6 months
Many factors go into that answer. The more you do that causes staining the less it will last.
Varies with your habits. Smoking, red wine, and blue and red fruits have an impact.
It differs for each patient, but generally 3-6 months and longer for some.
It is very relative as females tend to do whitening more often than males The laser whitening (ZOOM) which we do I do not recommend doing it more often than three years and the touch up can be done based on the necessity.
People need to"touch up" the lightening. Some people wear their custom lightening trays 1 day a month, some 1 week a year. It partly depends on the original shade of your teeth and the shade you want.
There are many common factors in staining your teeth. Teeth begin to stain or discolor as soon as they are exposed to those local staining materials. Once the teeth are bleached to one's satisfaction occasional touchup bleaching such as once a week is helpful. Excessive beaching is very likely to cause the teeth to become sensitive and painful. Be patient and not expect an unreasonable outcome. Teeth become naturally darker from the inside as they age which will not be changed by bleaching. Bleach is only effective on the surface of the teeth.
Teeth bleaching varies from 1 to 3 weeks depending on your teeth and the solution used. It works much better after a cleaning.
