out more or to get scheduled for a consultation appointment, reach out today.
