Dental cleaning, or prophylaxis, involves the removal of tartar (dental calculus) and dental plaque by the dentist. On the other hand, whitening aims to lighten the entire healthy tooth, as well as address discoloration caused by stains from wine and coffee.
The longevity of whitening varies based on personal habits. Regular consumption of coffee, red wine, dark soft drinks, and smoking can shorten the lifespan of whitening results. However, you can schedule touch-up appointments periodically to maintain your whitening effects over time.
