How do I correct staining at the edges of my veneers?

If polishing the veneer with specialized porcelain veneer burs is not helping in resisting a continuous reoccurring stain then there may be a defect in the material in that one veneer that is allowing stains to get in.I suggest replacing the veneer rather than letting it drive you crazy.If you are happy with your dentist and his/her work you should discuss a single veneer replacement to satisfy your frustration with the stains that keep developing.Good luck!

Hello there,It's hard to say without seeing actual photos of your teeth.  You likely have only two options:Option #1:  Ask your dentist to use his or her bur to smooth your rough veneer. Option #2:  Replace the single veneer, so that you don't have to worry about it for another 10 or 20 years.Good luck and I hope this info helps you.

Hi, polishing the veneers with super fine burs and use of rubber wheels with polishing paste will typically do the work in removing any surface stains and bring back the luster to porcelain.  If you' re continually getting stains, it is going to be either because polishing is not being done properly or you have stains that are deeper and require replacement of the veneer.  As mentioned in previous comment, photos would be helpful.
