No teeth whitening treatment is permanent; periodic touch-ups are necessary to maintain your desired shade over time. This is due to the natural staining that occurs from daily habits such as eating and drinking certain foods and beverages, including coffee, tea, and red wine.

How long your whitening results last depends on your individual lifestyle and oral hygiene habits. Some people may need to do a touch-up once a month for one to three days to maintain their preferred shade, while others may only require touch-ups every six months. The frequency of maintenance varies from person to person.

To prolong your whitening results, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene, limit exposure to staining substances, and use your custom whitening trays as needed for touch-ups.
