Can You Still Enjoy Coffee with Veneers?

Drinking coffee is a part of many people’s daily rituals. Whether you want an energy boost or simply to enjoy a sense of warm comfort, partaking in your cup (or cups!) of Joe is something you may look forward to every day.  While it is certainly delicious, no one wants coffee-colored teeth. You are about to renew your smile with veneers and are curious if it can have the same effect on them. Your dentist in Royse is happy to share you need to know about coffee and your pearly white coverings!

So, Can You Still Enjoy Coffee with Veneers?

No need to prolong the good news: yes, you can still drink your warm cup of brew! Unlike your natural teeth, veneers are very stain-resistant. While tooth enamel is very porous, the thin porcelain shells of your new smile are not very absorbent, so they are less likely to take on the color of foods and beverages.

However, that doesn’t make them stain-proof. The deeply-pigmented particles of coffee can still affect your veneers and discolor them over time, especially if they are not properly cared for. If you don’t practice great oral hygiene habits every day, then coffee can slip under the edges and stain the bonding material that holds them in place, which would easily cause them to become discolored.

How Can I Keep My Veneers Bright and White?

By practicing your oral hygiene routine of brushing twice a day and flossing daily, you can keep your smile brilliantly white for up to two decades!

In addition, you can retain your radiant pearly whites by:

• Drinking more water throughout the day.
• Drinking non-clear beverages through a straw.
• Rinsing your mouth after you eat or drink.

What Should I Do If My Veneers Get Stained?

If your veneers become stained over time, there’s no need to worry! Even though professional whitening treatments are not suited for veneers, there are other possibilities to return your teeth to their initial luminous appearance. These could possibly include:

• Reglazing veneers
• Replacing veneers
• Veneer polishing

As you can see, you can still enjoy your morning cup of comfort. With the proper habits and care, you can count on a beautiful smile for years to come!
