Are you among the millions of people who like to start each day with a refreshing cup of coffee? This popular beverage is delicious, invigorating, and it is even associated with certain health benefits. But it is very dark in color, and it can easily stain teeth. What if you have dental veneers<\/a>? Can coffee discolor them as well? This blog post explains what you should know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Veneers Resist Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most dental veneers are made of porcelain, which is a durable and non-porous material. Due to its non-porous nature, pigments tend to slide right off it. That means veneers are incredibly resistant to stains! In fact, they are much less prone to discoloration over time than natural tooth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you drink coffee daily, your veneers are likely to maintain their original color for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cautions to Keep in Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though veneers are resistant <\/em>to stains, they are not invulnerable to them. They could stain if you overconsume dark-colored beverages or neglect proper oral hygiene. The risk is particularly high if you accidentally scratch your veneers with abrasive toothpaste or non-food objects; pigments can collect in those tiny scratches and negatively affect your smile\u2019s beauty. Also, some people find that stains develop along the edges of their veneers because the adhesive used to bind them to the teeth is less stain-resistant than the veneers themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
