Porcelain veneers are a popular way to improve your smile by fixing issues like discoloration, chips, or gaps. At King Street Dental Centre, we use advanced methods to create natural-looking veneers that enhance your appearance. A common question we hear is, “Do porcelain veneers stain?” While they resist stains very well, taking care of them is key to keeping them looking great.
Do Porcelain Veneers Stain?
One big advantage of porcelain veneers is that they resist staining much better than natural teeth. Unlike real teeth, which have tiny pores that can soak up stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking, veneers are smooth and non-porous. This makes them less likely to stain over time.
However, the teeth around your veneers can still get discolored. To keep your smile uniform and bright, good oral care and regular cleanings at King Street Dental Centre are essential.
Tips to Keep Your Veneers Bright
Here’s how to care for your veneers so they stay stunning:
- Brush and Floss Daily: Good oral hygiene keeps your veneers and surrounding teeth clean and healthy. Regular dental cleanings are also a must.
- Limit Staining Foods and Drinks: While veneers resist stains, the natural teeth around them can still discolor. Use a straw for drinks like coffee or tea to reduce contact with your teeth.
- Avoid Smoking: Smoking can stain your natural teeth and create a contrast with your veneers. Quitting can help keep your smile consistent and bright.
What to Do About Staining
If you notice discoloration in your natural teeth or feel your smile isn’t as bright, professional cleaning or whitening can help. Our dentists at King Street Dental Centre will make sure your veneers and teeth look uniform and beautiful.
