Professional Teeth Whitening and How Long Does It Last?
Looking to brighten up your smile fast? Aztech Family Dental offers professional teeth whitening treatments with real, lasting results. Dr. James Durfey helps clients achieve whiter teeth safely and comfortably. There is no guesswork trying to figure out confusing store kit instructions. Just professional results for the best smile of your life. Here’s how it works.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
It depends. Some people see results that stick around for six months, while others see results that last up to two years. How you take care of your teeth plays the biggest role. Good brushing habits, avoiding dark-staining drinks like red wine and coffee, and regular dental cleanings help.Â
What’s the Difference Between In-Office and At-Home Professional Teeth Whitening?
At-home treatments use custom-made trays designed only for your teeth. Add the pro-grade gel, wear them as directed, and see results in about a week or two.
Our in-office whitening treatment offers faster results. One visit. Brighter teeth in around an hour. Cost and convenience vary. Some folks prefer the speed of in-office treatments, while others appreciate the flexibility of home kits. Both deliver results.
Are There Any Side Effects to Professional Teeth Whitening?
Some people may feel some teeth sensitivity or gum irritation. This is normal and usually goes away after about a day or two. Dr. Durfey recommends products that can help should this happen. Professional whitening is still way safer than DIY kits because an expert dentist monitors your progress and knows your smile inside and out.
How Can I Make My Results Last As Long As Possible?
A few tips to keep your results longer include:
- Skipping or reducing dark drinks (tea, wine, coffee)
- Using a straw
- Brushing twice a day
- Flossing daily
- Visit us for regular cleanings
- Use whitening mouthwash or toothpaste to help with upkeep
Little habits go a long way to keep your smile fresh and bright.

Is Professional Teeth Whitening Right for Everyone?
Most people see great results with professional teeth whitening treatments. But it’s not for everyone. For those with dental work like bonding or crowns, those areas will not whiten.Â
Pregnant? Not the right time. Young kids? It’s best to wait. Teens? It depends. A quick visit with Dr. Durfey will tell you if whitening is best for your smile.
How Does the Cost of Professional Teeth Whitening Compare to Store-Bought Kits?
Store kits cost less, but they add up, as you may have to buy hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars’ worth before you see results. Professional whitening costs more upfront and delivers way more than even dozens of kits can offer.
What Should I Expect When I Visit Aztec Family Dental for Teeth Whitening Treatment?
We first clean and prep your teeth, then apply the whitening gel. A special light speeds things up. The entire process takes about one hour. There is no pain and no stress, and Dr. Durfey and his crew make you feel right at home. And you walk out the door with a brighter smile.
