Common conclusions

You are likely to be on a stage of fixing your result now. You may need to have individual trays for your teeth to put some whitening gel inside and leave them on your teeth overnight. Such period lasts 1-2 weeks. In this case, your result may probably stay with you for 9-12 months without having touch-ups. Remember to level your oral hygiene quality and be careful with stained foods. Tea, coffee or red wine and tobacco can decrease the brightness and make your teeth look of a darker shade than you had before.

Having your teeth bleached about half a year ago you may have rather stable effect that may last as much again. However, make sure you have not skipped the home-whitening step after your main office bleaching procedure. If skipped, try using a touch-up procedure. That is not a full-length one, but you can get more clear and stable result. Remember to level your oral hygiene quality and be careful with stained foods. Tea, coffee or red wine and tobacco can decrease the brightness and make your teeth look of a darker shade than you had before that is why it is reasonable to reduce the intake of such products or be attentive to changes.

You are likely to have a refreshing procedure if you still have a desire of a whiter smile. Refreshing is almost the same procedure at your dental office as you have already experienced. After refreshing your teeth may stay bright within 1-2 years more. You may also use touch-ups at home with dental trays to keep the shade. Remember to level your oral hygiene quality and be careful with stained foods. Tea, coffee or red wine and tobacco can decrease the brightness and make your teeth look of a darker shade than you had before that is why it is reasonable to reduce the intake of such products or be attentive to changes.

It seems your result is now stable since you have experienced enough warrantable professional procedures since your dentine pigment chains are neutralized. You may sometimes use home touch-ups if needed. Do it no more than 1-2 times a year to remove staining. Remember to visit your regular dental cleaning procedures as well as leveling your oral hygiene quality. You should also be careful with stained foods. Tea, coffee or red wine and tobacco can decrease the brightness and make your teeth look of a darker shade than you had before that is why it is reasonable to reduce the intake of such products or be attentive to changes.

Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine how long ago your professional office whitening was and suggest any terms for the effect. Please, contact your dentist for more information.
