How long does teeth whitening last?

How long you can maintain your whitened teeth will depend on several unique and individual factors. However most people find that after successful whitening, teeth rarely return to their once deeply stained state.

If your discoloration is due to over-consumption of tea, coffee, wine or tobacco products etc. - and you do not change your behavior, then it is likely that the whitening effect will not last as long. Additionally, teeth may require touch-ups from time to time
In case your teeth are genetically stained or the stains are caused by serious illness, you may need a teeth whitening treatment every few years. Normally, teeth whitening administered or prescribed by your dentist can last from 5 to 7 years.

Abdallah-
Ceramic implants will not whiten during the process. I have 1 ceramic implant that I had made 2 shades whiter than my other teeth, knowing that I was going to have my teeth whitened. It worked out perfectly.

I had mine done yesterday through a 'living social' deal at a Harley Street cinic in London for £99....I am really pleased. No pain, slight sensitivity and I have to follow the 'white food diet' for 48 hours to avoid staining (pores are open and they take 48 hours to re seal) Avoid high levels of bleach and ASK before you have it done. Mine was 16% a great result. One lade sat with me had another product that was 22% bleach - her gums were wrecked and she was very sore. I feel great today and my teeth look fab....all y friends want to follow suit. OH and the treatment was done in 3 stages. I felt sone sensitivity during session 3 and stopped....Really important to stop when you start feeling stuff...it avoids the horrible nasty result of over sore and sensitive teeth. Jules
