Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant; however, the bonding cement and your natural teeth are not. So when consuming foods or drinks that stain, you may notice your adjacent natural teeth start to look darker than your bright veneers, or maybe even the margins between your teeth look a little darker.
You want to avoid this problem by limiting the following and/or brushing and flossing right after consuming:
Coffee
Red wine / grape juice
Dark fruits
Tumeric / Curry
One way to minimize staining is by using a straw when drinking beverages that are more likely to stain your teeth. You will also want to floss or use a waterpik daily to clean between your teeth to avoid food staining at the margins.
Are you interested in getting porcelain veneers or are you thinking about a smile makeover, but you’re not sure where to start? Schedule a consultation with Dr. Johnson and find out which cosmetic dentistry treatment is right for you.
Micro-thin veneers are a revolutionary approach to improving cracked and chipped teeth. Veneers are thin white shells that are designed to cover up imperfections in your smile. Unlike regular dental veneers, micro-thin veneers don’t require the removal of healthy tooth enamel in order to restore your teeth. The material used is bonded directly to the teeth to improve their appearance. Along with repairing damage, veneers can also increase the size of your teeth or make your teeth appear straight.
Micro-thin veneers are a fantastic cosmetic solution for those who aren’t confident in their smile. Patients who have elected for this procedure have noticed vast improvements in their everyday life. Not only are they more confident, but they also find themselves smiling more in pictures and with friends. Talk to our team to determine if this cosmetic dental procedure is right for your smile.
Micro-thin veneers may be suitable for adults and adolescents seeking to effectively address several cosmetic dental conditions, including:
Chipped or cracked teeth
Very slightly discolored or stained teeth
Gaps or spaces (diastemas) between teeth
Misshapen, fanged or pointy and slightly misaligned teeth
Slightly crowded teeth
Worn teeth
Small teeth

There are several micro-thin veneer options – including Lumineers, Durathin and Vivaneers, among others. It is important to note that Lumineers – the most heavily marketed – or other micro-thin veneers are not the only (or most appropriate) cosmetic dentistry alternative for every case of discolored, crooked, chipped, misaligned or otherwise misshapen teeth. For example, while veneers are often called “instant orthodontics” and a viable option for slightly crooked teeth, they are not recommended for severely misaligned teeth. In such instances – despite the longer treatment time – your dentist might recommend braces or clear aligners such as Invisalign. Additionally, if a whiter, brighter smile is your goal, your dentist may recommend an in office, take home or a combination of these tooth-whitening treatments.
