Is Teeth Whitening Permanent?
Teeth whitening lightens discoloration in the enamel using gels applied in a clinical setting. However, how long the result lasts varies from person to person.
Habits that cause staining, such as coffee, tea, and smoking, can cause the color to change more quickly after whitening.
Regular oral care and following recommended check-up intervals help maintain the whitening result for longer.
If you notice the color changing over time, you can discuss a touch-up session with your dentist.
