    Default Are veneers/caps stain resistant?

    I have them, and smoke occasionally, as well as drink a lot of tea. When I was getting them done the dentist said that porcelain veneers will never change color no matter what. Well, I went in for a cleaning recently and the hygenist said that veneers CAN darken after the extended period of smoking and tea/coffee drinking, and since they can't be whitened they'd have to be replaced. Anyone knows for sure? Thanks.

    yes they can..and do darken. the problem is, once they darken, you can't whiten them (even by the zoom laser). i have them on one of my teeth, and because i just got my teeth zoomed, i have to have that one redone because it is darker than the rest.

    hth!

    yes... they darken... for sure

    if you do get veneers or caps go for a really white color... it will get a little darker naturally as time goes on.
