I Tried It and Loved It: An In-Office Teeth Whitening Session

Zoom teeth whitening results can last anywhere from six months to two years, and dentists will usually recommend touch-up sessions (or at home kits) to help maintain your results longer.

Note that after getting your teeth professionally whitened, it's super important to not drink or eat anything rich in color. A good rule of thumb, as prescribed by Dr. Chern, is to avoid anything that could stain a white t-shirt. This is because your teeth are especially receptive to absorbing color following any whitening. Avoiding these foods and drinks in general can help prolong your white teeth, as well. As for cost, you can expect to pay between $300 and $700 depending on your location and dentist's pricing.
