My porcelain veneers aren\u2019t as white as they used to be. I drink a lot of dark soda and coffee and I think it stained them. What can I do to make them white again? — Vanessa<\/p>\n

Dear Vanessa,
\nPorcelain veneers<\/a> have a glaze that should make them resistant to staining. The only reason they could possibly stain is if the glaze has been compromised \u2013 either by abrasives in the air or from a harsh toothpaste you\u2019re using. The glaze could also be affected by your dentist using a pumice paste or an air-powered cleaner.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a couple of things you could try:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Supersmile tooth-whitening\u00a0toothpaste is great for removing surface stains like coffee or tobacco. It won\u2019t work as well on stains that are embedded in the porcelain.<\/li>\n
  2. Laser tooth whitening or tray teeth whitening<\/a> will bleach the stains.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ideally, it would be best to find an expert cosmetic dentist to polish your veneers to restore their original shine. It won\u2019t bring back the glaze, but it will remove the current stains and make them more resistant to staining again in the future.<\/p>\n
