Teeth Whitening
“Teeth whitening” is a cosmetic procedure performed to make the teeth appear whiter and brighter. This process aims to reduce or eliminate stains, discoloration, and yellowing on the teeth, achieving a healthier and more attractive appearance.
E-max veneers are made from a special ceramic material that is highly durable. After taking measurements of the teeth, they are prepared in the laboratory through a specialized process and then bonded to the teeth. Because E-max veneers closely resemble the appearance of natural teeth, they enhance the teeth in a way that looks natural.

Why do teeth lose their whiteness?
The loss of whiteness in teeth can be attributed to various factors.
Here are some common factors that contribute to the discoloration of teeth:
Diet: Beverages like coffee, tea, cola, wine, and other pigmented foods can lead to stains on the teeth.
Smoking: Smoking can cause yellowing and staining of the teeth.
Aging: As individuals age, the enamel on the teeth thins, and the underlying yellowish dentin layer becomes more prominent.
Dental Injuries: Dental injuries, teeth grinding, or cracking can also result in changes in color.
Medications: Certain antibiotics, painkillers, and antihistamines can cause changes in tooth color.
Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing, leading to plaque buildup and gum diseases, can cause changes in tooth color.
Can everyone undergo teeth whitening?
Not everyone is eligible for teeth whitening.
For teeth whitening to be performed, it is essential for the teeth to be healthy. A dentist can assess your oral health and determine whether teeth whitening is suitable for you by examining your teeth and evaluating your oral health condition.
Teeth whitening is generally not recommended for individuals under the age of 16. This age group is not advised for teeth whitening because the enamel of their teeth may not be fully developed, potentially causing damage during the whitening process.
Additionally, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid teeth whitening. This is because there is insufficient information about the effects of the chemicals used in the whitening process, and they could potentially harm the baby.
Teeth whitening is also not recommended for individuals with tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. Therefore, it is important to consult with your dentist before undergoing teeth whitening to determine whether your teeth are suitable for the procedure.
How long does the effect of whitening last?
The effect of teeth whitening varies from person to person and can also be influenced by post-treatment care and lifestyle factors.
After the whitening procedure, the color of your teeth may gradually darken over time. To prevent teeth from darkening, quit smoking, avoid excessive consumption of coffee, tea, and wine, and maintain good oral hygiene. Additionally, ensure regular dental check-up appointments as recommended by your dentist to maintain the health of your teeth and perform the necessary care to preserve their whiteness.
