When you have your teeth whitened, the results are going to last anywhere between three and five years, depending upon what you eat and your lifestyle. Now what's going to happen is, you'll have your teeth whitened, and that's as white as they're going to be, once you have that shade. And they're going to begin to taper off slowly over that three to five years. However, you can have them touched up any way--any place--along the line. So if your teeth started at nice and white, and they start to get a little bit yellower, you don't have to wait the three to five years before you whiten them again and have them back to that wonderful color you look forward to.
