Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth chew through a wide variety of foods throughout their lives, and frequent exposure to dyes and pigments can eventually leave unsightly dental stains or discoloration. Dark and colorful foods and beverages like coffee, tea, cola, red wine, berries, and soy and barbeque sauce often leave stains that are extrinsic, meaning they are located on top of the enamel, or intrinsic, meaning they are located beneath the enamel. Teeth whitening from our Eugene office can treat these issues to improve a patient’s confidence in social and professional settings, which makes it a great choice for practically everyone.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Before and after teeth whitening

If you go to your local supermarket or pharmacy, you may notice a wide range of teeth whitening products for sale. Unfortunately, these products often deliver lackluster results if any, and they can even cause injuries due to poor manufacturing or user error. At the Smile Institute, we use customized Zoom! teeth whitening treatments to deliver remarkably noticeable results in brief timeframes.
