Teeth whitening isn’t permanent — but with good habits, your results can last 6 months to 2 years. The exact duration depends on your lifestyle, whitening method, and oral hygiene.
⏳ Typical Whitening Lifespan
- In-office whitening: 1 to 2 years with good maintenance
- Custom at-home trays: 6 to 12 months
- Over-the-counter strips: 1 to 3 months
✅ How to Keep Your Teeth White Longer
- Avoid staining foods/drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, cola)
- Brush and floss daily
- Rinse after meals and use a straw when possible
- Schedule touch-up whitening every 6–12 months
- Get regular cleanings to remove surface stains
