Dear Terry,<\/p>\n

Porcelain veneers are nice because they can not only make your smile more beautiful, but they are pretty stain resistant.\u00a0 Teeth whitening<\/a> is not needed or suggested when you have porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n

So why are there stains on your porcelain veneers?<\/h4>\n

There is a glaze that is applied to your new porcelain veneers when they are made. The glaze determines the shine of your teeth so they\u00a0look natural, not dull.\u00a0 That glaze is also a big factor in the stain resistance of your veneers. Your teeth shouldn’t stain unless that glaze is somehow compromised. This can happen if your dentist uses a power polishing machine at the office or an inappropriate fluoride treatment.<\/p>\n

There are several foods that cause stains on teeth. Coffee and juices are just a couple, not to mention how smoking stains your teeth.\u00a0 If your porcelain veneers were absorbing stain because of a problem with the glaze, it would be more across the surface of the tooth, not just in one line between the teeth.<\/p>\n

\"Porcelain<\/a>Because of the area of stain you describe, it’s likely that your problem is where the veneer meets your tooth. This could be caused by a gap between your tooth and the porcelain veneer that wasn’t bonded well and has allowed the stain to enter there.<\/p>\n

It could also be that there was some bonding composite on that line that wasn’t polished well. The stains may just be on that bonding agent. If that’s the case, it’s just a matter of repolishing that area.<\/p>\n

In either case, a return visit to the dentist who put on your porcelain veneers would be a good place to start.\u00a0 Hopefully, it’s just a simple polishing issue. Really, it’s a good idea to schedule regular maintenance appointments for your veneers. It will help maintain their stain-resistance and increase their lifespan.<\/p>\n
