\"BeforeA professional teeth whitening<\/a> session can brighten your smile with several shades in just a single visit. This explains why so many people in and around Lake Mary, FL<\/b> visit the practice of Dr. Steven Hochfelder for state-of-the-art whitening treatment. It\u2019s effective, and the results can be quite dramatic.<\/p>\n

But how long will those results last? Can teeth still get stained after a professional bleaching procedure?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s offer some answers about discoloration after teeth whitening below. We\u2019ll mainly focus on having coffee and wine after whitening since both beverages are notorious for causing tooth discoloration.<\/p>\n

Do Teeth Still Stain After Whitening Treatment?<\/h2>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

During teeth whitening treatment, your tooth enamel is completely bleached. This helps whiten any stained portions of the tooth. In simple terms, the stain is not removed but instead bleached away.<\/p>\n

While a professional teeth whitening treatment is extremely effective at brightening the appearance of smiles, it does not protect tooth enamel from further stains or discoloration. If you smoke cigarettes, use chewing tobacco, or have certain food items, stains are bound to appear over time.<\/p>\n

Can I Still Drink Coffee and Wine?<\/h2>\n
