Question:
Will porcelain veneers stain with coffee, tea, ciggaretts and root beer?
I am not a candidate for bleaching for many reasons. I need to know if porcelain veneers ( a huge investment) can stand the test of time and continue to be white and stain free while still smoking and drinking coffee and tea.
Answers:
No, porcelain veneers will not change color. The color you and your dentist choose will be the color of your veneers forever. You're investing a large sum of money into your mouth and you need protect that investment. If you smoke and drink a lot of coffee you may get slight surface staining, but that can easily be removed with regular cleanings from your hygienist. As for longevity, you should be a little more careful about eating certain foods. Don't crack sunflower seeds or rip beef jerky with your veneers. If something does break or crack most dentists and their labs will give a 5 year warranty.
