Do veneers stain?
The veneer itself is made of ceramic, so it rarely discolors from coffee, tea, and the like. However, the bonded margin between the tooth and the veneer, and the area along the gum line, can pick up stains over time. To reduce staining, we recommend 1) rinsing with water after drinking staining beverages, 2) regular scaling and checkups, and 3) quitting smoking. If staining along the margin becomes noticeably dark, it can sometimes be improved with polishing or the veneer may need to be remade, so please have it checked at your checkup.
