Porcelain veneers are typically resistant to staining and discoloration, but they can still become discolored over time if they are exposed to certain substances. For example, if you regularly consume dark-colored foods or beverages such as coffee, tea, or red wine, your veneers may become stained or discolored over time. Smoking or using tobacco products can also cause veneers to become discolored.
Composite resin veneers are more prone to staining and discoloration than porcelain veneers, and may require more frequent replacement or maintenance.
To help prevent staining or discoloration of veneers, it’s important to practice good oral hygiene and avoid consuming substances that can stain teeth or veneers. If staining does occur, your dentist may be able to polish the veneers to remove the discoloration, or replace them if necessary.
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can also help prevent staining and discoloration of veneers by removing surface stains and plaque build-up that can dull the appearance of the veneers.
