What do I do?<\/p>\n<p>Karlyn M.<\/p>\n<p>Dear Karlyn,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/full-porcelain-veneer.jpg\" alt=\"A single porcelain veneer being held up by a dental tool\" width=\"212\" height=\"206\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-704\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/porcelain_veneers.html\">porcelain veneers are stain resistant<\/a>. In fact, they&#8217;re more resistant than our natural teeth and should last you many years with proper maintenance. If damage had been done to your veneers, which is possible if your hygienist uses a prophy jet or an acidulated fluoride, the staining is over the entire tooth. <\/p>\n<p>Because your stains are between the teeth, it makes me think you&#8217;ve got some composite bonding staining there. Though, I couldn&#8217;t tell you exactly without seeing a picture of it. This is fairly easy to solve and is actually just part of routine maintenance for your veneers. However, your average family dentist won&#8217;t know this polishing procedure. So, for this particular part of your regular maintenance, I&#8217;d go back to the dentist who placed your veneers to begin with.<\/p>\n<h2>Proper Maintenance for your Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Daily Oral Care: Be sure you&#8217;re brushing and flossing regularly. While your veneers are decay resistant, the exposed parts of your teeth are not. You&#8217;ll need to keep up with your care so you don&#8217;t end up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\/white_fillings.html\">needing a filling<\/a> on a veneered tooth.<\/li>\n<li>Toothpaste: I&#8217;m sure your cosmetic dentist already told you this, but the ideal toothpaste for you to use is Supersmile toothpaste. It&#8217;s specifically designed for use with cosmetic work.<\/li>\n<li>Regular Polishing: Just as your veneers were polished when you first received them, you need to schedule regular re-polishing appointments. The hygienist uses ultra-fine polishing strips in this area and an aluminum oxide polishing paste. For smokers, that&#8217;s even more important.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelliadds.com\">Dr. Mike Malone<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had porcelain veneers for about one-year.
