Natural teeth become stained over time because enamel is porous. It allows tiny particles, including pigments from foods, beverages, and tobacco, to sneak inside of it and cause discoloration. While porcelain looks like natural tooth enamel, it does not share its porous nature. In fact, porcelain is totally nonporous — just like glass. Pigments simply slide off of it.
Therefore, after you and your dentist choose the color for your veneers and they are custom-crafted to your specifications, the porcelain will never change color. That is one of the reasons why most cosmetic dentists recommend veneers rather than dental bonding to patients who want to make over their smile. The dental bonding material can become stained with consistent exposure to things like red wine and coffee.
