No, they do not stain. Veneers are more stain-resistant than natural teeth because they are made from non-porous materials like porcelain. Your natural teeth are made of enamel containing very small pores that get pigment from food and drinks stuck in them.
Porcelain veneers have a smooth surface that is good at resisting staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and other common culprits. This means that your veneers will stay bright for many years with proper care.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that although the veneers themselves won’t stain, your natural teeth surrounding the veneer can still become discolored-looking. The bonding material that your dentist uses to adhere the veneers to your teeth can also discolor slightly over time, especially if you smoke or consume staining foods or drinks.
You should be sure to keep up with regular dental cleanings to help your surrounding teeth stay white. If possible, you should also stay away from food and drinks that cause stains.
